Yes, just after Fulham have spanked Man Utd.

You MUST be referring to a player that is left-footed because such things are ONLY said of players that are left-footed. Might it have something to do with the fact that c85% of people are right-footed/handed?
That is correct. Like it is also possible to only have a wand of a left foot. A right foot could never possess that sort of magic.
Underperforming xG by 8 is a wild stat and explains why some Leeds fans have said his finishing is awful.
On the plus side, it means he's getting in the right positions and perhaps have been unlucky. Is there a highlight reel of his misses?
Have you tried PornHub.

Similarly left-footed CBs are 99% more likely to be referred to as “cultured”.

That underperformance is just the sort of thing I imagine would get picked up by our recruitment’s algorithms in terms of identifying a potentially much higher ceiling than is currently evident to the naked eye.
He could of course just be a fundamentally bad finisher but you’d expect that xG to gravitate back in the right direction in time.

Indeed, the differences are sinister.

Indeed. Because we know Todd is usually tucked up by then and no chance he may have a vision we are about to sign the next Messi and try to hijack the deal!

It’s a trend - Bissouma, Lallana, Moder and Gilmour all barn door billys and never got any better
Bring back Bryan wade!!
I wanna caravan for me ma
Just watched a highlights reel his link up play and passing awareness in the final third is superb. He will create bundles of goals. As already stated in the thread his finishing is the area for improvement but that can be coached and he’s still young. A very exciting prospect.

Wow that takes me back.
My sports teacher wouldn't let me play Cricket, Tennis, Rounders or Hockey left handed due to it's reference of being sinister!
Absolutely. And if they can be a left footed centre back who's bit of a unit but relatively mobile and able to bring the ball out quite smoothly, they can be a cultured Rolls Royce. No other position can have that honour.

That’s a good point!Do you not agree though re: Baleba?
I’ve watched him closely and he looks to receive on his left foot in very awkward spots when he should on his right. Likewise he’ll over manoeuvre to play a pass with his left. Wouldn’t say the same of Gilmour, Dunk or Gross for example.

I call BS. There has never been a sports teacher who was a somewhat insane bully. Never.
my grandad was ambidextrous. He wasn't really, he was left handed, but whenever he would write with his left hand he would be hit over the hand with a ruler. and thus he had to write with his non-dominant hand. the invention of the biro in allowed for the left handers of the left-to-right orinetated writing world to avoid (this particular form of) teacher abuse.
