Balotelli - Why Did Rodgers Bring Him On...

...after the destructive criticism of his unsuitable style of play and work ethic 3 days ago?
After heaping praise on both Lambert and Borini after the Bolton game, why would he turn to a player he hung out to dry then expect him to turn a fast paced, dynamic game like yesterdays after stating clearly that he lacks the attributes to fit this style?
Was this the ultimate ego trip for Brendan, going all Hollywood and trying to prove what a masterful manager he is?

Very odd. Very odd indeed.

Really? For Pens, you would have need to score a goal first, surely Lallana would have been a better call?

Pens is a good shout

I thought he did a good job out on the left wing personally . Held the ball up well and made a fair few clever passes.

He and borini are about as likely to score as each other
Borini runs more, balo is a better physical presence

It's not as if he came on with better players still on the bench

As a Chelsea fan it was a relief to see him brought on last night. Not because I think he's terrible, he's not. It's just he doesn't fit their system. Their whole attack slowed down when he came on. Was Lallana injured? Rodgers has them playing a better system now when they don't have Sturbridge, I doubt Mario will see much game time when Daniel returns.

to be fair, if hendo could have just headed in with that chance he had.. it was likely to have gone to pens.
