HATCHET MAN: Robinho's team mates aren't as bad as Manchester City's wayward Brazilian's attitude
Robinho has finally spoken out about his massively disappointing form for Manchester City and provided an explanation: it's his team-mates' fault.[LNB]How thoroughly, disappointingly predictable.[LNB]Robinho says he plays better for Brazil than he does for Citybecause he is lining up alongside a higher quality of player, but hisargument is less convincing than one of his away performances for hisclub.[LNB]That's what you need: Robinho claims he is dedicated to the City cause[LNB]He claimed: 'I truly dedicate myself to my club. Sometimes I amquestioned why I play better for the national squad than at ManchesterCity. I am the same at both places, but City is one team and the Brazilnational squad is another.

[LNB]'Here I can play well, but I believe I am playing well at City. I have scored 11 goals in the Premier League.'[LNB]If Robinho is a truly world class player, he should stand out in any team and be able to raise the standard at City.[LNB]Instead he has dropped below their level away from Eastlands and mayeven have led Mark Hughes to think that a change for a more effectiveand consistent star turn is needed in the summer.[LNB]If, at a cost of £34 million, Robinho is happy with the way things are, the manager's decision has surely been made for him.[LNB] [LNB]
