Mario Balotelli: Makes Impact In Debut

Balotelli didn't manage to get on the scoresheet in his Liverpool debut, but recorded a shot on target and a key pass before being subbed off in the 61st minute.

Analysis:

Balotelli's debut was a quiet, but successful one as he forced Hugo Lloris to make a tough save early on and created a bit of extra space up front for the Liverpool attack to exploit. It is encouraging for fantasy owners to see manager Brendan Rodgers preferring to play two up front, and it should only be a matter of time before Balotelli starts finding the back of the net.
