7-2 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The captain has little to do on the pitch apart from calling heads or tails so he should be ensuring the right person takes the kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David W Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hopefully the handbags over the penalty doesn't distract from the fact that Balotelli's performance was terrific, and has been in the last week. He's looked motivated, his movement has been much improved and combine that with his other attributes and you've got a player who's impossible to play against. Would be good to see him and Sturridge up front together at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris. Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Decent-ish results for the Italian sides. Napoli are through, Inter whilst disappointed at blowing a 2 goal lead will see off Celtic, Roma although conceding an away goal will score next week and are better away from home just now, Fiorentina with a draw and away goal at Tottenham, only Torino are the real concern. I'd expect Inter and Roma to go through with Napoli, Torino to go out on away goals and I can't call Fiorentina. Get the first goal and I'd fancy them to go through too.

Rab B Nesbit Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 A win, clean sheet and set up nicely for next week. A good Europa run could be invaluable for this young Liverpool side. The good run continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurph Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Great result for Celtic all things considered, even if the Inter team is one of the worst in years. Can't imagine Inter not going through now though. Good result for Fiorentina too and should hopefully win the return leg. Balotelli's a king at penalties. Regardless of whether Henderson/Sturridge wanted him to take it or not, he's almost guaranteed to score it. And he did. Don't see all the fuss. If he missed, that's another story.

J_Stewart Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Mario Balotelli's the best penalty taker in world football. Stopping him from taking a penalty whilst he's on the pitch would be complete and utter incompetence from the manager / captain (whoever's decision it is). No surprise to see Liverpool's most talented player finding form and winning them games. Excellent player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'm pretty sure Inter won't be doing one next week when they draw with your mob. And go through. We will probably do one for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 No surprise to see Liverpool's most talented player finding form and winning them games. Excellent player. Agreed. Daniel Sturridge's return to the side has come at the perfect time for them, following the holocaust of a season Balotelli has had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Agreed. Daniel Sturridge's return to the side has come at the perfect time for them, following the holocaust of a season Balotelli has had. It's a good partnership, get Sturridge to do the donkey work, and have a player of genuine talent like Balotelli be the match winner. Working well for them.

Mark Connolly Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Strachan also made the point at the time that the best penalty taker took it, even if he wasn't supposed to. Gerrard didn't look happy at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 It's a good partnership, get Sturridge to do the donkey work, and have a player of genuine talent like Balotelli be the match winner. Working well for them. Have you got Balotelli's season stats there? Just wondering... It's no surprise Balotelli has had his best games this season when Sturridge has played. It's really the same as last season with Sturridge and Suarez. Having a far superior threat alongside you (as Sturridge had last season and Balotelli has this) creates space and opportunity for the lesser player. If you have a choice of whether to mark Sturridge or Balotelli, there's only one choice. You pick the superior player - which is why Sturridge playin gis a huge boost to Balotelli.
