Unhappy Liverpool players convinced Rodgers playing Balotelli favourites

Liverpool players feel manager Brendan Rodgers is showing favouritism towards Mario Balotelli. There is a feeling in the dressing room the boss has gone overboard with Balotelli - playing him until he breaks his duck in the Premier League, says the People.

Patience is wearing thin and a source close to the players said: "There is a growing sense of frustration. It seems no matter how badly Mario plays, he's in the team.

"It's almost like the manager is trying to prove a point, playing him until he scores."
