Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli has taken it upon himself to create a video to show Brendan Rodgers that he can actually hit the target.

The Italian striker has endured a woeful start to his career with the Anfield club, failing to score in the Premier League in his 12 appearances.

In total he has scored only twice in 18 games for the club since his £16m move from AC Milan last summer, so the maverick forward decided to release this video (below) to remind his manager that he has still got it, chipping the ball onto a bottle of water, and then fist pumping in celebration.

WATCH: BALOTELLI HITS THE TARGET

The 24-year-old is expected to feature for the Reds against Bolton Wanderers tonight, at least he has been getting some target practice in.
