Pundits back Balotelli and Gerrard to improve
Michael Owen believes misfiring Mario Balotelli is the man to turn Liverpool’s season around, despite the Italian scoring just twice since his £16m move from AC Milan.
“The only obvious solution is for Brendan Rodgers to get the most out of Balotelli. He is more than capable and the upcoming fixtures are not the most daunting. It’s a big opportunity for Super Mario to do the business and I think he will.”
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace skipper Mile Jedinak believes Steven Gerrard can still win the Premier League with Liverpool. He told the Daily Star: “I don’t think he’d still be playing if he thought last season was his last chance. I’m sure he believes he will get another chance.
