Fabio Borini

Zapater

So that's two examples of great movement leading to goals. Far preferable to just bundling it in off one's arse. Bodes well for next season methinks!

[Rigadon]

If another player scored those goals we'd be saying sign him up. It seems, as he's our player the general consensus is that he is ****. He's a promising young player.

I would like to see him loaned out to West Brom or SImilar till Christmas to get a good run of games, We have only ever seen an Injured or a back from injured Borini .....Hopefully get half a season elsewhere and think he could prove his doubters wrong.

I really like Borini and rate him. Had an unfortunate start with injuries etc. but he will come good, I have no doubt about that.

I like him too but have to admit that he's been utter dross in some games (even before the injury). There is something about him though. It just needs to click into place.

With all the players we are supposedly signing, he really is going to struggle to get into the team IMO. Credit to him though, couple of great goals for Italy.

I agree with this. It seems like its just not quite there yet but something will change and it will rain goals for him

it'll be tough for him but those goals can only be good for him and LFC.

[RedReet]

Can anyone liken him to any other PL strikers that have been a success? Not that it makes any difference but I’ve been trying to think of other players to compare him to, but can’t think of any.

Only player I can even think of who he reminds me of is Rossi a bit, although obviously he’s isn’t as effective in front of goal yet.

[danperkins]

Well Darren Bent's technique fairly poor & a bit erratic, but Bent has scored alot of goals, both are willing runners and get in good positions.

IMO Borini's technique is pretty shocking and for the want of a better word.. he can be a bit of of headless chicken. Maybe trying a bit too hard.. similiar to what Robbie Keane was & just didn't happen for him, reminds me of that for some reason.

If he is happy being a squad player for us then so be it, but short of a dramatic improvement/injuries etc i can't see him being played in his obviously preferred central role.

Also playing him in a wide role really IMO does him or LFC no favours.. as he looks woeful. I'd love the lad to be a success but it will be tough for him at the moment for LFC.

Are you meaning to imply you think Bent and Keane are similar?

No

I asked because I thought you probably didn't but it wasn't clear and, frankly, anything is possible on this site.

Yup some gems alright on EST. Keeps it fresh

I just meant IMO Borini is trying too hard to impress, just reminds me of Keane running around like a lunatic, trying so hard that things like technique and composure went right out the window.

He has alot to prove, lots of competition ahead of him too....it's going to be tough for him at LFC.
