TROUBLE IN PARADISE? OH, DEAR...
Brendan Rodgers admitted his disappointment in his Liverpool side on a night when the controversial side of Mario Balotelli again surfaced.
The Reds lost 1-0 to Basel in Switzerland, leaving them with an uphill task to reach the Champions League knockout stages.
The Italian striker cut an increasingly frustrated figure, and he risked a red card when raising a hand to the face of an opponent, before being castigated by Rodgers at the end for failing to go to the travelling Reds support, and show his appreciation.
Rodgers said: “I’m not sure if he went back out to say thanks to the fans because I came straight here.
“But I was speaking to one or two of the players to make sure they did that – it’s important, our supporters have travelled a long way and that is why it’s important they acknowledge the support, and what they have put in to get here.”
