“Selfish”, “Awful”, “Pathetic”: Media give their scathing views on Mario Balotelli’s cameo at Chelsea

Mario Balotelli was recalled to the Liverpool squad, perhaps surprisingly, then brought on to replace Lazar Markovic on 70 minutes. His cameo appearance though failed to impress.

Many fans were bemused to see Balotelli replace Markovic instead of Adam Lallana, and with hindsight that seems even more of a bad move by Brendan Rodgers. Incredibly, Lallana has the same amount of goals as Balotelli and fellow substitute Rickie Lambert have combined – a measly four all season.

The Italian, who hasn’t started a game for Liverpool since early November, produced a slack pass which gave Chelsea the free-kick from which Branislav Ivanovic headed the only goal of the game. While Balotelli’s role in the marking on the set-piece was also called into question.

Aside from his involvement in the goal, his overall performance across 50 minutes far from impressed and the football writers have given their views:

Steven Kelly, editor of the former LFC fanzine Through The Wind and Rain, writes for ESPN in his player ratings, where he gave Balotelli 4 out of 10:

Brendan Rodgers’ belief in the Italian’s ability to weave some magic and find some kind of form must surely have vanished by now. One or two decent flicks and the odd show of strength on the ball aside, most of his time was spent ambling around ineffectually, and any moment of danger was doused by his innate selfishness.

Chris Bascombe, The Telegraph‘s Liverpool correspondent wrote on twitter:

Sorry Mario. Sure there are worse but the memory fades. Chelsea, Stamford Bridge, 2015, sub-appearance. Awful.

The Echo’s Kristian Walsh marked Balotelli 5 out of 10, saying:

A poor display by the substitute. His pressing was a little better but wasted a couple of opportunities and allowed Ivanovic to wriggle free for Chelsea’s goal. Not the impact Liverpool needed.

Sam Wallace of The Independent was even more scathing, appraising:

Made three notable contributions to the match. He came on, ran down the left before he lost the ball ball shortly after coming on and blazed over from the edge of the Liverpool area. He continues to be dreadful and is generally at his best when defending throw ins. His sulking at the end of the game was fairly pathetic, too. 2

Meanwhile, the This Is Anfield fan average player rating for Balotelli is 3.3 out of 10.

Aside from the part he played in the goal, there were two wild shots from distance that wasted good chances, several lacklustre passes which gave away possession, and another failure to make a near post run when Alberto Moreno crossed from the left. All things we’ve witnessed over his time at Anfield this season.

The odd flick here and there looked nice but Liverpool lost control after his introduction, especially in the final third, and it’s no coincidence why.

Nobody is blaming Balotelli for the defeat, but his performance was again well below par. Rodgers’ decision to include him over Fabio Borini, and to sub him on instead of Lallana, have to be questioned.

Mungkin pagi tadi ramai yang terkejut dengan persembahan yang kurang meyakinkan daripada Mamadou Sakho selepas dia beraksi dengan cukup cemerlang dalam beberapa perlawanan sebelum ini.



Dia sebenarnya mengalami kecederaan belakang semasa memanaskan badan dan terpaksa diberi ubat tahan sakit supaya dapat beraksi. Tahap kecederaannya akan dinilai minggu ini sebelum perlawanan menentang West Ham pada 31 Januari nanti.

Video: Brendan Rodgers post-Chelsea — Liverpool “not clinical enough”

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says his side “just weren’t clinical enough” as they dropped out of the League Cup, going down 1-0 at Chelsea on Tuesday night, 2-1 on aggregate.

Asked about alledged stamping by Blues forward Diego Costa, Rodgers told Sky Sports 1: "He's an outstanding player, an outstanding footballer.

"He has this edge to him. With Emre Can, that was poor, I felt. He could easily hurdle over the young player and he directs his studs right on to his ankle, which could've been nasty.

"And again the one with Martin Skrtel. There's no need to do it. That's the sad thing of it.

"He's a top-class player and he's clever enough that the officials don't see it.

"It was poor from him. He doesn't need to do it. It wasn't good for the game.

"The referee didn't see it. When you see it afterwards, it's disappointing." PA

Capital One Cup: Chelsea reach final as Branislav Ivanovic's extra-time goal sinks Liverpool

Branislav Ivanovic's extra-time goal was enough to secure Chelsea's place in the Capital One Cup final as they beat Liverpool 1-0 on the night and 2-1 on aggregate.

In what was a pulsating cup tie at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night, Chelsea were lucky to keep their full complement of players on the pitch after Diego Costa appeared to stamp on Emre Can in the first half.

However, referee Michael Oliver was unmoved just as he was when Jose Mourinho's side thought they should have had a penalty after Martin Skrtel's challenge on Costa midway through the first-half.

In what was an end-to-end semi-final second-leg contest, Liverpool had the better chances of the first period but Alberto Moreno and Philippe Coutinho were both denied by excellent saves from Thibaut Courtois.

After the break, Costa was once again involved in controversy as he appeared to stamp again, this time on Skrtel, but once again there was no action taken against the Spain striker.

He could have made his luck count when bearing down on goal midway through the second half, but with just the goalkeeper to beat, Simon Mignolet made a vital last-ditch tackle.

Both sides had their chances to win it at the end of normal time but in what was a tale of two Belgian goalkeepers, Courtois and Mignolet were in inspired form as the scores stayed locked at 0-0.

However, it did not take long for the deadlock to be broken in extra-time as Ivanovic rose highest to head home Willian’s free-kick and book his side’s place in the Capital One Cup final against Tottenham or Sheffield United at Wembley on Sunday, March 1.

Chelsea boss Mourinho, who made nine changes to his side following the shock home defeat by Bradford, spent much of the night fuming, but it was Reds boss Brendan Rodgers who had reason to feel most aggrieved early on as Costa should have been sent off for stamping on Can's ankle.

Minutes later, Kurt Zouma, in the Chelsea side in place of Gary Cahill, misjudged a long ball and Raheem Sterling looked to take advantage - but the Frenchman used his pace well to recover and stop the England forward in his tracks.

Costa should then have had a penalty when tripped by Skrtel, but referee Michael Oliver waved away appeals, much to the astonishment and anger of Mourinho.

Twice Liverpool spurned chances to take the lead as Courtois saved well from Moreno and then Coutinho, while Mignolet twice denied Costa at the other end.

Mourinho raged at Oliver at half-time and his mood would not have improved when Cesc Fabregas was forced to leave the field minutes after the break to be replaced by Ramires, especially with the visit of Manchester City looming on Saturday.

Costa was once again in the thick of the action as he appeared to stamp again, this time on Skrtel, but once again the striker avoided any punishment.

He could have made Liverpool pay midway through the second half but Mignolet was on hand to make a vital last-ditch tackle with Costa bearing down on goal. Seconds later, Sterling was the one trying to latch onto a misplaced pass but this time it was Courtois who was quick off his line, saving at the feet of the striker.

There was more Mourinho anger when Jordan Henderson avoided a second booking for handball late on in the game and his displeasure with the officials continued into extra-time as he missed Ivanovic's header while talking to fourth official Phil Dowd.

With Manchester City the visitors to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Saturday, the additional half hour was less than welcome, but they had the final word as Ivanovic headed home Willian’s free-kick from close range to book their place at Wembley.

They now await the winner of Sheffield United’s clash with Tottenham on Wednesday night, with the first silverware of the season up for grabs on March 1.
