Bat Fastard Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 We seem to have a team that is set up to play left footed players on the right wing. I understand that this means that they can cut inside and shoot with their stronger foot, but it must also mean that their ability to get to the byline and cross, for others to score, is diminished. Do you think that we are potentially missing a trick here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron-Bcfc Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 I don't think so, if the full backs are up supporting on the overlap there should be enough chances in games to whip the ball in if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky89 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Don't think that's a coincidence, and I don't think letting Ayling go whilst keeping Little and adding Matthews was either. Little and Matthews' pace allows them to go beyond the winger, who with a left foot will naturally be cutting in. I like it. Whilst on the left, I think we are keeping it sure and solid, knowing that both Golbourne and Bryan can hold a defensive line, whilst not having the same sort of flair going forward. All about complimenting players closest to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 A lot of footballers these days can use both feet, and it's a good tactic if you swap them with the right footed winger who is playing on the left wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Our two best crossers of the ball are probably Matthew and Bryan. If we play a 433 or variation upon that, then really you need wingers who'll support the striker and fullbacks who overlap. Which is what we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the mole Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 What's best a right footer playing left wing or a left footer playing right wing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skin Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Not really a fan. Good to switch for periods in the game to unsettle the full backs, but on the whole I feel cutting back to use your favoured foot slows things down and means the striker isn't set for the cross.

Mad Cyril Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Is it just me or does anyone else think it is reasonable to suggest to a professional footballer he does some extra training so maybe he can kick the bloody thing with both bloody feet?? Lewis Hamilton would never get a contract if he could only steer right. Then again he would probably die before finding this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malago Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 I remember Benny playing Jim Brennan at RB and Greg Goodridge on the left wing. That went well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
