Comments on: What has Robinho done at Manchester City to get so ‘tired’? http://soccerlens.com/what-has-robinho-done-at-manchester-city-to-get-so-tired/26483/ Football News Sat, 26 May 2012 13:33:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Ahmed Bilal http://soccerlens.com/what-has-robinho-done-at-manchester-city-to-get-so-tired/26483/#comment-114122 Ahmed Bilal Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:19:32 +0000 http://soccerlens.com/?p=26483#comment-114122 Tim Vickery mentioned in his column that he heard Brazilian journos comment that Robinho is more used to playing in support of other star players as opposed to taking on all the responsibility himself, and that has had an affect on him in away games and as the season has worn on. Makes sense - he had a star studded cast at Madrid to work with and if his temperament is anything to go by, he's not someone who is comfortable with too much stress placed on him, especially if no one else in the team is doing much either.

The 11 players you saw yesterday were close to the 11 players that have started every single match. I know you guys have had a few European games to play, but Danny Murphy (for example) has played 36 games this season (including cup matches) without a break. Not bad for a 32 year old is it? I feel sorry for the young Robinho if he's knackered after 33 games (including Europe)! Fulham’s team have remained pretty much unchanged throughout the entire season.

Its not just an attack on Man City, lots of players complain of being too tired, to me this doesnt make sense. These athletes have dieticians physios personal trainers and hardly travel economy class after playing a game nearly all players have the next day off to recover and it just strikes me as odd that a young man at the peak of physical fitness cant play more than 90 minutes of football a week.

maybe they should be greatful that a mercurial talent such as robinho is gracing the english game… or would they rather have it flooded with average english players with poor technique?

A goal every other game playing from midfield is not ok... it's brilliant. As for 'only played 70 minutes of Brazils recent 3-0 victory'. It wasn't exactly a trip down the M6 was it?
