The dilemma with Roberts

[jackal2]

The current system doesn’t get the best out of him. 3 games ago I was of the opinion the system was more important.
After taking 1 point from 9, and seeing that Cal looked the only player that was going to cause damage today, I’m starting to think we should be changing the system to accommodate him.

I think we kind of have, although our system is quite fluid so it's difficult to tell at times.

A few games ago we seemed to be playing 3-5-2 with Roberts as one of two attacking midfielders, which made him look a bit ordinary, but today we seemed at times to have gone more 3-4-3 with Roberts in one of the wide forward roles, which probably suits him better, but then it leaves us looking very lightweight in midfield. We definitely seem to be straining to find the way to accommodate him, but it's understandable when you see goals like the one he scored today.
