Robinho is great player. You have to keep him in form with regular football. Allegri made a mistake during the season, also considering Robinho started with 2 months injury to this season. When he returned, Allegri was always playing Cassano, then Cassano is injured. Then he was always playing Pato. we all remember that Robinho was entering for Pato at 70-75 mins.
Above all, Robinho, Boateng and İbrahimovic trio works the best. ibra needs a dynamic and moveable player around him like Robinho, when you have ibra and Boateng, who are damn strong, you need a player like Robinho, mobile and dynamic. He is very strong on dribbling and one on one positions. He tracks backs, he works hard. But he finished bad. The same Robinho scored 2 goals vs Arsenal.
Second goal was great. Off course he misses great chances vs Cagliari and Barcelona. Bad times can happen to everyone...
ibra-Pato partnership doesnt work. Our team defence is less strong with Pato as he doesnt track back.
Pato did nothing this season, but we are at the top of the table. Above all, Pato is always injured. maybe you didnt notice but he just scored 1 goal in Serie A.
Pato got 13 injuries since 2010 season. name me one player who injures as much as Pato.
The same Robinho scored 14 goals last season. same as Pato, who is great finisher.
Robinho is very important to Milan both tactically and tecniqually. Whoever say that Milan should sell him for 20 m euros, knows nothing about football and Milan. Sorry.
Yes you're totally correct in this post. Only thing where I disagree is your inference that Pato doesn't track back. He's supposed to play close to goal and Ibra is supposed to track back.. The problem is that Ibrahimovic is not active and never tracks back. Pato+Ibra is too static, and Ibra (who becomes the SS) never really moves. The odd thing is that Ibra played very well in Inter with Static Penalty Box Strikers (Cruz & Adriano). However, with Pato it doesn't work, he's injured all the time, and we have other really good strikers now ready to pick up the slack. After a few months on the sidelines, I now agree Pato should be sold off in June to the highest bidder.
