I personally love Balotelli and think it is time for Mancini to give him a solid run of starts up top to let him grow into his potential.<br /><br />On the other hand, it would be nice if Mario tried to stay on his feet a bit, though I do feel he gets targeted by opposition, who just foul him out of desperation since they can't deal with his superior strength and speed.<br /><br />I was surprised and disappointed by his whiff on Kolarov's cross in front of goal last game, which was made to look even worse when Sergio tucked in a much tougher chance at the near post, but I do think Mario is being squandered on the bench.<br /><br />I think Balotelli with Aguero and Tevez behind and/or out wide would work...Purdnoreply@blogger.com
