Can't wait to see the back of both Borini and Balotelli in the summer.

Just out of interest why hasn't Boroni been given a decent run in the team. I saw him when he was on loan a few times for Sunderland and he looked pretty good for them.

He has to be better than Lambert.

Borini's not in future plans and obviously not done enough in training or his appearances to have fought for his place and won.

Credit to the lad for trying to fight for his place, but ultimately it just cost us money and took up a striker slot.

Borini is the Italian Nugent.

Borini should have played more this season IMO.

He lacks quality but he runs hard and has a good mentality.

Why we chose to bring Balo on yesterday and not Borini, who has both scored against Villa, AND scored at Wembley last year, is beyond me.

He should have been playing borini and balo as a pair the whole time balo was up top alone

Hindsight

Balo should be playing in Qatar.

Thing with that is it means we don't have our best players on the pitch.

Borini scores his first PL against Villa in January and not started a game since. In fact he's made 3 sub appearances since. I'm not his biggest fan but he has been poorly treated just like Markovic who in has last 6 appearence has been subbed at half in 4 games.

Borini did well in that game and should have been given the chance I agree. Disagree on Markovic though, BR has shown a lot in faith in him and he's been rubbish most the season to be honest, he had 2-3 good games in January and that's it. Very dissapointing signing.

I don't see anything wrong with subbing players if they are bilge but the Borini treatment is just weird.

He was decent against Sunderland in the game before Villa as well. Missed a good chance in that game, scored in the next game, then discarded apart from in times of desperation.

I don't really get it. He isn't the long term answer but you have to make the most of what you have and we have struggled for goals all season.

My point regarding Markovic is that he plays out of position and is the managers whipping boy when things are going bad. It's humiliating for a player to be subbed at half time and they would rather come off bench than be the whipping boy. This will do his confidence no favours.

Johnson should be starting ahead of him anyway.

does anyone think Moreno would be a better right sided attacker .....

his position and his defensive play (save for that great last ditch tackle) are a bit dodgy ..but going forward he reminds me of riise a little bit .....

or am i talking ballacks

Moreno is pretty bad going forward. No end product. Just industry.

think so kash ..

I thought he looked alright ...scored a belter against spurs ..

its his positioning defensively that scares me

When Moreno goes forward I don't even get excited because he will either over hit the ball or it will fail to beat the first defender.

I see lots of ability in Moreno but his crossing has been abysmal, it often ends up with the other team countering us with Many of our player strandered up the field. He also makes costly errors of judgement at crucial times in the game.

One of the big failures this season after looking so promising against Spurs. I guess we have missed Flanno badly in that way. He was very solid.

In the end I still think Moreno could go on and be a good player for us.
