Bobby Banking on Robert…...

…to turn on the form – for since former Newcastle united star Nolberto Solano was sold to Aston Villa, Robert has failed to reach the back of the net – that’s five games!!!

So far this season Robert has impressed the Premier League which his Quality goals and his great football. But was this just a burst of energy or are we set to see him shine?

Robert was sidelined in Norway and was taken off the pitch during a dismal draw against Portsmouth.

Sir Bobby Robson in a recent interview said

"He wondered why I took him off, but he had started to walk around a bit at the end when everyone is working and fighting.”

"He's all right with the ball, but the game is split 50-50, particularly away from home.”

"You do well to get more than 50 per cent of the ball, so 50 per cent of your game has to be censored."

However Craig Bellamy has wowed the crowds since his return by netting four goals in as many games. Lets hope his amazing performances since returning to injury are a continuous thing.

Robert and Bellamy are two of Europe’s leading goal scorers this season.
