'Is Le Fee key to unlocking Roberts' potential?'

Patrick Roberts, by his own admission, would probably feel he could have had a better season than he has had.

By that, I mean he should have got more goals than he has got this season - he has two to his name, one of them from the penalty spot. He should really have a greater return for the skill and the runs he makes into the penalty area.

The other side of that coin is he does work hard on that right wing. He has formed a very good relationship with Trai Hume and Chris Rigg, and the one criticism he has from fans is they want more end product.

That is overlooking the work that he does for the team - assists and drawing defenders to him, and drawing defenders away from that central area.

He is getting in behind teams and getting other players a little bit more space, so sometimes there is a danger of overlooking all the hard work that he does.

He actually does go back and defend a lot. He does work up and down the right wing. He is a very, very hard worker.

Yes, end product, I think he himself admits is something he needs to probably improve, and I do wonder if Enzo Le Fee does move into the No 10 role whether he might become the new Amad for Patrick Roberts.

That is a relationship on the pitch that Roberts really thrived upon. If someone like Le Fee can come into a position alongside him, playing with the sort of magic that he does with his feet, that will feed into the way that Roberts plays as well.

That is what I am hoping for. I can foresee that happening but there will not be many games towards the end of the season for them to work on that particular relationship once Le Fee returns from injury.
