What did Robbie do wrong exactly?

[Prodigal Son]

Fair point, the problem is you can't have Robinho and Tevez in the same team and it be effective for the team, either Tevez goes on the left wing and struggles or Robbie plays on the left wing and struggles.

If Craig had been available Robbie wouldn't have played yesterday, but I still don't think he did that badly. It wasn't Hughes fault that Mr Clattenburg screwed up on Saturday.

You can have Tevez and Robinho in the team if you actually know what formation system you are actually playing in the first place.

I'd say you can't have him in the team if you also have Ireland, De Jong and Barry in there and yet still manage to play with one up front despite everybody else being a forward.

a) Robinho isnt a left winger, he's a behind the striker player.

b) Tevez cost £47m, Ade £25m, neither of them got us anything out of last night either.

Adebayor was £22m and Tevez was £25.5m.

Stop making stuff up, enough shit going on as it is.

No they weren't.

No they weren't.

And Lee Bradbury was 6 million, who gives a fuck, it's not our money. Those days are long gone.

Look, time and time again, the same thing comes up.

For £32 million, you expect a bloke to be able to impose himself on the game now and again but he never does. The fact of the matter is, if the team is struggling, he struggles with it. He cannot drag us out of a hole.

In the long and glorious history of football, Robinho is just about the biggest flat-track bully of them all. Great in home games against poor opposition but it's like playing with ten men against anyone decent or anyone away from home.

If anyone believes that Robinho is a better all round player for Manchester City than the likes of Craig Bellamy, then they are sorely mistaken.

Stop looking at his fee and the fact that he plays for Brazil. If someone like Bellamy put in the exact performances that Robinho does he would be getting a right slagging off and rightfully so.

Sad but oh so true

A waste of money cant or wont play away from home great player but sadly to much of a lightweight for the prem no hart same as crocky and addy or no pride i could not be paid that amount of money and not feel ashamed

Bellamy contributes more to the team simple as that. Not a case of whos the better player but bellamy is a big team player. Robinho not.

Very true, this is where i think Hughes has slipped up. Im not a Hughes outer btw still very much want him to keep his job but it was like he was playing football manager. I'll buy Tevez adebayor santa cruz whilst having Bellamy and Robinho at my disposal but not having a clue where to fit all these players. Good strength in depth but they wont want to sit around on the bench.

i dont undestand this relentless pursuit of slagging off a top city player, lets face it they were all shit last night.
Lets at least 'rotate the hate'

Here goes:

De Jong what a useless twat, not upto the pace in the PL, poor on the ball and couldnt break up a 5 yr olds party in midfield, didnt even wave to our supporters when he came off, shit attitude.

Next ;)

i dont blame robinho in the slightest. remember years back when kinky was our best player and in every game our approach play went through him cos everyone else was shite, well here we are again.

anyone who thinks that stevie ireland is having a good season is mistaken, he's not half the player he was last year. Adebayor isn't as effective as he was at the start of the season and now people are starting understand why arsenal fans were laughing when 25million quid came their way for him.

we're a long way off being the finished article and in fact we'll need to spend another 200million quid to become a top ten side.

I'm afraid the buck has to stop with mark hughes. if a manager cant get a team together to beat burnley birmingham hull fulham (after being 2-0 up) and bolton then i'm afraid its time to fuck off.

spurs bought the same amount of players as we did through the summer and last january window and they look twice the team that we are and it was assembled for about a tenth of the price we spent.

i'm so fed up today, i honestly cant see it getting any better against sunderland at the weekend.

merry xmas and a happy new year mooners once again the prick in charge at city has made it a fucking miserable one..

what a crock of shit

 

[mike channon´s windmill]

In my mind both parties have to except thier fair share of the blame - it simply ISN´T black and white , good cop, bad cop Hughes right , Robby wrong - both sides have to grow up - Robbies attitude stinks at times and Les has to stop farting about with systems and personnel and put sides out there to WIN matches not trying to play some form of total football which looks nice but is totally ineffective

Im more arsed about performance on the pitch than off the field antics....and he was shit and didn't help Sylvinho out in the slightest.

Yes , that's about it ....... i expect a bit more from a £32 million player than what we saw last night ....... and to be honest i think he expects more of himself ....... i think i heard his name mentioned twice before he left the field .

Other than his efforts in our win at Everton last season , i'm really struggling to think of even ONE more decent performance from him on our travels.
