The departure of Luis Suarez from Liverpool and into Barcelona allowed the head coach of Liverpool, Brendan Rodgers on making a number of signings that reinforced different areas of his squad.
One of the players that was signed to try and somehow fill the gap that was left by the Uruguayan forward was Mario Balotelli as he was signed from Ac.Milan with a price tag of €16 million but the Italian attacker has not scored a single goal out of the 4 Premier League matches that he has played for Liverpool so far.
Everton, West Ham United, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspurs have been all of the opponents in the Premier League that Liverpool has faced off in this season and where Mario Balotelli has been featured but he has failed to make a good performance at all.

When news about Mario Balotelli being signed by Liverpool made its way to headlines of websites and newspapers from all over the world, fans of the English club were rather divided as they were well aware that a player such as: Mario Balotelli is a huge gamble for any team.
Mario Balotelli is a figure that has the potential of becoming world class and he has displayed it on a number of occasions with Italy but his actions inside the pitch and outside of it as well has affected his overall image and performance as a player.
When the transfer was officially completed and Mario Balotelli completed his move to Liverpool, Brendan Rodgers was delighted to have signed the Italian player as he said that he was a player that is worth taking a risk for but Rodgers has now revealed that Balotelli was one of the only few options he had on signing.
“Mario was the one right at the very end who was available for that. I said when he came in that it was a calculated risk and it’s something I have to work on to try to make it work for the team. “I think in terms of goals, he needs to improve. It is as simple as that’’ Rodgers said.
