Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers insists Mario Balotelli will come good.
Rodgers backed £16million AC Milan recruit Balotelli to emerge stronger after his slump, once Liverpool successfully shift their team "dynamic".
"He's not going to be what Suarez was: he's a totally different type of player," said Rodgers.
"Luis played on the shoulder, we freed up the team for him for a couple of years to exploit his qualities.
"Now we have to have a different dynamic and type of game, but (Balotelli) has got qualities, and he's really focused on making sure that he's concentrating on preparing himself to train and play.
"And then eventually the goals will come for him."
