Play bellamy wide left to help bridge and swp/tevez on the right with ade and robinho up front......simples
He was our top scorer last season!
im sorry but robinhos finishing is not top notch. hes a good goalscorer and scores some beautys but hes not a top finisher. he falls apart in one on ones with the keeper.
Failsworth_Blue said:Can't wait to have Robinho back. He wasn't on fire during the 3 games he played at the start of the season but he still had a hand in 3 of our 4 goals scored and this break will do him the world of good as he had a long summer playing for Brazil. Against the lesser sides that will sit back and invite you to come at them like Fulham in the cup we need a player like Robinho as he's got the ability to pick a pass better than most if not all our other attacking players and i can't knock Bellamy to be honest as he's been excellent in the last 5 games or so but i'm sure Hughes will find a place for Robbie once fully fit and i'd rather have Robbie in the side than Tevez if it came down to that
TaylorWill07 said:sure its going to be hard to pick our line up when robinho is back, ade is possibly our biggest player, bellemy is in immesne form, swp always give us an option, tevez will get better and is a real worker, ireland is my favorite player, petrov is amazing when on song and then to add on the top of that weve got rsc who will surely be in the mix aswell BUT after saying all this robinho aswell as adebayor HAVE to be the first two names on the team sheet....cue the pick on form team!...he just has to start, people have got very short memories, yes he may drift in and out of games but even when hes not playing his best he makes so much space for other players as he normally as 2 or 3 players marking him. The thing is id 100% start with robinho but hughes should be able to communicate to him and say to him if you are getting kicked out of the game at the likes of stoke wigan and bolton then i will take you off at half time but not because of how your playing.

I do agree with this, he does slow counter attacks down. Hopefully he wont have tracked back anyway and will be half way up the pitch to begin with.
