This may sound too basic to be reasonable but; Antony has been at United now for two seasons, I think. He shows absolutely no confidence or inclination to kick the ball with this right foot. Why on earth have we not had specific training sessions with him running down the righthand side of the pitch and crossing the ball with his right foot ?
How long can it possibly take to teach a professional footballer to kick the ball competently with his other foot ? We made my youngest left footed in 4 days when he was 14 months old. A chap, where I live, who is in his late 50s has lost his place on the right hand side of midfield to a youngster* so practiced a bit with his left foot and now plays on the left.
It's so absolutely basic - why are our coaches not addressing the problem ? He's not the only one that would benefit from this training.
Yes Giggs couldn't use his right foot, but he wasn't an inverted winger and it never hampered his game. Most players are predominately one footed, but for Antony and and a couple of others it really hampers their game and we do nothing about it, and it is a very simple problem to solve. I am sure that in one week Antony would be a better play, more productive for the team, and increase is market value when people saw him beat his man and cross with his right foot 5 times in a game.
