That picture shows him running from exactly the same position he's often found in now. Barry covers for him when he goes forward so there's absolutely nothing stopping him from making the same runs now but thre's no guarantee he'll get the ball because a) Robinho does that pass better than most in the world & hasn't been playing & b) we have so many other options this season that we didn't have last. There'd be two or three other players sprinting forward now, possibly getting there before him.
The other thing to take into account is; he HAS made that run & received the ball on numerous occasions this season but cocked it up when he's got there, neither shooting or passing accurately. A couple of nice victories with a goal or two for him should sort that out.
My verdict is; let him get on with it. Play him when he's on top form or against oppo that suits his game, rest him when he's not on form or against oppo that suits someone else's talents better, same as with every other player.
