to all those who think robbi is shit as well, look at how little we created today and you'll see the difference he makes. people keep getting on his back when he doesn't score but fail to relise how many chances the man creates even on his rare off days

Agree with the second bit, but the 1st no, because in the second half Bellamy was one of the most creative. And so many times iv have heard away from home ''Robinho will turn it on today'' and he doesn't, bellamy is better defensively too. Robinho maybe should of come on for the last 20mins, but the game wasn't crying out for him. As he still seems to lack away from home, good move by Hughes in my opinion. We won at the end of the day, this season especially 1-0, 10-0 i couldn't care less.
Come on city!!

Messi didn't play for Barca so he could be rested for international duty (he asked to be). I think it's pretty safe to assume that it's the same for Robinho (or maybe he had a little knick).
What I don't get it why Petrov didn't start...I like Bellamy off the bench in the last 20 minutes to play wing, and close down the opposing defense when we're holding onto a lead...but he'd not a 90 winger by any means.
