How the fook does Robinho warrant a mark of five in his MEN ratings today.
I'm starting to become right pissed off at the amount of people who have it in for Robbie in recent weeks and there now appears to be a real agenda to force this boy out.
People need to start asking themselves why the 'buzz' word is to stick the knife into him at every opportunity.
Yesterday, I really felt for him, he ran himself into the ground and tracked back and covered Zab time and again.
It's clear he was desperate to get on the scoresheet and I would suggest he is trying TOO hard at the mo.
Chris Bailey and other papers this morn again questioned his desire, one thing definitely on show on Sunday.
This is a young kid who has scored 12 goals in his first season - three goals behind Ronaldo (who scored six in his first year) in the most physical league in the world.
Robbie doesn't exactly possess the frame (yet) to totally compete and make the progression he wants more than anyone else.
The only thing which I can see being thrown at him is his price tag - something out of his control - as are his wages. Nobody can say he hasn't proved a better buy than Berbatov.
I finally cracked yesterday when a guy behind spent the entire game laying in to him - telling him he was shit ' the worst player ever to pull on a blue shirt'
Anyone who thinks the fans of Manure, Chelsea, Liverpool, media, are slagging him off because they can see he is holding poor old City back and just want the best for us are deluded.
It is done because Robbie being at City has put noses out of joint and he reprsents our challenge to the old guard.
Now I fear a significant minority of blues are also deluded.
Ask themselves how we will be perceived by others (included those in media who already take delight in doing us down) if Robbie is forced out - and to other players we are trying to sign.
Little old City, not big enough to keep a player like Robinho etc etc.
I told him to shut it and realise how lucky he was to see such a world class talent in a City shirt - Brazil's number ten - and how he'd rather have Ricky Holden running down the wing like the good old days.
Imagine what Robbie will be like when he has seriously good players around him.
In a Manure, or any other top four team, he'd have had 20 goals already.
All I hope is my fellow blues will put an arm around this kid, before it's too late to realise how much of a good thing we were actually on to.
