Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has jumped to the defence of Mario Balotelli.
Fowler insists Balotelli will prove his worth.
"For whatever reason, it hasn't worked out for him so far," Fowler admits to FourFourTwo.
"But Balotelli is a fantastic talent, he has scored goals everywhere he has been.
"You look at the clubs he has played for, and he obviously has something about him.
"He needs to concentrate on his football, forget about any off-field antics and run about a little bit more.
"I am sure he will be a good player for Liverpool.
"Players always come and go, but the manager will always have his own tactics and good players adapt to tactics.
"Like I said, Balotelli is a good player so we will be OK."
