A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to Tyler Roberts’ interview after he came on for 26 minutes during Leeds’ 1-0 defeat to Wigan Athletic.
The Welsh international has only played in 11 games this season and has suffered various injuries that have prevented him from getting a good run of matches together.
Can Roberts make a difference for Leeds?
Yes, he can help
No, he is too injury prone
Roberts, who is valued at £3.6m by Transfermarkt, was supposed to have a major role to play this season, but the injuries have disrupted these plans, and he is just hoping he can string a consistent stretch of matches together.
The former West Bromwich Albion man said he was buzzing to be back and that he felt good.
However, these Leeds fans think that Roberts will be injured again soon.

What do we think?
Roberts has made 42 appearances for Leeds since he joined and, in that time, he has scored four goals and provided six assists.
So though it is not the best record, Bielsa clearly rates the 20-year-old, and to have him as an option for the last 16 matches could be a boost to the Whites’ promotion hopes.
