Brendan Rodgers is so desperate for goals from his misfiring frontline that he’s willing to throw recently recovered Mario Balotelli into the fray at Manchester United this Sunday, according to The Star.
Balo has been out injured out for a month, and during that period Rodgers has had to rely on Rickie Lambert up front – whose scored just once in that time.
Liverpool have been left to rely on their midfield for goals, so it looks like Rodgers is ready to put his faith in Balo this Sunday, even if he’ll be short of match fitness.
The thing is, he hasn’t actually scored a league goal yet either
