Balotelli's Attitude

Postby King Kev » Sat Oct 15, 2011 5:23 pm

I'm liking what I'm seeing from our young dart player recently.

His reaction when things don't go well for him (get's fouled, a pass goes astray, etc) is 100% better than it was when we first signed him and his work-rate has hugely improved too.

Well done to Mario, Roberto and everybody involved. Long may it continue.

I think it`s cos Tevez is now shit at the club and he can see where his place is in the squad.

I just loved how he reacted to the Villa fans. I think they helped getting him going today and we saw the result
It may be my last year as a season ticket holder as it just doesn't seem the same with so few English and local players (but I said that last year)

Funny as fook our Mario. I mean, any other player that scored a goal like he did today would have been on a wankfest celebrating.
Attitude was excellent and worked hard. Gutted he can't play on Tues.

Agree, it was class. The last thing you should do as a fan is give a striker shit it will always come back to bite you in the arse.

This made my day, loved it when the brum gave him shit and he told them to shhhhh , then when he finished the way he did, we knew where he'd be heading. Loved it! Used to hate him.

True..If he carries on playing like he has, i can see him challenging Dzeko for his place in the 1st eleven. Still would of been nice to have Mario on the bench Tues just in-case we got an injury up front.

It was funny as I thought it was Mario who had done a poor pass.

He seems genuinely chuffed when a team mate scores which was not always the case. He obviously gets on well with Vinnie which is great. He's still too easily provoked but there again god knows what the Villa fans were saying to him.

LOVED Hansen's analysis of him. Just shows how much of a character he is. So entertaining.

His spats with Yaya are hilarious. They get on well at training by all accounts. Just explosive characters. I'm like that with my fellow band mates actually. When we have a disagreement on something it gets all tense and emotional, but its just cos we give a fuck. Nowt personal.

He needs to let off steam and Yaya is his pressure valve. Better the occasional strop with someone he gets on so well with, than a huge blow up that costs him a red card.

From everything I have seen at training they get on really well.

When you say really well how well do you mean?

Like as in the appear to be actual friends, not just cordial teammates?

In your opinion, doug, in a slight change of subject - who are the little groups of pals? Not cliques as such, cos i'm sure there's none of that...but who do you see talking to each other most etc?

For example, I can imagine Hart, Micah and Lescott are dead close.
