QUOTE (dst @ Nov 10 2008, 04:20 PM)  In my opinion Borriello, together with Gattuso were absolutely the best players on the field for us last night. And I'm not saying either of them was great but they were trying while the rest of the team (apart from Flamini) thought they would win by walking... and yes Borriello missed all those chances but he got himself into a position to be able to take them... never did he stand immobile waiting for the ball to come to his feet. He was involved in all our attacking plays and he even set up Kaka to a one-on-one... Excuse me, but I'd rather see my players go down fighting than win by pure luck while not caring!

QUOTE (zdrossoneri @ Nov 10 2008, 01:32 PM) And Borriello... hope I'm wrong but he's turning out what I expected the day we re-signed him. I said he wouldn't do anything better than Gila, etc. but his first performances really made me eat my words. and now I see he's becoming that Borriello again... the one that tries a lot but remains unsuccessful at the end of the day. hope I'm wrong about all this though... +1.

I sort of agree with both zd and dst on this one. Did Boreillo fight hard and do everything he can to win the ball and play off of Kaka and Dinho? Yes he did, he plays a role that none of our other strikers are able to.
But do I think he has the Gila sindrome? Yes I do, that is what I thought from the moment we signed him, I like zd was one of the few on here who didn't really want him back. And I always thought that he is a great player for the smaller teams but will struggle for the bigger club. Do I think he deserves the chance to get more integrated into the team and hope for the nerves to be gone and he will start finishing? Yes he does.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Do I think he suffers from Gila sindrome? No. Because it's syndrome. |

Borriello seems much more cocky to me and I don't think he has any such syndrome. It was just an awful day for him in terms of finishing.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Having said that, his record isn't exactly awe-inspiring anyway particularly when he you consider the position he plays in is an all out striker (not forward or support). Take a look at his season at Reggina, 2 goals in 29 matches, wonder why they kept playing him. His job is to score goals. Period. → Triestina (loan) 9 (1) → Treviso (loan) 27 (10) Milan 17 (1) → Empoli (loan) 12 (1) → Reggina (loan) 29 (2) → Sampdoria (loan) 11 (2) → Treviso (loan) 20 (5) Genoa (co-ownership) 35 (19) Milan 7 (1) Cocky he is, dst, what with his positive drug test the last time he was at Milan! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Anyway, I hope we play two strikers from now on. Wishful thinking, I know, but I don't want to have any excuses once the season is over. For Borriello, that is. Good luck to him. |

But Brocchi never had that luxury... he always tried his best but we all said he was crap, because he did not have much talent. how come no one didn't want him? The effort Borriello puts is much appreciated as it shows he cares about this shirt. but let's face it, he is a target man and he's 26. he's not in learning process like Pato is. he has enough experience and needs to bury balls into the net more than this. like he himself said, scoring these chances was a piece of cake when he was with Genoa but now he misses some of them. I'm afraid he too suffers from 'pressure of playing for big club' syndrome... Just my honest two cents. I'm not criticizing him at all. everyone may play badly every now and then. I'll start to worry if this continues though. This post has been edited by zdrossoneri: Nov 10 2008, 06:48 PM |

I hope it doesn't. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) We need a solid finisher at the top of our attack.

The 'Gila sindrome' is a condition that is diagnosed over a longer period of time than just a handful of games We'll know by Christmas, hopefully. Enough time for him till then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) If he suffers from it, maybe Pato should play ahead of him when we play a lone striker formation. |
