Balotelli did grab it from him, I just think he was right in doing so. Rodgers and Gerrard have both said at some point that Balotelli is the next kick taker after Gerrard. Henderson and Sturridge didn't seem to be aware of this at the time though, which is BRs fault IMO.
It was all handled quite poorly, and Gerrard made it 10 times worse by stating it all publicly, instead of going with the diplomatic answer like BR, Henderson, and Balotelli all did.
