Mario Balotelli is defying convention. Typically it was Mario's job to save Princess Peach from a tower, but he's subverting our expectations. In this analogy Brendan Rodgers is Bowser, which is appropriate.

Mario’s picture raises one question: Is there really a hideous tower prison looming above Anfield? After extensive research and satellite evidence from Google we can say that it appears Balotelli’s picture is an exaggeration. It’s surprising, we know.

Wait a second ... Mario’s photo is of Wembley. More research is needed.
