I see your thought process mate but Borini simply doesn't scare defences, he runs hard, works hard and is an intelligent player but he can't take anyone on, he isn't a great threat with long shots, he just doesn't offer enough threat, he's workmanlike. Playing Borini means leaving a better player out of the side.
For me there are two options, play Sterling up there with Balo or stick Stevie back in the hole and see what he can do there.
Good points well made mate, I never gave it enough thought if I'm honest, but you're right in that we would have something missing by playing Fabio,
I noticed Can being mentioned I'm not sure though if he'd be match fit enough yet, or Allen for that matter, however if it means we can push Stevie forward for an hour, then that's what should have happen, then adjust for the last 30, by then we should be home and hosed,
