Hi there. I just follow Newcastle United in recent years, so please correct me if I'm wrong
so, there's a bit of confusion to me when reading newspaper from last year. I remember Newcastle center back pairing then is Schar - Burn, then they sign Botman, and there's much news about finding right sided center back because both botman and burn are left-footed, which confuse me
As far as I am aware, for years, Newcastle has right footed center back pairing in Schar-Lascaelles-Ciaran Clark, and seems nobody asking who's the left sided center backs
I myself, followed Leicester City And Manchester United for some years, and they do have both right footed center back pairing. There's no news nor commotion about Left sided center backs. All those right footed center back just filling the left center back slots without much fuss (Johnny Evans, Harry Maguire, Eric Baily, Victor Lindelof, etc)
So my question is, what's so wrong about left-footed player filling right center back slots, while right footed player can just fill left center back slots without much fuss?
And even Last year, when Schar is unavailable, Newcastle are so reluctant to put either Burn or Botman who's I felt, is clearly better than Jamal Lascaelles.
