I wasn’t sad to see Roberts leave. There wasn’t really a place in the team for him with the system we play. As others have said, he didn’t work hard enough (or know how to tackle) to be a wing back or a centre mid (can’t believe we played him there). His positional sense for both of those positions was really poor actually and left us open no end of times.

He could’ve played as a CAM, but not very well and certainly not as well as Ruben has done. The only position I thought suited him would be on the right of a front three in a 4-3-3, or maybe as a number ten to play alongside Wootton but we went away from a back four fairly long ago.

The guy was a luxury player who had some stand out games, especially early on, but I felt his attitude and injury record were poor. We did well to move him on when we did I think.

Roberts was no good in this formation mostly because his discipline was none existent
