Patrick Roberts?????

Just runs right to left accross the 18 yard box and shins it into the nearest CB. That's his trade mark.

Jokes aside no point paying the guy if he's never going to play.
 
certainly hasn't worked out for us or him this season, I thought he was good for us back end of last season though.

We're playing 4-3-3 which doesn't suit him free role behind the striker is where he looks more comfortable.

Certainly wouldn't be surprised to see him go, wouldn't be disappointed but there would be a certain degree of "what if" as thought he'd kick on this season.
 
He is very skillful player, but that doesn't make him a good footballer. I had really hoped he would be the one who could unlock a defence with a well timed pass but it never seemed to happen. Good defenders just push him across the face of the box and he gets about halfway across the pitch before trying to force an opening or ending with a powder puff shot (that invariably hits the first defender).
 
A run of games would do him the world of good. He’s clearly low on confidence and needs a system that suits his game.
 
I’d prefer Kebano to Roberts tbf.

No doubt Roberts is a talent, just not sure he has the work ethic for Warnock or fits in with his pressing and defending from the front. Unless he has the ball at his feet he’s anonymous.
