He barely scores, he barely runs and he's barely got any fans left... so, just how has Liverpool's £16m flop Balotelli lost his way?

Adam Lallana's shot was parried by Alex McCarthy in
Queens Park Rangers's goal and the ball fell invitingly to Mario Balotelli with an open goal in front of him.
The Liverpool striker was left with a simple tap-in, went to side-foot the ball into the net but it instead flew miles over the bar.
That wasn't the first open goal he has missed this season.




That £16million price-tag is increasing in weight with every missed chance. This is a player who in 2010 only rated Lionel Messi above him, then in 2013 was gracious enough to add Cristiano Ronaldo to that list.
'When I score, I don't celebrate because I'm only doing my
job. When a postman delivers letters, does he celebrate?'Balotelli asked in 2012.

Liverpool legend Jimmy Case gave a more brutal. assessment: 'Mario Balotelli is a waste of space at the minute.'
