walking on egg shells with robinho

[forevermancity]

play him in every game possible

if we drop him every away game he will NEVER learn to play away, this is his year along with micah and NDJ i think

Drop him in away games? Allegedly that was his own doing.

Drop Robinho for the game against Blackburn? He's our best player and should be starting, the last away game he played for us in the leauge away at Everton he was outstanding and shown us all what he's capable of away from home

He was poor away from home last season but we didn't keep the ball well at all last season away from home nor did get stuck in and win the ball enough and if we don't win the ball and keep possesion people like Robinho aren't going to have good games

This season we've got NDJ from the start and Gareth Barry so we should be able to win the ball in the middle of the park a lot better than we did last season and in Adebayor we'll actually have a player who can hold the ball up and keep the ball which we didn't have up front last season so Robbie will surely benefit from the additions and i expect him to have much better games away from home than he did last season

don't play Robby, FFS I've heard it all now! What's are the latest odds for Robby being highest Prem scorer nxt season, I'm not a betting man but this one has got to have a good return.... he will be lethal with the right players round him!

Brilliant post! Very well articulated and excellent points.

You don't drop a player of this standard.

Never watched La Ligue so I knew f**k all about Robinho when we signed him .... I typed robinho into youtube and got this.
Even taking into account the Samaras factor ie: someone who looks good in a video

I knew we'd signed the dogs bollocks

Lets clear one thing up, last season we were poor away from home. Its not Robinho was poor, or Elano was poor, or Dunne was poor, or Micah was poor. WE WERE FUCKING SHIT.

Singling out players to protect shoddy team displays isnt the way to go. Last season it was two easy for teams to double mark Robinho out of games because we had no massive threat playing in the lone striker position. This season teams wont be able to afford to double mark him.

He blossomed at home because we played more attacking players and so there were more threats for opposing defences to worry about. Ive made this point before, if he was shit last season then i cant fucking wait to see him playing well!!

Your right mate, singling out players is not the way to explain poor team performance, lets hope all the players do well this season I hate it when we pick on individuals except for TBH!!! even he could do well in the right team lol.

I predict Robinho will be a one-man riot this season, he'll fully come out on his own. 20+ or even 25+ goals wouldn't surprise me!
It was very evident last season that only Superman was on his wave-lenght, but this season he'll have Barry, Ade, Tevez AND superman around him.
If you look at some of the mind blowing stuff he did for Real Madrid we've not even seen 50% of his natural technical and genius footballer mind!
But MH have to give him absolute freedom, don't give him any instructions at all just let him do what he does best. If he wants to stay deep in the centre for 10 minutes then let him because he'll have a bloody good reason for it. If he wants to drift left and right then let him. If he wants to do 50 nut-megs and back flips then just let him!

To summarize he's the most talented technically giften player in the EPL by a country mile!

Also, a little prediction: perhaps not so much this season but in the future I can see an immense link up with Robbie and Weiss. Capable of destroying teams!

great statement, but there were little signs there for me that he was getting used to the bustle of the prem away games and he started to look the part when we did everton over? he has got to play some part in every away game or he will not develop as a force in the premiership, it took ronaldo 3 years to develop in the prem, so its do or die for our little gem this season and i know which way im backing ?
