FIXED.Chelski fans are the worst.
If he were to leave we would still have Sturridge
He was praised for being a young talent. And that game against Germany in Euro 2012 proved that he has talent. But so far in his career, he hasn't been able to do much with it.balo aint doing anything for liverpool. dudes overrated hot basura idk why he gets praised.
If he continues playing poorly and not living up to his potential, pretty soon he won't be imporant enough to be criticized and simply no dambs will be given when he messes up.Wow I seriously cannot believe the backlash towards Balo man
I don't really like Balo, personally I think he's an idiot and I said he'd be playing on a mid-table Italian team or in Turkey within a few years before - but god damn man - he is not the reason Liverpool lost this game.
He's literally being attacked like he scored those goals himself. English media is going crazy because he traded jersey's with Pep at the half - do you know how many times players do that in Latin-Europe? thats very common because players always wear fresh-new jerseys during the second half anyways. Not his fault he doesn't know the tradition of the English football culture.
Now I understand why he wore the "Why Always Me" shirt before, he really is an unnecessary target.

Trust me I agree with you 100%. I remember when Sterling started playing with the senior team and a few matches later Rodgers had him on the bench.Yea but Sturrudge is older and he wasn't brought up thru the Liverpool ranks. Sterling needs to stay, can't let him go. I don't care how much they pay you. Just like with Suarez, even tho he wanted to go - no amount if money could fill that void. Sterling has the potential to be that important for Liverpool on and off the pitch
My man, I want to agree with what you're saying. And partially I do, because I know Balo takes a lot of heat for his antics. But I think the issue with Balo, is that he takes a lot of flack because he has all of the God given talent but doesn't put in a shift. Look at Torres, at first the crowd couldn't stand him and give him flack. But after a while Fernando WORKED every minute he played. You could see he wanted it really badly, but things just didn't come together for him.
Balo on the other hand is always shown not giving it his all in training, not even being bothered to try, often going missing on the pitch. Those individual moments of brilliance that we see on YouTube only come every now and again, and while other players put in a shift between those individual moments, Balo doesn't.

I agree with all this tho - We're not that far off.
All I'm saying is...
A) he is not the reason why Liverpool lost this game, Liverpool were outmatched by world class players at every position. They had no chance.
B) the English media attack is using this "trading jerseys at halftime" narrative to fuel the backlash - I'm saying, that's completely ridiculous. Trading a jersey at halftime may not be done in England but it's done in Southern Europe, I know that. It should not be taken as "insulting". It's not that big of a deal.
...and that's it, that's all I'm saying.
