24Charlie Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 On Sibbo, he gives away free kicks for fun and against teams whose main goal source is from free kicks to allow them to flood the box then he's a liability. If he was banging them in then you could live with it but he isn't right now so having him play without his goal threat means he currently is more a hinderance than a help. Rooney was like this as a kid but he scored goals. Sibbo needs to rid the rashness from his play because he isn't producing enough going forward to carry him in the team right now. Bit of a catch 22. How does he rid himself of the rashness and get back amongst the goals if he's not getting a lot of minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BondJovi Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 It is an interesting problem. If you looked at our squad from the first game, you would think where are the goals coming from. Waghorn and Lawrence scored 22 between them last season. This season so far, they have 2 between them. Under half a season to go, any chance of them adding 20 more? Considering last season was Lawrence's best for us. CKR might be on course to match Martin. But we have lost goals elsewhere in Rooney. After those it is then Knight and Sibley with 6 each...2 so far for Knight. We have only added Gregory as a recognised scorer. Even then I would say he is a defensive forward. It is great that our defence has improved but it was never the main problem. Scoring goals is. At some point we have to take a more attacking mindset because we are asking a lot of our keeper, defenders and midfielders to keep such high concentration and work rate. Goals would ease that. You can't fault Rooney for taking the approach he did. However we still remain in that precarious position where if we concede first, the game is done. Mistakes will happen.

LeedsRam1999 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Personally next week against Boro (who will most likely make themselves tough to score against) I’d get Joz on the left, Roberts on the right, Kazim up front with a midfield of Knight, Benni and Shinnie. Would use Sibley but as someone mentioned above, he can be rash and give away set pieces opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
