But Foden didn't, instead he managed to become the best LW in that season and that's why Phil plays for City and Palmer plays for Chelsea..
Bobb is young player, I get what Pep's doing with him..
When you are left footed, it's easy to play RW. get ball, cut inside, a lot of space to use. Nothing new and difficult, do what you were doing at academy, what was your natural position since like 6-7 years old. But there is little room for improvement, there is no challenge and therefore you can't improve player like that.
LW is different, small spaces, not that easy to cut inside, you have to overcome challenges and find out weaknesses you had, which you never thought about..
But if player manages to work a lot, train a lot, think a lot and eventually improve and deliver stable results, it means that he will be more useful as a RW later, cause he will have experience of difficult position and using small spaces..
Imagine if Pep played Foden his natural position from the beginning.. Would he be the same player he is now ? I don't think so. That hard life and Pep's exercises, made him stronger..
Cause City is the treble-winner team. This kind of team needs not only good players, but the best ones. The best ones are crafted by these kind of lessons.
oh and going to keep calling him Docu now
