"Shocking" £22k-p/w Leeds United dud scoring 1 goal every 928 mins has let Bielsa down - opinion

With just 23 points on the board from 23 played league games so far this season, Leeds United are in danger of being dragged into a tense relegation battle if they don’t manage to rack up some positive results on a more consistent basis.

One player that has had a particularly disappointing campaign with the Yorkshire club, especially from an attacking point of view, is Tyler Roberts.

Since making the move to Elland Road back in the 2018 January transfer window from West Bromwich Albion in a deal worth a reported fee of around £2.5m, the Welshman has made a total of 106 appearances across all competitions, chipping in with nine goals and 10 assists along the way.

With 21 league appearances under his belt so far in the current league campaign, the 23-year-old has only managed to score one goal and provide one assist, giving him a goal frequency of one every 928 minutes, which hasn’t really helped the team on a consistent basis whilst Patrick Bamford has been out injured.

As well as the lack of regular goals and assists, Roberts’ overall performances have been rather disappointing as well, with WhoScored giving him a rating of 6.36, making him one of the lowest-rated Leeds players to have started more than one league game, showing just how much he has let Marcelo Bielsa down.

According to SofaScore, the attacker, who is currently picking up a weekly wage of £22k-per-week according to Salary Sport, has lost possession 6.2 times per game, rack up a passing accuracy percentage of 74% and win just 46% of the duels he’s been involved in.

With all of that in mind, it’s easy to see why former Aston Villa attacker Gabby Agbonlahor previously claimed that it’s “shocking” how many times Leeds’ attacking moves keep breaking down when
