Patrick Roberts

It's all well and good saying he's good on the ball, but we're in a relegation battle and he hasn't created a single goal from open play since he arrived.

We need him to either score or to pass better.
It's honestly infuriating how many times he shot straight at a defender right in front of him.

It’s true but he did set fletcher up with a beautifully weighted pass after one of his good runs. He needs to play behind them though to get the best out of them. And he has won a couple of penalties pre lockdown. He is frustrating at times but he’s also the 1 player who looks like he has that magic, you have to persist with players like that sometimes as they can have 5 bad moments but it only takes 1 special moment to make the difference
 
Strikers have to want to get into positions to score, all fine and well blaming roberts, what about the last 2-3 seasons with the same players when we couldn't score to save our lives, last year 3rd worse scoring record, this year worst, whose fault is that?
