Arjen Robben has made public his
disappointment at being omitted from Chelsea's first team for
Sunday's Carling Cup final.
Robben made an appearance as a second-half substitute against
Arsenal and proved his worth with an assist for Didier Drogba's
winning goal.
Despite the positive impact he made on the game, Robben admits he
has become frustrated by his inability to hold down a regular
starting place under Jose Mourinho.
Sunday's was the ninth substitute appearance of the season for the
Dutchman.
And when he was told by Dutch television that there was
disappointment back home over his omission from the team to face
The Gunners, Robben claimed: "You can't be as angry as I was.
"I was pleased about the assist I gave for the second goal as it
showed what I can do.
"But for me, it's about time I was starting games."
Asked why he felt Mourinho had dropped him, the disillusioned star
replied: "You'll have to ask the manager about that."
