Libby a full game in a 1-1 draw. Pezella came off at 66 mins, so Liberato may have slipped back into the LWB spot then. Empoli had 3 CBs and stay 10th. Next a trip to the San Siro to play Milan.
I think Old and/or Singh (if not central for the AWs) still start down the left for the national team. But hey if neither of those players are fit or in form, yeah Cacace there and Sutton/FDV/Wilkins at LB is an option. No harm Libby getting some playing time in midfield at such a high level.
With the AWs now apparently set on a back 4, Libby likely won't be bombing forward so much against the bigger teams, which could be a shame, as he's often one of the few goal scoring threats. Though his crossing is often poor, and his assist stats ain't flash since leaving NZ.
