Roberts


Gets loads of pre assists supposedly

He needs to buck his ideas up he’s been f***ing shite this season and people can try and dress it up however they like.

He’s a pure show pony
Pre-assist man. What a load of shite. A pass to somewho passes to someone then scores. I like Roberts skill but he has been useless this season. I was amazed he got a new contract. Should have been hooked at HT last night.
 
I’ve been his biggest fan but he has been terrible this season. Problem is I dont rate Ba either so unsure who would come in for him wide right
 
Not having a 30m premier league player following you around the pitch helping you out is the worst excuse ever for not providing any goals or mentionable assists mind. Absolute cop out.
It doesn’t wash like. The old pre assist seems to be the new justification for his place in the team. Given we attempt to do everything through him and Clarke, it’s hardly a surprise he touches the ball before a goal. :lol:

So because he's been poor we shouldn't have bothered offering a new deal and therefore just let him leave for £0? Interesting.

People have mentioned playing Adil instead of Roberts, Adil isn't a RM/RW. There's moans about playing players out of position and then the solution to out of form players is hoy someone, anyone, in that position and hope it clicks.
 
I'm not the biggest fan of Ba but he's got more of an end product than Roberts and that's saying something!

We could have taken the 5m from Southampton and we'd have been no worse off
Ba deserves a run of a few games in the first team imo. He's just brought on when things are a bit desperate and expected to perform. Roberts has had long enough to stamp his authority so a spell on the bench seems fair enough otherwise we are just repeating the same thing and expecting a change. It's healthy competition if nowt else.
 
Can you please explain why Roberts is in the team. Week in week out he gets the ball and runs, thus ends with him running into a defender, producing a pass that is so late because he realises he is about to run into a player or he just shoots nowhere near the goal. 17 games and he has zero goals, zero assists.
Look , we all see the same thing as you.

Lynden Gooch became a bit of a cult hero for doing pretty much the same.

He is inconsistent at best and this season has been poor. The timing of the contract was a surprise as it was still weeks from january 1st but gives the club a valuation if he wants to leave/they want to sell. As i said, i like him but based on his performances this season he wouldn't get in decent teams in the championship. Needs to improve
 
You'd think people would want to go back to the days of Power, McNulty and Grigg the way they despise having quality players in the starting 11
 
He isn't playing well, that beyond doubt. I do wonder though if it's partly down to this ridiculous inverted fullback nonsense we're persisting with.

They have to perform though. Roberts isn't
