We all do in here, and it's fucking boring listening to it.

D’ya reckon it’s more or less boring to read you and others blindly keep backing his shite performances?

I’ll answer for ya… its fucking boring!

No one is blindly backing shite performances from Mario.  Mainly because he hasn't had any.  Sure he hasn't shown his full ability yet but how's about we let him settle in a bit first? Saying he has been shite so far is what stinks of conformation bias

Most other players don't get a second chance. If he was a white Italian with no attached antics, he'd be playing for Sampdoria by now. Actually, controversy has helped his career a lot so far. Heck, even with antics, similarly "talented" player Cassano got quickly transferred into smaller clubs in Italy after his short stint at Real Madrid. This is what Balotelli's career would have been if it not for his lucky stars.

What an ignorant and borderline racist comment.

I reckon there is working hard and there is working hard.  Mario has been tracking back closing down, participating in our pressure game.  The traditional English version of trying hard.

Compare that to a player like Tevez Suarez or Costa.  They don't track back all the time, what they do is always make the runs, always make the space, never give the opponent a second of peace whether they have the ball or not.  Mario still lacks that energy when we're moving the ball around and thats an area he needs to improve.

Then why not fuck out of this thread?

You've got nothing good to say about him, and you're boring a hell of a lot more people than not.
