"Balotelli has more Premier League medals than Carragher" - Twitter was divided on the former Kop legend's punditry tonight

Mario Balotelli is leaving Liverpool

Mario Balotelli is leaving Liverpool and, just in case you didn't see Monday Night Football, this is welcome news for Jamie Carragher.

The former Liverpool man said he didn't want to say too much about the Italian's pending transfer to AC Milan in case he "jinxed it".

But talk he did. While Carragher hailed the defending by Liverpool following their third clean sheet in a row - going so far as to heap praise on Dejan Lovren - he scoffed at the suggestion that Mario Balotelli had quality.

The Liverpool legend was the centre of plenty of debate on Twitter.
