Jimbo Ram Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 3 minutes ago, reverendo de duivel said: Isn't it obvious? By playing a left footer on the left side, and a right footer on the right, you open up more natural passing angles out of defense? You can spread the play wide to both flanks and up the middle without adjusting your body position, therefore making the pass easier and quicker. Playing the opposite side makes a third of available passes much harder, seeing as you'd have to open your body shape out so telegraphing the pass. We don’t make many quick passes do we ?

gccrowdpleaser Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 This won't happen. Too much interest in him elsewhere. Can't see Fulham or Brentford taking him if they go up. Only one will so the other will get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All considered Ball playing CBs on the left side. Stones isn’t - the others yes. 1) Much much better players. 2) They have top quality players around them. 3) The teams they play against tend not to press them that high up the pitch. Redo your list but with ball playing centre half’s who are right footed, playing on the left of the centre backs in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S8TY Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 10 hours ago, rammieib said: Huge difference for me. Look how we play with short goal kicks. A right footer will instantly take their first touch back towards goal, a left footer doesn’t etc. For me it’s very essential we see a left footer there. It makes a big difference especially when playing out from the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 This conversation shows the lack of commitment from some footballers imo. You should be absolutely able to play out with both feet regardless of level if you’re professional. Obviously you’re more comfortable with your stronger foot but if the manager asks you to open up your body to the angles on the left then any decent ball playing cb should be able to train themselves to do it.

They are all top players who play football from the back on that side, ultimately we won’t know of the best players as that do that in this league or other as we’re not scouts, but the point is it doesn’t matter what foot they are as long as they can do it. Tomori is a great example of that in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomori is a great example of that in the championship. Your reference is a defender playing for Chelsea probably with a £15 million price tag on his head. A left footer is essential in a ball playing side. We’re not Rowett or Warnock where I would agree it doesn’t matter. Jake Buxton developed into a decent passer of the ball but it helped he was left footed. It allowed his diagonal pass to be hit earlier as the ball is always naturally on the left side.

We brought in Shackell as a left footed centre back to replace bucko and look how that ended. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The year we had Keogh and Buxton it was a very good blend with Keogh bringing the ball out of defence, while Buxton had the range to play longer diagonal balls to our wingers. I've laboured this point before but Leeds, West Brom and Brentford all very good at the more direct passing to get up the pitch quicker. Something we need to get better at.
