I don't think it's just down to him being isolated though, Sterling and co got around him yesterday. The amount of attacks we had where we had numbers forward, only for Mario to go heads down and try to take everyone on, or his usual shoot on sight policy, no matter how tight the angle or how far out he is, or how many bodies are in front of him.
I agree there are times when he's isolated, and I hated seeing us trying to launch it from deep yesterday, those diagonal passes and typical target man hoofs were frustrating, but he had chances and he had support.
Watch the first goal again, he's completely switched off with his back to the play, he could have bagged a goal had he been alert.
So everyone on board with the he's completely fuckinh useless yet?
Steve Peters needs to learn Italian
No. Not yet.
Mario's biggest problem is his pride. His big fat ego.
He's been pampered and playing the victim card all throughout his life, adopting a siege mentality if you like, and now that he finds himself in an entirely new situation where he no longer receives much empathy, and being taken a lot more seriously, and not being afforded the luxury to spit the dummy whenever he feels like it....he becomes dumbstruck with a mixture of terror, fear and confusion. It's like he doesn't know how to react. For the first time in his life, he's been asked to grow up and he doesn't know how or what it means to be an adult. It's like the emperor discovering he has been naked to the watching world the whole time and is burning with embarrassment and shame.
His sulking is a facade put up to hide his fears.
I feel sorry for him because in a way, it has everything to do with his upbringing, yet at the same time, frustrated for him - because he looks more lost than ever, not just as a player, but as a person.
If he is only willing to humble himself and unlearn and learn - he can and will improve.
But the main problem is this - is he willing to admit that he's made lots of mistakes and to submit himself to be taught ?
There are signs of it but saying one thing in the media and sincerely desiring and acting on it, is an entirely different thing altogether.
PS : I think Mario is every psychology student's wet dream.

The bloody useless twat will probably score a hat trick against Real now.....
...and we'll lose 3-8.
He did buy two strikers
As in two first team strikers. Lambert is not that players.
I'm still fuming about his display yesterday.
He going to ruin us as a team.
You can see the likes of Lallana and Sterling getting pissed off already with his attitude. Everything breaks down with him and it's going to get tot the point where players avoid him.
The finish he skied over smacked of complacency and the flick at 2-2 was just an insult. He HAD to score that heyet he does something like that.
Can you imagine what someone like Roy Keane would have done to him if he was in the same team? I hope Gerrard tore a fucking strip off the guy.
He'll never do what it takes to win. The Anti-Suarez.

Even if I agreed I could never get on board with this fucking abortion of a post.
He's the epitome of my classing a certain type of player as a 'merde sac'. He's basically a shit bag with a smidge of class.
Hes been posting since 2006. It aint gonna fucking happen.
Ha. I can't see it improving at all (Mario's form I mean)
You look at the other players and even Henderson is throwing his hands up in the air in frustration when he tamely sends another selfish shot wide. The rest of the players don't want him here.
Good. Still can't believe so many thought it was a good gamble. It's not even his off field antics, he's just a selfish footballer and not what we needed.
He surely can't get worse?? If lambert or Borini had been given as much of a run they'd be doing better
Ha. I like my once a year decent post ratio
That's fucking daft. The rest of the players don't want him here? Mental.
No harm to you, but it's so obvious you're American.
I think it's something to do with comparing Heskey and Balotelli. Although I'm not sure where exactly the racism comes into it. Is it racist to compare an English man with an Italian?
That's pretty harsh. I don't think he's "completely fuckinh useless".
However, I never thought he'd be good for us, and never wanted us to sign him. I don't know what made Rodgers change his mind and sign him after declaring he was never signing for us.
Unfortunately, I still haven't seen anything from him that will make me change my mind. I really hope I'm wrong.
