da cassino online: Jamie Redknapp believes that Mario Balotelli has a lack of “respect” for Liverpool and his team-mates and should be axed by manager Brendan Rodgers after his penalty incident against Besiktas last night.
da prosport bet: The 24-year-old struck a last gasp spot-kick to hand the Reds a 1-0 win in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 clash with the Turkish giants, but the whole episode was shrouded in controversy.
Balotelli appeared to wrestle the ball from designated taker Jordan Henderson before firing in in front of the Kop, and after the game Steven Gerrard – who was working in a punditry role due to his injury problems – was critical of the forward’s actions.

‘Balo’ has recently enjoyed a mini revival after a tough opening few months to his Liverpool career, notching a vital winning goal against Tottenham in the league before helping the club to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with a good 45 minute cameo at Crystal Palace.
But Redknapp feels that he’s not worth the bother after his latest indiscretion:
“The problem you have with Mario is I don’t think he has got a lot of respect for anybody.” He told talkSPORT. “He has worked with some of the best managers in Prandelli, Mourinho, Mancini, everybody he has worked with has tried with this man but nobody seems to get to the bottom of it.
“The objective is to put the ball into the back of the net, thankfully that is what he did, but it is not nice to see players arguing like that on the field.
“He is an incredibly confident penalty taker and very good at it, but it is that lack of respect that he has.
“I don’t see long-term he will be at Anfield, I really don’t. He has scored a couple of goals in fairness, the goals against Tottenham and yesterday were important, but I am sure Brendan Rodgers is thinking he is more hassle than he is worth because he hasn’t produced the quality you would like and when you look at other players around him they don’t seem to enjoy his company on the field.
“It always seems to be about him, but it shouldn’t be. He is working at a great football club with lots of other good young players and I am sure they look around and wonder why he gets so much attention when he doesn’t deserve it.”
