I see speculation, I know, I know! that Roberts is not thrilled with a new contract offer! Toe in the water, am I the only one who has been underwhelmed with his contributions this year? I absolutely fail to see what he brings to the table. He would be way down my list of players I would lose sleep over if he were to move on. Underachiever springs to mind. Anyone else?

Good point about him getting that first goal.
He got his goal today but did make the wrong choice initially not laying it off to Harrison for an easy finish. Did the same at the end against Burnley with Rodrigo on his hatrick.
Hopefully now he's got it, he'll not feel that pressure to get a goal.

The Bosses reaction after Tyler scored tonight just might be my moment of the season.
I know MB is intense but wow that was intensity personified - the fire, the passion!

Said same on thread Rev. It was clear how much that goal meant to MB as well as Tyler (and the team for him). Great moment.

I actually think we only need just one influential midfielder a new Hernandez I suppose and a new left back to be serious top four challengers.
Obviously the squad needs to be lucky with injuries too but we must be at least top 6 since the new year and definitely since Lorente returned for the Chelsea game.
Roberts can double up as a Striker as can Rodrigo and with Gelthard coming through we have enough fire power.
Looking forward to next season already. Exciting times for us as long suffering fans to be witnessing possibly the best style of football the club has ever played.

If you want to try and understand how good Roberts actually is then tonight would be a good start point.
He only got his first premiership goal tonight because he set bamford up
He set him up and then converdit the rebound

I always said Roberts was good!

I agree Macca.
A top quality LB and a Attacking Central Midfielder / Creative player is all we need.

So as the original Op it really is funny that there are people on here who are unable to take criticism of any player who wears the shirt. Everybody who pays to watch us is entitled to their opinion on each and every player and of course opinions will differ.
So I will stick to my view on Roberts. And you can throw in Costa as well. Lightweight and we were sold a pup there.
Finally, looking at the number of contributions on this topic, is this a record and can I have my blue peter badge? Overall, good to know that the level of debate is, mostly, informed and healthy!
