Of course, van Basten would have to be a different man. I am unsure whether he can play under van Basten, but I am sure he won't have to wait much longer. Not being on the National side has really hurt him, but he plays his heart out for Bayern and I love him for that. I would love to see van Bommel back on the National side.

Worked for Ronaldo this season though. Robben also doesn't have the field vision that Van Persie has. Too many missed passes. But, Chelsea always looks better when he goes on in the second half. They won the Carling Cup off of a Robben set up to Drogba. And that makes sense - he's just too fragile to play 90 minutes every week. But his speed and fresh legs are awfully tough on defenders who've running for 45 minutes. Oranje probably should do the same thing. Robben's the sub. Robben dives too much agreed.

Saw yesterday's FA cup match between Chelsea and Spurs and he dived again!!!! i mean, maybe hes not fully aware of what is going on around him but evrytime anyone gets near mr. Robben fals down with a face like he's been shot form the stands!! disgrace, disgrace...somebody needs to take some serious actions @Jan, interesting tought about Robben…maybe you’re right, maybe he lacks a total view on the pitch but what has that to do with him diving??

Robben's main problem on the pitch - with the diving - is the fact that he does not really oversee the pitch whem he has the ball. He never had to when a junior player, but unlike Persie and Vaart, he misses that oversight. That's a biggie, in my view. He is still an awesome player, but will he ever learn 1) to stop diving and 2) to pay attention to teammates? Rumor has it Mourinho wants to sell Robben to Bayern.... Barcelona also expressed interest in The Groninger... Hi guys, great to have you back :-) .

He needs good coaching, but he won't get it from u no who. On top of the diving, Robben just does not play like he used to? He needs good coaching, but he won’t get it from u no who.
