“Everything We Were Missing” “What A Waste” – Former Youngster Frustrates These West Brom Fans

|

Friday evening’s clash at Elland Road between promotion hopefuls West Bromwich Albion and Leeds United didn’t exactly go to plan.

With victory over manager Marcelo Bielsa’s side earlier in the campaign, confidence was high that we could give ourselves a boost in this clash to close the gap to the automatic spots, but with Leeds starting the far brighter and having opened the scoring within the first minute, it didn’t get any better as we fell to a heavy 4-0 defeat.

With plenty of frustrations coming to the fore and a fair amount of overreaction and criticism to what was a bad day in an otherwise pretty decent (albeit far from perfect – we all sees the problems in the side) season, one big talking point was the performance of former Academy graduate Tyler Roberts.

The 20-year-old, now Welsh international, departed The Hawthorns back at the end of the January 2018 transfer window for a reported £2.5million as we couldn’t secure him to a contract extension, and he departed with only one substitute showing to his name.

It hasn’t been perfect at Elland Road for him, but he is starting to show just how good he could be in the future and he did, of course, provide two assists on Friday to rub salt into the wounds.
