Plenty of Leeds United fans let rip at midfielder Tyler Roberts for his performance during his side’s 1-0 victory against Barnsley on Thursday night.
The 21-year-old played the first 45 minutes at Elland Road before he made way for his senior teammate Pablo Hernandez after being largely ineffective in the game.
His side now require just one point to secure promotion to the Premier League for the first time since 2004 after an own goal from Barnsley’s Michael Sollbauer was the difference.
Fans could not wait for him to leave the field in the first-half and it was clear to see why.
Was Tyler Roberts Leeds' worst player vs Barnsley?
Yes
No
Per Sofascore, the Welshman only completed 11 passes from 29 touches of the ball, only won four duels and lost possession 10 times.
Because of this, supporters were not impressed and made their feelings clear on social media. Two fans described him as “a passenger” and an “invisible man”, while another stated that he does not offer anything.
Roberts is horrendous, invisible man! Doesn’t make himself available for us to pass through the middle. #lufc

Need to take Roberts off. He’s offering nothing. Too many tactical changes disrupt our game so far. Want to see ayling back to right back and Dallas at left back and work the overlaps. Wingers too isolated #lufc

Roberts was shocking that half!
Need to bring the 👑 on for the 2nd to take control & get us through!! #LUFC— Glynn (@GlynnTQ) July 16, 2020
Is Tyler Roberts even playing? #lufc

Am just not convinced by Tyler Roberts.
100% effort, just not sure there’s a real top quality player in there.
I know he’s young and time will tell.#LUFC— Steve Craven (@SteveCraven1) July 16, 2020
Roberts hasn’t done a thing #lufc

Roberts a passenger again. I’m still not sure what the thinking is behind that one. #lufc
