    Roberts, on the form he showed in his short time on the pitch today, would give KT nightmares.

    You have a strange view of what a forward is/does tbf....

    Roberts is a winger. When we lose the ball, and are under pressure... he tracks back and helps his full back. Just like any other winger/wide midfielder.

    He only looks like a forward to YOU, because we are usually quite dominant in domestic games. So he spends much more time attacking than defending... But he is still a winger/wide midfielder!

    If Roberts is cutting into central areas (which is what he prefers to do from that position), then in that scenario, it would not be the sole responsibility of KT to mark him... so it wouldn't really be a one-on-one battle in the true sense! If Roberts played like a more orthodox right winger, isolated KT and tried to beat him on the outside.... I would definitely give KT a strong edge, just because Roberts right foot is not really that strong!

    Apologies for calling you "lad".... that seems to have irked you a bit. Would "lass" be more appropriate?? I could explain the offside rule to you as well, if you want!? :101:
