Robinson

[Jimmy Hill]

Bad Game from him, and not a great season. Think its harsh to question his character, for me he always comes across that he cares and would be the first to put his hands up. Needs the fans support at this moment.

At his age and after a serious knee injury you lose a yard of pace . combine this with his lack of match fitness and it could explain a lot. To be fair to him he has done very well against saka in the past . He has never been a great footballer ,but a superb athlete. Take away  his extreme physical qualities of pace and stamina and given that he no longer has the ability to repair being out of position or losing the ball ,it's not surprising that he has been poor. Not sure if he will be the same player again, as last season he was excellent.

Even more Frustrating as he looked good when he came on at villa...

Agreed, thought he was very good in that Villa cameo.  This Arsenal show, really off the boil.  Probably one of his poorest games in a FFC shirt. 

[Lordedmundo]

Yes - he was incredibly poor yesterday and needs to be dropped (unless of course he was one of the players suffering from the virus - in which case - why the hell did Marco play him, when he could have put Bassey at LB)!

Shame to see some fans piling on him, when clearly he has just not recovered his form after injury. As others mentioned - he has been ok in other games off the bench.

Let him go to the World Cup and try to find his form. Hopefully we will see him back to his best in a Fulham shirt after that.

No club will offer much money for him the way he is playing, so I think we should be believe in him.

He may have been one of the players who was ill for most of the week which would reduce his levels of energy etc

Robinson has developed a habit of turning away from shots and crosses.
It happened again on Saturday for Saka's like cross for Gyoceres's tap in.
This us completely unacceptable,cowardly and shows a lack of commitment.
Players who do this should be fined.

I'm not disagreeing that Jedi has developed this habit but I haven't noticed it particularly although I could have just somehow missed it if he's the serial offender you claim him to be.

Pros on massive wages cowardly turning their back is one of my biggest bug bears in modern football along with diving and simulation.

Check out the Inter Milan LB who turned his back for PSG's second goal in last season's Champions League Final. The shot was so weak that if he'd just fronted up he'd have had time to control the shot and clear it. Instead it deflected off him and into the net. Total embarrassment that Steven Gerard pointed out in the half time analysis.

If every PL club fined players for turning their back when "defending", they'd recoup millions over the course of a season.

Mac Allister was guilty of it yesterday against Man Utd.

[copthornemike]

Harry Wilson was having a bit of a quiet patch then the captaincy of Wales coincided with a dramatic improvement in his form and effectiveness.
Let's all hope the World Cup does the same with Robinson after all his injury problems.
He deserves  all of our support after not angling for a move prior to his injury in contrast with many players these days.

[JimmyConway]

It's probably not ideal it's a World Cup year as he could have done with an extended break. With the amount of games missed through injuries this season I tend to think for someone who's been as fit as he has year in year out it looks like he is trying to play catchup at the moment. Not sure how he can get back to those levels of fitness for the remainder of this season?
Think it's plain to see fitness is the issue with him and probably showing up more as we have become accustomed to his energy levels since he joined us and to see the drop off second half of season is evidence of an injury plagued campaign.
I don't see how other than fitness you see a drop off in form like his shown. His strength has always been getting up and down the left flank. This season when returning he has not had a winger in front of him where you could say they have an understanding as yet? Wilson plays off the right and the only one I can think of is Iwobi who he possibly would have had some a bit of relationship that side but his not really featured as a wide player this season. Dont get me wrong he does get caught out at times ball watching defensively and he can't cross a ball for Toffee but he is a very good solid left back and would be hopeful he'll return to that form next season.

I disagree. It should be a firing squad for cowardice. A volley of ten footballs fired at close range with hands tied and no blindfold.

Might need to borrow a centre forward from somewhere in this scenario.

Blimey, someone else who remembers centre forwards!
