    I agree, given what we've seen this year.

    But isn't it the case that he was much the same in the Championship when he was out for a while & needed a run to get going?

    I don't think he's going to get a run this year, so I think it might be an Adios at the end of the season.

    The argument for Roberts is for him to be given a proper chance in the P re

    This echos my point about Roberts needing a run. Do we want to give a run to a player who is leaving in the summer or a player who could potentially add something to the squad for years to come?

    For a proven player? Yes.

    For a wage thief tit? Absolutely not.

    I really cannot see why so many of you have it in for Roberts? Is he the new Tom Lees/Liam Cooper?

    Not at all! The other two were useful.

    Roberts has scored something like 7 goals in 62 games (Wiki source, but I'm bustin' for a crap & therefore time pressured, so can't look elsewhere). We've got defenders that score more.

    I don't think Bielsa has had the same attitude towards Pablo since he threw a strop after being substituted a while back. A win tonight and that will be 17 points ahead of Fulham and that surely should be enough. Tough game because they are quick on the counter, though their record without Zaha is woeful.

    Roberts has been here since Jan 2018 and its now Feb 2021 in that time Leeds have played getting on for 170 games and he has actually made just 62 of them. Back in 2018 the money we spent on his transfer fee was a load of cash compared to what we normally spent. Sorry but hes been a sick note, not available, a poseur, greedy selfish billybigbollox, and wasted almost every chance in front of goal and every chance he's had to prove himself. I hope he has a great career but not at Leeds he wont

    Evening all, Popey tweeted that Pablo is injured so bang go all the conspiracy theories.
