Fabio Borini’s new position has baffled supporters

Cafu must be watching through his fingers.

Liverpool fans will remember Fabio Borini as former manager Brendan Rodgers' first signing for the Reds. The Italian arrived as a promising forward but Borini struggled on Merseyside, scoring just three goals in 38 appearances before he was sent to Sunderland on loan. He turned that move to the Black Cats into a permanent one in 2015 but also failed to set the world on fire at the Stadium of Light as he netted on 17 occasions in 93 appearances for the club. Still only 26, Borini felt he had been thrown something of a career lifeline when he showed up at AC Milan last summer on loan with an obligation to buy. He has primarily been utilised as a forward for the Serie A side but that changed on Thursday night, in AC Milan's Europa League Round of 16 second leg clash with Arsenal. https://twitter.com/acmilan/status/974355770933501952 Yes, that's Fabio Borini at right back for AC Milan. Fabio. Borini. Right back. AC MILAN!! With Gennaro Gattuso's side chasing a 2-0 deficit thanks to the Gunners' away day victory last week, one would assume that Gattuso felt that he needed as many attackers on the pitch for the 90 minutes in the return leg at the Emirates. But the decision to deploy Borini at full back absolutely baffled viewers watching from home. https://twitter.com/andrewmurdie87/status/974376260251119617 https://twitter.com/blandsteve/status/974380834626195461 https://twitter.com/josh91gardner/status/974381945609179136 https://twitter.com/1AlunWebb/status/974380609329123329 https://twitter.com/jimmyliffen1994/status/974379595590971393 https://twitter.com/Gra1981/status/974379126789410817 https://twitter.com/beardie914/status/974378666007375873 https://twitter.com/RyanIsAWood/status/974378546645946368 https://twitter.com/NathanKelly_/status/974377945027489793 https://twitter.com/thalamus__/status/974365186713931776 https://twitter.com/WhyteKwhyte961/status/974383437523177472
