He hasn't started the last 3. He started in the league cup and in the last league match were he played for an hour. Before that he's played less than 20 mins. He'll get a decent amount of mins due to the amount of games but isn't first choice.

By the way, it is irrelevant whether he is first, second or third choice if City do not want to sell.

In the January window we need a LWF that Frank actually rates and is willing to play, because it's obvious now (and fairly) that he doesn't rate any of Johnson, Tel or Odobert as a serious starting option.

But if you are looking for a LWF I know of this experienced South Korean who has now scored 8 goals in 8 matches
 
Still thinks he looks weak and looses the ball in dangerous situations. Second goal he gave he ball away that caused the counter and then Spence also decided to give the ball away..

Yeah. He's more like Kulusevski or Bergvall in that regard compared to say Maddison. More direct, higher risk, whereas Maddison is more secure

Weird how I don't think I've ever heard anyone say the same thing about a right footed player.
As a left footer I saw my right footed peers literally fall on their arse trying to use their left foot.
Playing as a left back in school, the only leftyin the class, I was dropped because my teammates couldn't grasp that they should to pass to my other foot. Teacher said it was easier to put in a rightie than teach the whole team.
They removed from the coaching role next season.

I was saying moore needs to learn to use his left, more than a year ago.
Thought it would help his game.

George best was right footed and practiced with his left so much it became his stronger foot.

My 7 year old is quite the talent, and from day one I've told him to use both feet. Seeing that he was a couple of levels above most others in his age group, I told him that every other week in traing, he's only allowed to use his left foot. A year has passed, and now there's no difference. He doesn't even have a preference himself!
 
It is surprising when you see how limited some pros are with their "wrong foot", I'm sure I read in Steve Peyyman's first book that when he was a kid Spurs spent one day a week with players practicing with the weaker foot. Looking at old footage of Spurs in 60/70's teams most players appeared to be competent with both feet, I know it was a slower game and "the press" wasn't a tactic back then.
I've followed our youth football for many years and notice that virtually all the players are good on both feet but struggle when stepping up when playing against mens teams, it's probably down to pace, organisation and physicality of opponents and the obsession with possession in the game. At development level they are encouraged to be positive rather than play it safe.

Waddle famously said he used to train with just a sock on his strong foot to force him to use his weaker one. Not sure how true that story is though..

🤔
Interestingly I think he also said that as a trainee he was weak on his left foot and that it wasn't until he broke into the first team (still a kid at 17) that he was properly coached to become strong on both pegs.
