I know this might be a strange idea......

.... but wouldn't our crossing and general wing-play be better if we played.....

Orlandi (left-footed)......... on the left wing
Lopez (left-footed)......... on the left wing

and

Lua Lua (right-footed)......... on the right wing
Buckley (right-footed)......... on the right wing

.... rather than, in each case.... the opposite. Am I missing something?

 

[ees complicated no?]

Can't LuaLua pretty much use both feet?? (yes his right is stronger I know)

On the evidence of tonight, not really. His left foot crossing is consistently worse than his right foot crossing.

To be fair the pitch was pretty wet from the rain so im sure he wouldn't be able to do the normal things he does when it's dry.

No not just you m8. This left on the right thing works when the wide men cut in and have a pop with their ''better'' foot (10.000 grand a week they should both be good) But we don't seem to this . And the perfect example we should try left on the left and right on the right was Saturday when we got round the back a few times but the quality of crosses was shocking...

Watching Brighton play it's evident that the wingers were cutting inside a lot, with the full backs overlapping. Maybe this was the plan, to allow them to cut in on their better foot...

Lopez is a right winger

Lopez is right footed
