Get Behind Robinho

[Krieng_Thai OSC]

First goal, he ran beautifully cut in, a clever move then good pass to Patrov
Not bad at all

He was exceptionally poor today, his touch was rotten, still no excuse for the treatment he got from the cretinous 'fans'.

Re: I have to get this out of the way..

Robinho was shit today, I'm not gonna' come on and deny what's evidently so true. But the way our fans turned on him was disgusting.

Barring Tevez and Bellamy none of our forwards really chase the ball down with a sprint (which they should in some situations) but regardless only Tevez and Bellamy really do it. So why do other players get away with it, but when Robinho does it, people start to scream abuse.

I was in the South Stand today and it just became horrible, everytime he didn't sprint after dead balls, people screaming 'YOU'RE FUCKING SHIT ROBINHO, FUCK OFF'

The lad is clearly low on confidence probably due to the fact that he's only recently got back fully from his injury. And the last thing he needs is to be told he's shit, at this point, if he were shit, I probably wouldn'ta made this thread, but he isn't, which he's proven to us before.

The people that genuinally think Robinho is a poor player really don't know alot about football, he's one the best players the club's ever seen, and he's off form, why don't we try getting behind him? Can't believe there were boo's when he went off.

Rant over, the tin hat is firmly, securely, on my head.

Good post.

The price tag is weighing heavily I think. Not with Robinho, but the fans.

Can understand it in a way...we know what he is capable of and we want to see it, but the years of patience have led to an impatience that is now getting desperate.

I do hope he proves the doubters wrong as he IS a great player. Some compared him to Kinkladze and said Gio was better. No he wasn't. And that is my point.....that we haven't seen the best of him. Yet.

That's the thing, to be fair he scored 14 league goals last year? And he was pretty average all season by his standards, he's a player I was very interested in during his Madrid days, and he has lots to offer, so he had a bad game, I bet Tevez isn't turned on that quickly when he has a bad game. Robinho's off form, nothing more, I'm sure someone will claim there is some kinda conspiracy, like he's playing shit on purpose cus' he wants to go Chelsea and he's just wrecking us first.

Yes, he's been poor for a while, can't help with idiots constantly slagging him off at EVERY opportunity, he will come back and prove you wrong. And then you'll clap him like nothing happened.

I will never boo a City player, but it bugs me when people on these forums constantly defend him.

He was shocking today. The mis-control just before his substitution summed his performance today.

You cannot live off last seasons performances forever; there has to come a time when you say that he is just not for the Premier League.

You can't just bring him in for home games and you can't have him on the bench.

IMHO, he has to go

Without doubt, he is talented, but he is just not for the Premier League.

This was about his 6th start this season (with a lengthy layoff inbetween) Hardly "forever"...

robinho is a spoilt child and always suits himself,he has been like that at every club,always has and always will. i think we should sell him while we can and get that fat waster garry cook off-loaded too!!!!!!!!!! any time the club is involved in a transfer or press confrence he always makes the club look shit,he must be vry good at bluffing at his job

 

[Matt Diablo]

exactly Elanjo, it really is staggerin the level of foolishness

 

[Bilboblue]

am I alone in thinking he wasn't as bad as some are making out?
let's give the bloke a chance, he is obviously rusty.
Thought he got into some good positions today, few more games under his belt and he will come good.
