My big fear with Roberts(and I'm a fan) is that he's looked great under Rodgers. If there's one thing Rodgers is famous for, it's making wide players look amazing in his system. Scott Sinclair consistently looks good in his set ups. Raheem looked far, far better in it than he did under Pellers. There were others at Swansea too. So with that evidence in mind I'm fearful he's looking better in a system than he truly is right now. But the quality is definitely there.
My biggest fear is when I've seen him do special things for Celtic, inevitably the defending has been atrocious, Sunday league level stuff. The leap from that to dealing with low blocked PL defenders is literally enormous and not just one league up but several leagues up.
Rogers is a good coach but Pep is better. If we do keep Roberts it'll be because Pep's seen in him something he thinks is worth working with.
