Balotelli is not any type of football player

[Bingo Lewis]

I can't understand the stick for last night. He was obviously not well.
He's no machine people.

Its because alot of don't like his apparent attitude and jump on any opportunity to have a go.

Can't tell if you are joking or not.

Exactly people are having a go at every opportunity.Even when he scores people find something from his performance to bitch about.
It's wearing a bit thin at this stage reading the same abuse he's getting over and over again.

[Hazy2]

Mario IMO will cost us Tevez, who looks like he detests him and Mancini will regret like Hughes must when he signed RSC, The player person whatever gives me the impression he hates his life. I almost feel sorry for him it is sad to see someone so fucked up. He is the first to retire before 23 IMO, he needs help.

[Ted Hughes]

I just think that the idea of a footballer who's allergic to grass is hilarious.

He's also allergic to hard work, smiling, and not getting booked

[Blue2]

Not allergic to scoring goals though!

[Beefymcfc]

He's misunderstood.

[kinkylola]

had an allergic reaction, took anti-histamine shoots to the face, wanted to continue playing in the game. Ended up he couldn't continue = a disgrace to the team! errr, sounds about right I guess. Good thing tevez came on and changed the game! Or at least he ran around a lot gor darnit!

[Ted Hughes]

He's misunderstood.

I'm the same.

[lets all have a disco]

Allergic to certain types of grass,Madness.
Next well sign a player who is allergic to sweat.

Give this guy a break. It is obvious to see he is an absolute brilliant talent, the most exciting thing ive ever seen in a sky blue shirt. He needs support, this is why he fell out of love with Inter. When we sing his name it gives him belief, we need to do this every game and make he feel at home.

Last night he had a problem with grass, it is something which we cannot change he came off for the good of his health. It is our physios fault for not dealing with this before the game. Instead we embarrass ourselves.

The fact is he is one of our better players he can change at a game at the drop of a hat. He is so much better than any of the other young strikers in the world and reminds me of an early Cristiano Ronaldo. Give this guy time, and space. Back him, he will win us trophies.

I hate the fact our fans dont give poeple time... Look at players like Malouda, Nani and Nasri..... All of these2 took at least a season to even look like premier league players.

Tbf although I agree with you, Balotelli is a much more controversial character than the ones you mention & therefore will always attract a greater level of criticism whether he plays well or not. (most rags fans I know absolutely slaughtered Nani though so that's not a good comparison).

I agree but if his persona remains the same he'll get a lot of publicity & some people won't like him, wherever he plays.

He's acting like a naughty dog.
You hope it will stop nipping but it still pisses you off every single time it does it despite the strokes and pats.

[Dubaimancityfan]

He still played better than Dzeko whilst he was on the pitch. Prick - yes no doubt.

I think that just about sums up Mario.
A prick ? yes. But we'll still get a few goals from him in the remainder of the season. Whether he stays or goes after that, I don't give a fuck.

[OliverHardy]

He is no angel and is barking mad, he has talent (see the way he took the ball down from behind him last night on the left wing with the outside of his foot) but he is young and it not being played consistently in the right position, neither is Tevez, neither is Dzeko. Herein lies the problem, we swap and change the team around WAY too much. As Townsend said last night, Mancini needs to know his strongest line up and use it, he just isn’t doing that now. Personally I think that Tevez and Dzeko (although it is no coincidence that we are not seeing his fully potential either) play better with each other as shown last night to a minor degree. Now for all his troubles Balotelli WAS actually ill last night and did at least try to put in a decent shift in most of the first half, some of the comments in this thread are way over the mark. The main point about last night is that we were CRAP as a TEAM, almost every last one of them was poor and likely because our tactics are all over the place. Balotelli is being made a scapegoat to some degree, he is arrogant, mad and not playing too well the way he is being played, but lets not blame everything on him. I would almost guarantee that which ever manager (Mancini or not) plays him in the right position with the right tactical setup around him will enable him to become a GREAT, whether he can fit in our team or not is a different matter currently. One thing though, if we did get rid, he will likely be following Carlos of the door at the end of the season, Dzeko and Jo up front then...
