'Liverpool's style doesn't suit Balotelli'

  • Intro:

    Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers previews the Premier League match at Burnley on Boxing Day, when Reds forward Mario Balotelli is set to return from suspension.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English), Brendan Rodgers (on whether Mario Balotelli can fit in with 'high intensity' style of Liverpool):
    "Well I think that we've seen that it is not really his game. I think working with Mario in the period of time that he has been in here, we see that he is probably somebody who is better in and around the box. So that level of intensity and pressing isn't part of his game. But you try and get the best of the players that you have and the qualities that they have - so that's something that we will focus on. But the most important thing is that he is now available after the ban. After his ban it adds another player to the squad and another player that is available, especially with Fabio (Borini) not becoming available."

    SOUNDBITE: (English), Brendan Rodgers (on Burnley):
    "He's (Sean Dyche) got them working right to the limit. 4-4-2, very aggressive in their pressure and especially at home they will be looking at their home games to pick up points which is critical for you, especially when you get promoted. They've got some outstanding players, the boy Ings is a talent -- his intensity, his work rate is good, he presses the ball well but he is clever when he has it. So, he has got them really functioning well as a team, so we understand it is going to be a really difficult game for us. But as I say, we play with the confidence that we've got."
