I am hearing more and more people Complaining about Robbie everyday be it and the ground, in the papers, on this website and i just can't seem to understand why.
Whilst i appreciate everyone is entitled to their opinion i would have hoped that we could have given Robbie the support he deserves instead of getting on his back at every opportunity! I was at the UEFA cup game last week and was astonished to hear people Boo Robbie when he gave away possession. Admitantly he didn't have his best game ever in terms of keeping possession but he created bag fulls of chances and helped create the first goal.
I think most people would admit Robbie is the best player City have ever had play at the club and yet a small section of City fans are still not happy. He is arguably one of the best players in the world, a house hold name, and he is getting Boo'd and criticised continually. For god sake he is the premierships 4th top scorer he can't be that bad!
+1 to that. The abuse he is getting from certain sections of the fans is pathetic and only serves to fuel the media's frenzy in their rush to criticise him. We win at home as a team and we lose away as a team. Ireland and SWP were both shocking yesterday and more culpable than Robinho in us failing to score IMO but they don't deserve abuse either.
IMO some 'fans' are very simple-minded and basically cannot handle the fact that not every single player goes charging around the pitch like a headless chicken. It is not Robinho's job to constantly track back and win tackles. He is in the side because he is capable of doing things that no other player in the squad can dream of. He gets enough unwarranted abuse from the tabloid media who have an agenda of wanting to continually criticise him and the club because they can't stand the fact that we are now loaded, it worries me that some of our fans want to support them in this quest.
