Tyler Roberts

[BGwhite]

No proof but Joe strikes the ball far better than Roberts. Back of the net all day long.

Thought Tyler did well in his time on the pitch yesterday and tried to make things happen. Would still have preferred Joe Gelhardt to start as I think he has the x-factor right now and I am not sure Roberts could have kept that performance up over 60-90 minutes either.

Roberts has a lot to prove, 4 goals in how many games !!! and folk say he's class, obviously my football knowledge is lost somewhere.
He's shite, admittedly, he had a decent knock yesterday, it's law of averages he would one day, he's had so many chances, any other team would have off loaded him already, one of the reasons we're in the predicament we are in is because he's one of Bielsa' pet projects, keeping exciting talent out of the team.

Well done Tyler

Tyler Roberts vs. Brighton:

27 minutes
16 touches
7/7 successful passes
5 ball recoveries
4 shots
4 penalty box touches
3 shots on-target
3 duels won
2 times fouled
1/1 successful take-on
1/1 accurate long pass

Played a huge role in getting Leeds into the game.

Yea, well done Tyler, 40 premier league appearances and 1 goal (one) great return that.
27 minutes and we are getting excited !!!!

Absurd return that, I guess folk are desperate and will celebrate any small positive.

I'm no Roberts fan but I gave this a bump.

Felt it was only fair to give some credit for some improvement.

Nobody is suggesting that it justifies his poor return at this club or that he is the answer (he probably should have scored if we are being honest) but it was better.

Fair action & comment, Cjay

Wasn't aiming anything nor having a go at you personally, just pointing it out to those that think he's "class"

Phil Hay did a Q&A and was asked about Roberts.

*****. to be completely honest, I feel like a move elsewhere would do him good. To repeat myself, the season so far isn't down to him. He hasn't made much impact and that's why I think Leeds need better but he attracts a lot of criticism in a situation which is much bigger than him. A fair few players have struggled for form - the problem for Roberts is that he has no credit in the bank. He ran hard last night and made the effort but I'm not sure this period and the way he's been used is doing him or the team a great deal of good. It is fascinating to see how much Bielsa trusts him though.

Don't want to derail the appreciation thread for his recent performances but did want to say this because a narrative is developing that Roberts has been unfairly treated and hasn't had a fair chance.

He has had chances, he has played the majority of our matches 58 times here, he has scored 5 goals in those matches and got 9 assists which is a goal every 11 matches or so or an assist every 6.4.

Let's not start this narrative that he is hard done by, he isn't, he hasn't made the most of his opportunities.

That is nobody else's fault but his.

Fully deserves the praise recently but let's not change the narrative into a fake poor hard done by Tyler story.

[BGwhite]

It'll take more than one decent performance to convince me but credit where credits due he had a decent game .

Cheer everyone up.

Maybe we should name deadline day January 31st Roberts Day!!!!

[Mick Jones shoulder]

Been frustrating the punters for 4 years bar the odd one or two.......

Signed for 2.5m, that’s £625,000 per season and won’t be on massive wages I wouldn’t have thought.
It might rise to 4m but can’t remember what triggers it (England caps ? )

Rodrigo has cost far more in his wages alone since he’s been here and that’s not including his fee.

Both had similar career’s here - fairly average, so Roberts edges it for me.
Both bought as strikers but are now usually AM’s.

[DDB220]

Roberts has the 2nd half of the season to save his Leeds career IMO. I do not have much hope for him as players come back his opportunities will diminish and he is only consistent at being inconsistent.

[White Riot]

It's great that we're showing faith in our young talent by having them sit on the bench and watch the likes of Roberts, Rodrigo and James show them how to fail every match

Very forward thinking by Radz, Orta, Kinnear and MB

Investing in our future

Together strong

Has had successful hamstring surgery.

Is however expected to miss the rest of the season.

Expected recovery period of 3 months

Wish him a speedy recovery

[beer belly bert]

The Wales international has gone under the knife and expects to spend the next three months on the sidelines, meaning his campaign is over.

A club statement said: “Leeds United can confirm Tyler Roberts has successfully undergone surgery on a ruptured hamstring tendon sustained in last Saturday’s Premier League game at Leicester City.

Let's hope when he recovers he can find a Championship team to play for, and not already be in one
