Yani P Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 The biggest compliment I would give Sibley today was he actually looked like a wing back. His positioning understandably is still not perfect, but his tackling was so much better, the rashness just not there and the tackle to break up their breakaway was brilliant. He even took a defenders pro booking lol. Hopefully he is back in midfield at some stage but he looked the part today. 48 hours, cstand, angieram and 15 others 13 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewton Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I thought it was his best all-round performance for DCFC since 2020. His defensive work was faultless and he was a threat with the ball. Well done Louie ?? Wistaston Ram, 48 hours, Ramarena and 12 others 6 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 He was great today. Helped he was played in what seemed like a 40 yard exclusion zone like, but he did use it well. May Contain Nuts, 48 hours, Magicman and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I thought watching the game today. He’s always had the attacking instinct but playing at left back has taught him the defensive part of the game. Both are needed for the wing back role. I think his crossing and tackling have improved considerably over the last couple of months which is a credit to him and Warne’s coaching staff. ck- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicman Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Think he has finally found his spot in the team. Moves better at LWB and has learned to tackle without getting yellow carded. Good for him and hopefully he continues to flourish. 48 hours, Reggie Greenwood and Premier ram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stopped a break by pulling a guy back. Was worth it. Millenniumram and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, just on the wind up. Sibley had an excellent game today, was MOM for me until McGoldrick turned into prime Messi second half.

uttoxram75 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Sibbo had acres of space today and he used it well. Good performance all round from him, a couple of great interceptions defensively and created chances at the other end.

Like the above it's tempered with the space FGR gave him but if he can continue in that form that's where he should play. Magicman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Sibley was really good going forward , playing left back gives him space to run into. Provide he doesn't have any defending to do which he didn't really much yesterday. Magicman and Carnero 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a very good game yesterday but I’m still not convinced that is his best position. This was a poor FGR side that allowed him plenty of space and threatened little down the flanks. Against a better team he will find it a lot tougher. Blondest Goat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donkey Derby Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Think Warne definitely does see something in him as looks like hes willing to persevere with him as a FB/WB which is possibly the key position in all of his teams. Whilst might not be in the role most of us expected, he finally playing regularly which is key for his development. One big improvement is his game is his discipline. In past you always knew he'd react to a foul which saw teams target him like at Florest last year. Whilst earlier in the season there were signs that nothing had changed, since Warne arrived he seems to have adopted much calmer approach, which was one of the key areas he needed to improve. .

Gerry Daly Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I thought he was excellent yesterday. The fact that Warne is playing him instead of Roberts speaks volumes I think. I would say that playing left back in 4 will be the hardest thing for him to get used to because it’s a pure defensive position BUT it will stand him in good stead when we move to 3-5-2 because a wing back is a hybrid position with some defensive responsibilities but a lot more requirement to get up and down the pitch. That’s when Sibleys energy and ability on the ball will come to the fore. The experience he is getting as a left back will give him the experience he needs in the defensive aspects of the position. So in essence what I’m saying is that Warne is developing him to play left wing back FlyBritishMidland, Crewton and Carnero 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIMBAUD Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 He played very well but he did get done cheaply for the one good chance they squandered when the fella headed over. That said he was a threat going forward all game and used the ball well. Very impressive. Magicman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
