Didn't he also move himself out of the way of smicer's shot?Milan Baros gets a free pass from me for being the unsung hero of our equaliser in Istanbul. First of all it was his lovely little dink pass which put Stevie through on that run. Then, when Dida saved Xabi's peno Nesta tried to muscle his way past Baros to get into the area. Baros stood his ground and delayed Nesta just that vital second or two, otherwise Nesta gets to the ball before Xabi does and clears it.
And yes, whatever else you think of him, he was clearly a better player than Borini thecross-eyedcaged lion.

Quiffer!He also expertly moved out of the way of Smicer's shot.
Wait, didn't he move out of the way of Smicer's shot, in an expert manner?Quiffer!

I was at the game at Bolton when he scored his first two goals for us. He was fast, tenacious and direct, which at the time, in Houllier's very slow and cautious side, seemed like a really exciting thing. Pity he never seemed to be coached after that to look up and improve his positioning, but, yes, he was miles better than Borini will ever be.
We refused loansWhy wasn't he loaned out last year? In January it was obvious we would rather play without strikers than have him in the squad
