I agree Alioski is a strange one. He seemed to get the fans and definitely brought energy to the team. Roberts really frustrates me. He appears to have everything - he destroyed West Brom at elland road a few years ago and the goals he scored at Hull before lockdown were pure class. He just hasn’t kicked on in the way that some of the others have. I don’t think he’s as terrible as social media would have us believe. He usually does more than Rodrigo, which I know is damning with faint praise!

He had the potential (we generally agreed) and has failed to take the chance but the decision to stick with him until now has been a reasonable one. I’m annoyed about Rodrigo - just not even giving glimpses that he did before. Alioski going is the interesting one. He clearly understands the system in a way that, for example, Heldar Costa never did and that to me is the proof that Bielsa knows best. The club said they wanted to keep Alioski but he felt it was time to move. I wonder why?
