There you go...although I never doubted his goals scoring record in the 1st season with us. Shame it didn't continue though.

He started 6 leauge games this season, you and a lot of other people are going on like he played for most of the season. 6 leauge games is hardly enough to make a judgement on how a players season has gone. 6 games in and there was a thread on here with of people saying they're not sure what Tevez brings to the team, you can not make judgements on players after they have played 6 games, 3 of them after a spell out with an injury

Bellamy only played 8 games and I'm sure you passed a judgement on him at some point during his first 6 months here.

Of course you can pass a judgement on his performances in individual games but you can't simply say that he had a terrible season on the basis of 6 games as many people seem to say

That's fair enough....however, his dip in form started way before last season. Didn't he start to go missing close to Christmas in his first season, which then lead to about 15 games without a goal...ended with the goal against Everton away I believe...but he pretty much carried on with the barren spell and dip in form into the next season. So in reality he had about a dozen really good games for City and in the rest he was pretty anonymous.

Do you mean his form when he was up on a rape charge, and soon as it got dropped his form came back, starting against wba at home.

You're correct in that from the Blackburn game at the back end of December he didn't score for i think it was close to 4 months before he scored against West Brom at home and he then went on to score in 3 successive leauge matches just before the season ended so yes he had a spell of games where he didn't score but he ended the season well and i was optimistic that he would do well this season however he only started 2 leauge games before getting injured and being out for close to 3 months

Aaaah, the form that he continued into the next season you mean ?? ha

Whatever, there's always gonna be some excuse. Fans getting on his back, rape charge, Elano going, etc, etc,.

So IF he does come back next season then he really has no excuses.

Robinho is one of the best in the world when he has the freedom to play how he wants and where he likes. Any manager that expects Robinho to track back and make tackles is a fucking idiot that has no faith in he ability of his players whose job it is to do those tasks.

Im sick to death of this culture that attacking players are supposed to do the dirty jobs. I swear to god only 5 years ago flair players were there to do the glamour jobs, splitting defences in half, pulling defenders all over the place and scoring and assisting. Now they are expected to be master of all trades.

Robinho should be in this team and playing centrally behind our strikers. Let Tevez run back. If nine of our outfield players cant defend as a unit then we really are inept. We play with two, sometimes three holding midfielders as well as four defenders. Add the goalie on top and thats eight of our first team geared towards defending and yet we still expect players like Robbie to be back there. Its bullshit, inept, negative tactics.

i dont see anyone on here moaning when Bridge isnt pulling off stepovers, cutting inside and dragging opposition defenders across the box.

First sensible post i've read on this topic

*slow clap*

The problem is that we don't have the quality in the rest of the team to afford him this freedom...
