Leeds United slipped to defeat at the weekend.
Tyler Roberts was substituted at half-time at the weekend for Leeds United after a disappointing first half performance.
It was a baffling display from the Wales international, who had been sensational a week earlier against Sheffield Wednesday.
The £4 million signing from West Brom starred against the Owls, having six shots, creating two chances, and touching the ball 66 times.
Against Wigan he managed 26 touches in the first 45 minutes, had one shot at goal which was off target and created no chances. Marcelo Bielsa had seen enough.
The Argentine took him off at half-time, replacing him with Adam Forshaw.
This could have been a mistake, with Leeds going on to lose the game 2-1.
Roberts is a more attacking player than Forshaw and ultimately Leeds needed his goal threat.
Unfortunately Roberts’ poor first half made Bielsa’s decision to change the team an easy one.
Roberts is likely to retain his place against Brentford with Bielsa loyal to his starting XI. He needs to do better if Leeds are to win the game.
