Ghost of Clough Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 8 minutes ago, Anag Ram said: I would argue that it’s 4-2-4 at the moment. I can’t really see how NML and Dobbin can be seen as midfield players in the way they play. We therefore need two strong defensive mids in that type of lineup. Bielik’s return would help. Who to put with him is another question. If we revert to 4-3-3 when Knight comes back it gives Sibley more chance as a left sided midfield player. I personally can't see beyond Warne playing 2 up top. Which means the current 4222/4231/442 or switching back to 352. The latter is what I'm expecting Warne to recruit into in January.

I would agree which doesn't suit Sibley, unless it's 4231 then he up against McGoldrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some say as a number ten in a 4231 whilst others talk about the mythical three man midfield of Bird, Knight and Sibley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wherever he can drive forward with the ball at his feet through the middle of the pitch, without too much defensive responsibility.

RoyMac5 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Liked Sibley's performance tonight, particularly in the second half. Commo (in the studio, forgot his name) on Sky really rated him too. Steve How Hard? and Premier ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuffolkRam Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Usually glass half full merchant with Sibley but I thought he was off it last night, almost cost us a goal on 80minutes when he didn’t follow Elliot into the box allowing him to get a shot away.

Mr Tibbs Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I thought he did really well, in a position he was quite clearly uncomfortable in. Ramarena, Ramifications and Sparkle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well why else would he be on the pitch ? The thing Rice does very well is win the ball back and play it simply to one of his team mates. And that's fine, you want somebody doing that. The problem is, we've spent most of the time playing him alongside Kalvin Phillips who by and large does the exact same thing, so you just end up with Rice and Phillips passing sideways to each other. One of those guys passing it to the likes of Mount and Bellingham would be much more effective IMO. But Southgate seems so worried about his centre halves making mistakes, that he seems to want to play an extra centre half and 2 sitters in front of them. kevinhectoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does get a bit OTT, but probably because we know how good he **can** be. Similar with Bird, the skill ceiling is incredibly high but we don't see it as often as we maybe should.

Chester40 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 1 hour ago, Jimbo Ram said: Why are we singling Sibley out for this level of scrutiny ? He is the most erratic of our players. At times he was the only Derby player willing to actually go head-to-head with the opposition instead of just turning back and playing it backwards. He looks stronger, was finding lots of space and generally is a home grown lad who everyone wants to succeed. He also played some very clumsy passes, delivered poor last balls and shinned an absolute shocker of a shot over the bar. Hard to know if he's the real deal or has an inflated reputation where fan's heart are talking more than the head. The Scarlet Pimpernel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
