Marc Roberts on the ball (38 replies)

He makes me incredibly nervous.
He really doesn't look comfortable.
I'm almost torn between hoping that he just lumps it 100% of the time because that's safer than a misplaced
pass to the opposition.
When there's an opponent within 2 metres of him it's dealt with in hot potato fashion. Probably for the best ???
Sanchez will help him to an extent but some of his decisions lack confidence.
The opposition know he's that way inclined and target him as a result.
Apart from the high press we use on occasion, when we close down the oppo's back 3 or 4, why do we rarely target a weaker individual in possession ?
Maybe it's just me ....
