Borriello is way more useful than Pippo when already playing Pato.

Thing is, playing Pato as striker means wasting his great speed and dribble.
He's a kickass finisher too, but he can do more damage from behind, while Bori/Hunter are decent finishers and bad runners.
Pato's dribbling is not THAT amazing. Pato's pace and runs are, and that makes him one hell of a dangerous striker, also because he shoots very well (and he can head as well). Pato creates most damage as a striker, BUT I would also give him the freedom to go wide. I want to see movement up front from Pato, Borriello and the AM. I would start this team against Arsenal:
Pato, Borriello
Verdi
Ambrosini, Pirlo, Flamini
Antonini, Nesta, Yepes, Papastathopoulos
Abbiati
Not sure about who to start as RB and CB. I didn't watch last game, but Yepes did well I heard? Also I would like to see how Papastathopoulos plays as RB for us.
