Anyone Remember when Roberts told him to "**** ***"! during the Wales v Holland game?

Bad attitude and Tresor is in the same boat.
Oh yes. 8 June 2022 before a ball had been kicked in any league competition. We had been relegated, Wout was going on loan to Besiktas in order to try to fulfil his World Cup dream and Wales played the Netherlands at home. Wales equalised in the second minute of added time and were celebrating, however, Wout scored the winner in the 4th minute of added time and Roberts went off on one, which he has been seen to do on several occasions in his time at Burnley.
The return match was 13 June 2022, the Netherlands won 3-2 and Wout didn't even bother playing.

To say he did not want to be at Burnley from the start is pure conjecture because he started every game until the last three and never feigned injury. He has played in 506 competitive games since his first appearance for Heracles on 9 August 2014, two days after his 22nd birthday.

Compare with Ashley Barnes who has played in 506 competitive games since his established first season at Brighton in August 2010

Wout has scored 155 goals and Ashley has scored 121. Both players are good professionals who have done their job. Both have different skill levels and one has represented his country at full International level, the other played 1 match at Under 20 level.
Personally, I like them both but feel that Wout came into a team not playing well and who had been shaken by the loss of their leading goalscorer to another team fighting relegation. He was criticised for missing a big chance, however, in order to miss you have to get yourself in a position to score and he never shirked that responsibility.

Just to get back on track, how many games has Tresor played?
