Topics: Liverpool, Brendan Rodgers, Mario Balotelli
The Italian striker did not see play in Liverpool's recent win. He considered himself an unselfish player.

Everything seemed to be going well for Liverpool after their 2-0 win over Burnley on Wednesday. That was until Mario Balloteli congratulated his team on social media, not without first expressing some kind of disappointment.

The Italian striker saw the game unfold from the bench. His efficiency this first season with Liverpool has been disastrous. Only one goal in Premier League competition since he arrived last summer from AC Milan with not many games left.

Could the message be for media, fans or Brendan Rodgers?

In a recent game against Besiktas, Balotelli was subbed out before the game went into overtime and penalty kicks. He was obviously not happy with his coach, Brendan Rodgers.

This staredown from Balotelli to Rodgers had people questioning the relation between the two

After their latest win against the Clarets, the Italian also wanted to silence critics who see him as a selfish player. He considered himself a team player and proud of his teammates for winning the game. Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge were the ones that scored.

The Reds next game is against Rovers in the FA Cup Quarterfinal. They are currently in fifth spot, just two points behind the Red Devils and three behind Arsenal who is third in the Premier League.
