Yeh I think that Libby is good enough, but I also feel he needs something to focus him or free him. He doesn’t seem to be turning his runs into goals or chances as much as he did in the A league. Iirc we often played 352? Letting him play LWB?
On the other hand, from the bits I watched he’s always itching to get forward and pushes the team forward.
And there’s no point stepping on the toes of the players ahead, if there’s a winger out there already.
Are there weaknesses in his game that the manager has mentioned?
I think the problem with his crossing is the game plan. Trying to hit Kosta or even Caputo in the air is a low productivity strategy. And it feels like he’s a bit frustrated about having all these weapons in his locker, but not being able to unleash them as he would like.
Could his weak foot be an issue? Particularly if he’s being encouraged to cut inside and let the winger go to the touch line and stretch the play wide. His left foot is the golden one, so maybe it’s a problem if he’s heading in field?
Anything from fans or the newspapers?
The good news is he does seem to be a valued impact player consistently getting around 20 minutes.
