Not sure scapegoat is the right word, Bielsa seemed to have faith in him. At one time he divided opinion about 50/50, then he got a short run of games at 9, we were used to Bamford's press, bloke gets through an immense amount of work, then Roberts comes in and the work rate halved in comparison, when he started to stop tracking back and giving up, then the tide turned against him, so much so, Bielsa put Dan James at 9, ffs.
I see Armstrong hit a hat-trick in the U-21’s in the 5-3 win at Cardiff yesterday. Looks like a good workout for the lad. Nice way to keep MB on his case.
