The point is not about the players age (he did have over 100 games in those first two years), it is about the need to become acclimatized to the league (both style and speed of play).
Look at Drogba, he had the same type of season that Robbie is having right now in his first year, and at the time Chelsea was a much more settled and experienced team in comparison to us now. There are numerous examples of players needing time to adjust to the league and then "coming good", even though I believe Robbie has had a pretty solid season.
