Liverpool 3 - Manchester City 0

I think Liverpool showed Bob, what attacking means, he got the selection wrong tonight, big time. Liverpool well deserved the victory, because they upped their game and we didn't. Dalgleish motivated his side and I cannot say the same for Bob.

I am sorry, but enough is enough. I am a patient City fan who generally thinks the manager always knows best over me. I am not, by any means, an expert, but it is plain to see that Mario Balotelli is nothing but a 'pretender'. When he plays we have a passenger. When he plays it is 10 v 11. In fact it is worse. He gives the ball away with the majority of his touches, I honestly believe we would play better with 10, as we did against Kiev. It has got to the point where it is embarrassing and I cannot defend him anymore. No doubt he can finish, but football is about far more than that and without any decent build up play, there will be no opportunities to finish anyway. What is most worrying, is that the other players seem to know this and therefore he zaps the confidence and moreover the 'heart' out of the side. You can see the other players desperately trying to persevere, but know deep down they have no confidence in him. It is gut-wrenching to see players of Kompany's caliber having to play alongside him, knowing full well he is just going to crumble at the first challenge. He is not a winner. He does not have the mettle. I honestly know that we would be better off with a player like Bellamy - somebody who cares more about the team than making excuses for his own inability. Moriniho knew this; Mancini needs to accept this. It was a mistake - stop flogging a dead horse. He is an embarrassment!
