Is there anyone on here that rates super Robin outside of the box? I'd be interested to hear the views of anyone who does.
For me he is quite weak when defenders get tight on him(which happens a lot outside the box), so he invariably loses the ball, it's quite hard to believe the bloke is over 6 foot.
There also seems to be some problem with his balance and ability to pick the ball from deep and carrying it forward passed 1 or 2 players, a bit like Ibrahimovic does, who also isn't the quickest , but uses his body well to shield the ball and take it forward when necessary. That it self wouldn't be a big problem if he could play 1st time passes from deep, but he can't, he just doesn't see things quickly enough.
I don't think he plays well when the team is under the cosh or playing badly.
What he's really good at is playing one-twos in around the box, create space for himself through body feints, draw backs etc for a shot and he's got fantastic movements. However I believe he's far from the complete player most people think he's.
