Thing with Tino is, if I had a criticism of him as RB it was that his delivery with his supposedly stronger right foot was so poor, his left seems like a magic wand in comparison. It's all very strange. I wonder what Hall's right foot is like if roles reversed.

I think that has to have just been a form thing. It doesn't make any sense that his delivery is better with his weaker foot. 

 

True, but his current form (in terms of delivery) is lightyears better with his left.

He wouldn’t cross it with his left on at least two occasions v West Ham. Less than a week later he’s put a ball in that Murphy won in the air for Isak to smash into the net in the cup final. IYAM that’s the result of Mad Dog drilling the shit out of him at Benton for three days :cuppa:

I think the difference is, when Tino is on the right, he is trying not to end up in the space that is Murphy's, so the right attacking corner/flank and therefore he tends to drift in or realises he's in the wrong spot and panics to a degree. And a lot of his right foot crosses are over hit.
Whereas on the left with Barnes (and Gordon when available) tending to cut in from the left, Tino needs to fill that left attacking corner and the value of the quick cross/ball into the centre.

good analysis. it would be interesting to see how tino fares next season if we do end up signing an inverted RW as expected
