I think when people are refering to he's useless(at least in my case) is that he is useless in our current system. It is obvious our team performs best with 433. And you like it or not, think i make sense or not he stil doesn't have place in this system. It's no disrispect it just simple logic. He can't play on the wing, he can't play in the center. So in order to make use of him we need to change the whole system we play, and I don't think he is good enough anymore or offers enough to do that.
You accuse others of not watching our games, yet if you did yourself (which I'm sure you did but overlooking it atm) , you'd know that we played more than handfull of our recent games in any formation but 4-3-3. In fact we just switched back due to our cbs absence.
But even in 4-3-3, you say Borriello is crap, but more fit to the role. let me guess, it's because of his physical presence, isn't it? that he could challenge for crosses his way and blah blah..
Other than a sad, fluffed shot at abbiati, tell me when he managed to attack the opposition goal in anyform? Ironically, even DP got a header hitting the post in a match.
His understanding with Vucinic is far more beneficial than Borris playing the target man.
No matter how you want to look at it Raz, DP is still certainly not useless, and to not take anything away from our strikers (including fckn Borriello) unfortunately Conte is yet to partner them properly and used them against right opponents (funny but sadly it's a weekly decision becuase our strikers are limited in their own way)
