Player Thread: Patrick Roberts

[r.soleofsalford]

I thought the same. As I think on it didn't Shark Face play Sterling at wing back a lot two years ago? To no great effect IIRC.

How many times when Roberts is unmarked does that greedy useless **** Griffiths take on the impossible and waste a good position

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

I see the highlights are on.


Not watching it - Rodgers is a comedy act and a fucking cock-horn.

Fuck him.' unleash the crowd' - what a shiny toothed, throbbing length!

Still on loan to Celtic. However, given how persistent Rogers has been in his pursuit of Scott Sinclair from Villa- three bids already- perhaps there is a chance that Roberts could return prematurely. Only a slight possibility, granted, but I cannot see Celtic forking out and then having Roberts play ahead of him. Wishful thinking on my part?

Sinclair is a left winger.

 

[Jacob Smith]

Reminds me a lot of Adam Johnson, same style of play. Hopefully he's got a bit more ability than Johnson and I hope he hasn't got interest for youngsters.

Roberts is far a more refined footballer than Johnson and hopefully doesn't touch kids

Similar style of play though.

Roberts is closer to Silva IMO, he's Silva type with pace which enables him to glide past players, not that Johnson didn't get past players but watching Roberts get past a defender is far more pleasing on the eye if you know what I mean? Not sure I explained that too well but it makes sense in my head...

Yeah I get you.

I'm watching it now, Roberts playing on the right, bright start from him. Celtic playing without full backs, so he's had to track back as well, almost like a wing back.

Roberts has got their left midfielder and left back on toast.

ripping their right side apart.

Celtic's best player in the first half by a country mile. Has more ability than the other 10 Celtic players combined.

Most Celtic fans saying the same thing on their forum.

 

[Hungarian blue]

Great that he is playing well and if Celtic go through, then all the better. It would guarantee them a group stage in either CL/EL.

So I'm assuming Brendan will still fuck up somehow the home leg. :)

Celtic fans singing his praises.

Great performance from Roberts, easily MOTM for me. He should be in our squad this season but heres to hoping he will get plenty of game time there and carry on improving.

Celtic staying in the Champions League will be great for him, hopefully the great through these 2 rounds and into the groups. Could be a decent partnership if Celtic do well and get Scotland's coefficient up so they automatically get a team in the groups. Granted Scotland need to make up about 17 coefficient points but Rangers being back and hopefully a good run by Aberdeen in the Europa League may help the cause. However Scotland only needs 9/10 coefficient points to get 2 teams back in the Champions League, which again might take at least 2 or 3 seasons.
