    Can't help but feel a bit sorry for Balotelli who I believe has been made Liverpool's scapegoat for their poor start to the season. Don't get me wrong he is a bit of a twat but for some people to be putting sole responsibility of Liverpool's problems on his shoulders in a bit much.

    For Liverpool standards they have looked poor this season all over the pitch. Mingolet has been questionable, Gerrard is holding them back and looks poor but is spared the criticism because he is a cult legend status, Sterling has under performed and generally the whole squad and management looks flat, uninterested and unimaginative.

    Having said all of this, the book seems to be stopping with Balotelli because blaming the guy with the past like his, is the easy thing to do.

    He was always going to have the odds stacked against him with his reputation, playing style, previous club (man city) and Suarez leaving.

    The majority of the times I have seen Liverpool playing this year, he seems to be one of the only player who is actually trying to make something happen. A striker thrives on confidence and that is when the goals start coming - but how hard is that going to be when he is continually referred to Suarez and made a scapegoat for the rest of the failing Liverpool team.

    It doesn't help that he has legends like Carragher slandering him every week because of their own personal dislike for the player. Calling for his head and for him to be sold in January. Carragher should be ashamed to be laying into Balotelli whilst the window is shut and he is a Liverpool player.

    Liverpool need to move on from Suarez. Start looking forward and stop look backwards (which is something Liverpool seem incapable of doing)

    What? Liverpool blaming everything on one person rather than the team as a whole? Never.

    No - the 'Escapegoat' is Suarez. With him gone (and Sturridge in cotton wool) they're f*****

    I think Stan is insinuating the fact that Suarez ****ed off aka 'escaped'.

    There seems to have been some kind of mistake. Surely you meant to post this here:

    http://www.not606.com/forumdisplay.php/21-Liverpool

    Obviously, nobody gives a **** about Liverpool FC news on this forum.

    Calm down! Of course you know - you used it correctly. I, however, just made a play on it.

    1. It isn't Liverpool news. It is just an opinion on what is going on there.

    2. o/t - Off Topic

    3. I am a fan of football and keep up to date with many different leagues.

    4. I wanted to see the opinion of our fans on here and see what their take is.

    5. Plenty of threads happen on here that aren't related to us. i.e O/T did felaini spit at aguero? If you want to be the forum police then I am sure someone could make you a badge.

    6. Wind you neck in.
