You'll find that Ireland and Robinho are doing different jobs to last season, and you'll also find that both players have been directly involved in most the goals we have scored this season, maybe not getting the assist but by making space, or getting the pass before the assist.
Also you'll note that in the first half SWP gave the ball away or just ran into players and was our most ineffective player. However, after half time he became our most effective player as space started to open up. Adebayor didn't do much attacking wise but was superb at been the link play striker and bringing others into play with lay offs and short passes.
With a team of stars the performances of each ebbs and flows during the match.
We are just use to seeing one or two stars in our team try and perform for 90mins. Now we have the luxury of seeing 7 or 8 of them turn it on for little periods during games.

One of his best ever performances as a member of the TEAM imo & certainly his best away from home, against a fully committed fit, athletic side.
I think he was more of a City player last night rather than just playing for his own enjoyment & his forward runs were full of energy & invention. Would've scored a great goal but for the fat linesman.

Does anybody else agree? Pretty much every pass he made was inaccurate, he just didnt look like scoring!
He did do abit of trickey every now and again which was pretty flossy but apart from that he looked lost??
