Posted elsewhere on this topic a list of right footed left backs so for the hard of thinking i've added them to this post.

Crazy, I know but hear me out. Tav is exceptional at driving forward. He could cut in and shoot across the keeper (eg. that Hibs free kick). He actually does most of his damage these days tearing through the middle from deep. He can cut in, create space for one of our many left sided wingers and slide balls from in to out all day long. Flanagan is a right back, limited going forward but solid defensively and will surely be more comfortable on the right. And, before you call me a tit for even suggesting this, consider the right footed players who have excelled as a left back before hitting the keyboard.

GA1972 9,494 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The notion of taking one of our best players out of position to then leave us potentially weak at both full back positions is madness. Most of the players mentioned in the OP were also better than pretty decent on their weaker left foot which Tav isn’t even a little bit. A lot of the players mentioned in the OP also weren’t left backs, just players who occasionally played there out of necessity if there was suitable cover at right back In a game where we’re starting with Jones and Arfield behind Morelos I do think Ojo could be better than what we have at left back given his athletic gifts if he can get stuck in, particularly in the OF against that rat Forrest to keep him quiet or against a quick winger in Europe but it isn’t something we’re able to try as we just can’t afford the gamble if he ends up being complete pish out there. Doubt Liverpool would be happy with that either. We must sign a proper starting Left back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on a hiding to nothing as it is without mentioning some haddie who wasn’t very good when asked to play left back. I wasn’t suggesting Tav as a solution to our left back problem. I was wondering if it might have been a short term solution until we get a decent LB given how shit our options currently are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
