Yesterday’s battle between Manchester United and Manchester City is exactly the reason why Robinho hasn’t been able to cut it thus far in England. If Robinho was an MMA fighter he’d be the guy taking the extra shot once the opponent is knocked out. Once a team is defeated or weaker in quality Robinho can deliver the knockout blow. Against a top team like Manchester United Robinho has failed to show he is up for the fight.

English football is a different animal from football played just about anywhere in the world. In England even if you are striker you need to track back, compound this by the fact when Robinho was floating around aimlessly in attack and Manchester City were often playing a man short.

Speaking of MMA just felt like posting a clip of some old school Pride.
