Robinho isn't a winger, He offers no width, and doesn't get to the byline and cross the ball.
1. If you don't run to the by-line and cross the ball, does that mean you are not a winger?
2. Where did I say that Robbie's natural position is as a 'winger'? I would be grateful if you could provide this. If not, will you please acknowledge this in your next post?
3. How often has he played in the following positions for City: left of a front three; left-wing; and as one of the front two?
4. Mascherano cannot pass or create anything. Does that mean he isn't a 'midfielder'?
Do you judge people by what FM09 says is his 'natural' position ?
What is 'FM09'? Sounds a bit scrotey to me.
BTW how many times have you watched Robbie this season? Not as often as I have.
Robihno has played as a trequartista, off the shoulder of the centre-half, left-wing and on the left of a front three.
All his creativity is when he roams and becomes hard to pick up centrally.
Factually incorrect. He provides creativity out-wide too. Robihno has scored several times coming from the left and has produced assists from that position too.
Hang on.....have you actually seen him play? IMO he is best playing a free-role as part of a forward pairing.
I'm not sure what you watch ? Ribery is a much, much better winger than Robinho, as is Ashley Young.
Thanks for the sig
