At least he's a striker mate, and he hasn't always been **** (for other clubs). I'd definitely have him over Borini and Lambert.
Why do you guys not rate Borini. He's hardly ever played for you and last time I saw him in a Liverpool shirt was a very long time ago, when he was played as a right forward which didn't play to his strengths. Granted I've mostly seen him at Sunderland, and without being a goal threat he caused us enough problems to enable others to carve us open.
He has played a fair bit over the past few years and, although he's not crap, he is definitely not good enough. Constantly proves this every time I watch him. He will be good at a team like Sunderland. Having said that I would probably play him over Lambert, or even with him, atm, and would certainly have him over none at all! As was the tragic case midweek.
I'm not saying it's a good front line, far from it. It's just what I consider too be or best options at the minute. Its a truly shocking situation to be in and like we discussed the other day, it's similar to when we had Torres out injured and had to play N'Gog. Sad thing is, I'd play N'Gog ahead of Balotelli, Lambert and Borini!!!
Great he's fairly useless... Please play him and Rooney and not RvP! But your over generous giving us 1..... As "symbolic" and all as the score line is.... To you it seems
