Toni would have done a lot better.

I'd like to know how he gets starts though. He receives possession, and either runs back towards our goal for 5-10 yards and passes back, or theatrically dives.

My guess is he was supposed to hold and win the balls while Milan's attacking, much like hardworking Pepe but with more forward role. That early stupid goal however ruined the game, Milan were either parking the bus or playing with little risk and he's rendered useless.

We should do a Borriello series of dives. A limited edition collection in Juventus gear since he wont be here next season, and if he is, then Marrotta wont.

Unfortunately, I think Conte has bought into his classic CF build. He thought a good way to counter Milan's d would be with a classic centre forward, but what he didn't realise is he sent in a corner flag instead of a centre forward.
I dunno about that. Silva's not exactly out of form, and the guy loves playing against "classic CF" types. This clearly wasn't the game for Borriello (not that there is ever a game for him, unless it's in Serie C), but rather a tricky, skillful attacker. Vucinic or Del Piero.

For the latter, can you imagine the fucking field day he would have had drawing fouls off Mexes?

Even if he showed some signs of good connections with Quagliarella last week against Catania, it wasn't enough that he was to be given a starting place.

I don't think it was a game for him either.
However, mexes should have got a red for punching him - I bet he gets away with that!
