[Albion] Has anyone ever seen Anthony Knockaert's right-foot?

[GJN1]

Cards on table. I love him. He's supremely talented and gives his all for the cause but how can a professional footballer be so totally one-footed?

 

[The Bun Elephant]

Did he not win us a corner around 80 minutes with the only appearance of hes right foot this season so far ?

Diego Maradona did ok.

When you say Knockaert, do you actually mean Izquierdo?

I knew someone would bring that up. Damn. Argument over.

I think it's a confidence thing. Last season he seemed to go down the outside of players much more often. I do worry about having both wingers drifting inside- our full backs aren't able to get forward to provide width as often as in the Championship. With someone of Murray's heading ability we should be putting far more crosses into the box

The same bloke who nicked it has taken Dale Stephens' left too.

You say that but I suspect it was his one-footedness that drove him to drugs...

Grass is a bit long for him to use his right foot too often

if only he'd look to get to the byline more, it would make defenders less comfortable. Premier league defenders know if they keep him on his right foot then he is far less a threat.

We know he can skin players going outside, but seems to lack confidence in doing so.

That said, I thought he played well yesterday, particularly tracking back.

Yep - he used it at OT on Sat and completely over hit a fairly simple pass to lay the ball to Murray to tap in. Love the bloke though, class player.

Our Arjen Robben.

Agreed, but the little lay off to Bruno is pretty effective. I 'd rather he stuck to that option rather thantrust in his swinger.

Paul scholes did ok

Didn't he score with his right foot at wolves?

Strange this the ratio of one footed player criticism of left footed player is closely aligned to the percentage of the population who favour kicking with their right foot.

He took one awful left foot swing last night, which flew miles wide, when he probably had time to take it down and place it with his right.

LOL LOL

Between the two of them the may even learn to walk again. Dale's right and Tony's left

 

[papajaff]

I have never been able to understand the obsessive thinking of some people that it is amazing that a left footed player doesn't use his right foot.

Why not a thread on Stephens, Murray, Bruno etc and the constant strange use of their right foot?
