Have I missed something? Borini has been just ok. His work ethic has been better than Bolettli but that's all! Toure played last night and his work ethic was the best from any player all season. Kinda odd comparing a strikers work ethic rather than comparing his goals!
Balotelli has played nearly every game since he signed, Borini has started two games. If Rodgers wants to play a pressing game then we need a workaholic up front, Borini may lack the natural ability but his running off the ball will open up space for others, Balotelli offers nothing to the team which is why we do and always will struggle with him up front on his own.
