I think Barry helps out a little in that area actually.

Robinho hasn't had the chance to play with the new talent we got this season for any length of time due to his injury, so its hard to accept that he shouldn't be afforded his chance like everyone else. He was our top scorer last season and made Ireland a better player with their link up play.
Robinho has brought respect and many new fans to City. Do we just bench him now? That wouldn't be fair at all and if this were to happen I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to leave.
Robinho took alot of abuse in world football from all international sources imaginable when he joined and he always stood up for City. Even before this season started his belief in City was reaffirmed by him stating we can win the title when every one else in the team was saying top 6 is the target.
Benching Robinho when he hasn't put a foot wrong this season seems harsh.
Daviesmcfc said:Bellamy and Tevez are both far better options than Robinho. Robinho will have the odd world class game but then he will be awful for the next five games. He has no consistency and he is awful away from home. With Tevez , Bellamy, Adebayor and Ireland, we don't need his creativity. He shouldbe on the bench when he is fit and I expect a massive increase in work rate for him to get a regular starting spot.
Grand Master Ram Rod said:Totally disagree, Robinho's done nothing for him to deserve him going straight back into the team.Immaculate Pasta said:I've said it before and i'll say it again. If we want to be a top team then benching Robinho for games is not going to help us.
He will be on the bench for his first game back and then if Hughes has any sense which i think he has then he will be back the game after.
The only world class player we have and you don't go benching world class players.
