Everything about Robben is selfish. He only passes because he MUST. Heynckes probably told him that's the only way he will get playing time. He doesn't pass because he thinks it's best for the team. After every pass I get the feeling he thinks "good now I've done a pass so I can go a selfish shot next without criticism".

Like I said, everything about Robben is selfish, his attitude, his playing style, his celebrations... it's all just ME ME ME.
Team is winning everything, Robben is annoyed and feels like he has to disturb the harmony by shooting a ball at a window full power and shouting/spitting at the assistant coach.

Well Guess what Robben. There's worse things in the world that you sitting on a bench. **** GET OVER IT!!

He passes beacause he MUST? You MUST work to have food, YOU MUST go to school to get an education.....his boss tells him how to play so he has to....Whats your point? You just validated my point that he does pass......

I don't think I saw you complain when this "selfish" Robben won games for us, and almost single handed took us to a CL final....now he adjusts his play and you people are still bit*hing to no end.....

28.1 for Robs.
oooooooooooooooooooooooo...

I wanted to bring up how the stats regarding passing, scoring, assisting, key passes, shots per game all are really badly skewed against Robben, but his low amount of appearances as well as having half his appearances be from the bench kinda makes it an unreliable stats pool. Maybe at the end of the season we can judge his performance through stats, but not yet.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. He passes to avoid criticism. Muller passes because he thinks it's the best option. There's a huge difference in mindset.

And indeed, when you score loads of goals you get away with being selfish. that's the way it works.

Wrong, Muller passes because he doesn't have the same skills as Robben to go around players and controll the ball. There are certain players and certain styles, its the coaches job to figure out how to use them. Van Gaal had no problems in getting player potential to its fullest.

Fact of the matter is that people want the Robben from 2010 back, they want him to score a million goals, but they want him to pass more, run more, play less, get out of the club, stay, go play goalie for a bit see if that works..... Like I said, something is needed to be negative about him just like the media does, so do a lot of people here for no reason, they start making up things.....just annoying and its getting old.

We are on a great track to win the buli, 18 points ahead for now, enjoy it, stop complaining....

Yes, there's people like that.
And there's people like you, who defend some players no matter what.

And it's just some ppl on bayernforum.com?
Let me tell you this. All of Holland is sick of this guy. The way he plays, things he says, the thigns he does. Simple as that.
In fact, most Dutch people want him out of the National team XI.

Robben cries a LOT when he isn't picked. Getting outclassed by Muller who cant do tricks to save his life must be insulting to him. He overrates himself. He is not as selfish as portrayed by the media.

Going in to the locker room straight after the whistle a few games ago shows me that he really hasn't changed. He hasn't had a great season for almost 3 years now, and he was horrendous in last year's CL final when he choked, he was the same in the league game against Dortmuuld where he missed the penalty and a clear-cut chance at the end. If we had won Bayern would be back in the title race. He chockes in the big games. And this isn't why I hate him. It's his character- numerous fights with team players, crying in the media, doing stuff like running straight to the locker room and again he had an argument with Tymo after Wolsburg's game. He's past his prime, unless he decides the CL final, I couldn't care less about him not playing. Hopefully he leaves Bayern soon.

I agree with those who are saying that Robben passes a lot more these days. Even last season he used to pass more and some of his passes were amazing.

The problem is that he is still quite selfish often and he has no reason to be, because he has lot his scoring touch. I don't know, maybe it's lack of playing time, but these days he misses more good chances than he scores. Actually, I think that now he is a much more useful passer than scorer. Hopefully yesterday's goal is the start of him regaining his form.

Ribery is quite selfish sometimes too, and it's not the first time we've lost possession in a very good chance because of that, but he also both scores and assists a lot.

Last night showed how much Martinez adds to our team. Gustavo is a beast at breaking up the game, but Martinez is on another level when he wins that ball and then taking it forward.

A Martinez/Gustavo combination would be incredible I think.

I'd also say Schweini looks good in the #10 roll instead of kroos.

I think we might even see this more during the remainder of the season.

Martinez - Gustavo

Müller - Schweinsteiger - Ribery

But to be honest, I don't see Jupp dropping Kroos too often.

I don't see him doing that whatsoever.

P.S. not that I want to, but just stating the facts.

I'm happy with this current squad and line-up, I just wish Badstuber would be healthy, I really like him as a player and I think he has a great personality.
It's too bad Gustav and Gomez don't get to play more but all that will change in upcoming weeks.

Neuer had a minor Hand injury before the match , so he played with a special 4-fingered glove

I don't know why some are saying that Ribery is the most selfish player in the team. I do agree that in some situations he should pass than trying to dribble past a defender and then loses the ball but who is the player who constantly moves into open spaces off the ball to help his team mates find someone to pass to or does a diagonal run to open spaces for other players ? I think he is one of the players who works mostly for the team.

What? Ribery selfish? The major part of his game is to dribble down the wing and CROSS the ball, in other words, PASS it to his team mate.
