Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher says Mario Balotelli should be dropped for their Champions League clash with Real Madrid. He believes Brendan Rodgers should play in-form Raheem Sterling down the middle instead.
Carragher said: "I would bring [Philippe] Coutinho in for Balotelli and play Raheem Sterling at centre-forward.
"They can't have any passengers. He [Balotelli] doesn't run around enough and against Real Madrid you've got to get that crowd going.
"There's got to be an energy about Liverpool that we haven't seen; we've seen it once this season at Spurs.
"It's going on too long now and we can't keep waiting. It's a huge game and Liverpool have to get something from it.
"I would put Raheem Sterling in there because he can run in behind and Liverpool may have to counter-attack a lot of the game. Madrid may have a lot of the ball.
"Sterling can also press from the front. He doesn't have to play right up front and he can come back and help the midfield."
