Roberts and that piece of skill


Class player but needs to create more, they do double up like anything on him.

People leave out McGeady in our skillful players comparisons. McGeady in his 30s had the skill and end product, Roberts is the most exciting player since him.
 
Lots of positive posts flying around after a heartwarming performance and result.
But, unless I have missed it, I don’t think anyone has highlighted Patrick Roberts sublime, world class, mouth watering piece of skill in the second half.
Clarke ( who was magnificent last night) hit a 40yard cross field pass high to Roberts who had a defender all over him……Roberts plucked it out of the air without breaking stride, he caressed the pace out of the ball and placed it delicately in front of him before driving forward.
The price of my season ticket does not do justify to that magnificent piece of theatre and skill. Thank you Patrick .
The bloke is a magician...love watching him play, pure class👌

I turned to my son and said 'thats what we pay to come and watch. Pure talent'

Roberts has a world class 1st touch.
 
Unreal touch my roberts, but has anyone mention the free kick by sack at the end? If you going to do that shi, why not put your foot through it and hit it towards goal? That free kick ranks up there with the worst I've seen.
Is that the free kick right on the final whistle that dack just hits out for a goal kick? I was foaming, I was thinking' at least put it out for a throw in for them at their corner, then defend that'. The only thing I can think is if the ref told him to do it and he would blow.
 
I'd also like to mention Luke O'Nien's clever bit of game management towards the final minutes when he intercepted a cross into the box, but instead of putting his head or foot through it to invite another wave of attack, he controlled it, went driving out of the box and drawing a "foul" that played the Leeds forward like a fiddle; it helped to relieve what was a bit of relentless pressure from Leeds.
Yeah was a massive moment that. Our team and him in particular are getting so much better at seeing games out.

Ref told him time up,
Dack old pro knew the score
Love or hate him we need a bit experience in squad can be a big help.
Wish we had a Dennis Wise type on our books be a knocking bet he would wind up Bruno in cup game, amazed not more prem teams don’t target him it’s obvious he a hot head

Yeh that's the one, if the ref said it's the last kick of the game, put you foot through it and see if you can score a crazy free kick, even more annoying to be that passing the ball backwards when there are second left in the half, have a pot shot FFS
 
It was absolutely beautiful! I can’t think of many who has or had a better first touch that’s played for us, possibly sessegnon.

It was class but not worth a huge wank owa. Importantly though it’s miles more impressive than anything the bloke he f***ing replaced could do. The absolute shithouse. At one point he was passed the ball in acres and instead of running at his fullback passed it backwards. There was a very big hole Ba was hiding in last night
He was awful, one of his worst games for us.
