Fabio Borini

[Trumo]

You think he'll score another goal? That's optimistic.

 

As I was saying...

[moof]

Hopefully he gets a bit of confidence from that goal and chips in with a few more in the last couple of games

[RedKnight]

As I was saying...

 

How dare you use my own snarky one-liner against me!

[DooooodekNo5]

Its strange with Borini in the sense it seems a fair few people want him to fail, why the fuck would anyone want that?

 

His goal today was class and showed a bit of what hes about, great movement to peel off and a nice finish and a bit of passion, from the little we've seen of him he looks purely a penalty box player, not much use anywhere else but there, hes no wide forward, the problem for him is the players that will be ahead of him in that position.

 

Sometimes it doesn't work out in a players first season and its not like hes been fit the whole time stinking the place out, theres been better more established/experienced players than Borini who have struggled in their first seasons in this league and played a lot more games in doing so.

 

We should give him a bit of slack, theres definately something there with him, even if it does go tits up we still get 6-8 mill back for him from Italy so its not really that bad.

[JermainePennant]

Borini has not had a run of games in his best position for us and has been out most of the season.From what I have seen he has excellent movement in the box and is always on for the pass for a goal,he also works hard and seems to have a good attitude.

 

He could be a great poacher for years or an average hard working striker but I would not be able to predict from the little I've seen.

[Gym Beglin]

He's ace. Was in the Italian squad for the euros as well, they don't tend to get strikers wrong.

 

Ancelotti has always rated him highly as well.

 

Two very good reasons to expect good things.

 

 

People want him to fail because they want Rodgers to fail, he was his flagship signing.

It is too early to tell.

 

He will certainly benefit from Luis' ban.

[VladimirIlyich]

Any opinion will depend on whether or not he breaks again.

[Nightcat]

As I said when we signed him, I'd be happy if he scored 5-6 goals in his first season and eventually become a 10-11 goal per season striker.

[Tony Moanero]

Brendan Rodgers > Nightcat

[Jonjo Baldy]

Hope he keeps him, Fabio needs a good season injury free and i think he'll be a decent 10-15 goals player.

We say this about everybody we suspect is injury prone and they usually get injured again.

 

Its this problem which i expect to happen again and not give us a chance to fully assess his ability.

[Ranxerox]

anyone know his injury history prior to us? Is this year just unlucky or part of a pattern?

He had a bit of a poor run before he joined us from Roma too,i believe.

[Strontium]

That's not really fair, is it. He was sold to the fans by the manager as someone who could come in and make an instant impact, which he didn't really do.

 

Rodgers obviously learnt his lesson as in the last window he went out and signed two players, Sturridge and Coutinho, who have hit the ground running and been brilliant from the first minute in a red shirt.

[moof]

He had one quite bad one with Roma but he's been relatively injury free apart from that, as far as I'm aware.

[DanDanShaw]

His movement is excellent.

[A_S]

Funny that he is being criticised by some for his trademark celebration that was happening long before Suarez took a chomp at Ivanovic. Much like Suarez kissing his wrist after the Mansfield non-handball incident.

 

Fucking journos. I wonder if they feel as stupid as they look once they realise that a whole minute's research would show that these celebrations aren't making fun of cheating etc, but rather just what the player does each and every time he scores. Wankers.

[the walsh]

he will be a squad player for me who might chip in with 10 goals a season

[The Golden Eel]

Was gutted to see him score the other day, the cunt.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Fine goal, this - positioning, control, composure, technique and words like that.

[scudger99]

Watching the en masse celebration to his goal, I couldn't help thinking "for fucks sake watch what you're doing with him - he's brittle."

But his first couple of touches were class. There's nowt wrong with the finish either. Hopefully that's a sign of things to come.

[Guest LFD]

Looks like Borini will be the lone striker today.

 

Very interested to see how he does as for me the weakest part of his game is the ability to hold up the ball.

 

If he can;t do that I don't see him having a future at LFC, as if Suarez and Sturridge both get injured next season, we'll need a third choice striker who can lead the line.

 

He's got the movement, he can finish, but can he lead the line?!  

[Adebisi]

Fucking Borini lad. 

[Phoenix]

Just scored hahah
