It is, but I don’t think he is quite as two-footed as Kev or Phil, which puts them in that category.Rodri's left foot is pretty useful

As posted a few times, I actually *know* he’s not fully fit and taking injections to get through games.Well you believe Haaland is unfit despite him playing 90 minutes almost every game for two months so what do we know.
I mean to use your parlance, that is ‘demonstrably false’.And he’s 20 years old. He is still developing and improving his play with his weak foot.
Nothing you just posted demonstrates my assertion that he is 20 (fact) and still developing and improving his play with his week foot is false.I mean to use your parlance, that is ‘demonstrably false’.
In fire first half De Bruyne flicked him in and he actually let the ball run out of play trying to get his left foot around it rather than take it on with his right foot, for which he apologised to De Bruyne and the bench.
In the second half he was played in on his right foot with Haaland looking for a first time cross to tap in and he ran around the ball to get it onto his left foot for a floated cross they easily defended.
As said I have high hopes and think he has a huge chance of taking the Silva role long term, but my concern obviously is that he makes Antony looks two footed.
That’s a bit disingenuous.The flick from Kev deceived everyone. It carried on spinning and the wind gave it a shove . I’d imagine Bibb thought he had that well under control until it went off on its own accord.I mean to use your parlance, that is ‘demonstrably false’.

Well yes as that’s the only frame of reference we have. You say he is improving on his weaker foot but we have zero actual evidence for that and only factual evidence showing him going out of his way to avoid using it.Nothing you just posted demonstrates my assertion that he is 20 (fact) and still developing and improving his play with his week foot is false.
You listed two incidents that happened in a single football match.
You are using isolated evidence to make a point that doesn’t even make sense when applied to the larger population of top level players, as I outlined in my initial response.Well yes as that’s the only frame of reference we have. You say he is improving on his weaker foot but we have zero actual evidence for that and only factual evidence showing him going out of his way to avoid using it.
Even your main point can be seen from both sides, you say he’s only 20, the other way to look at it is that he’s a 20 year old professional footballer who won’t use his right foot….hell, how many players get into an academy, let alone out of an academy without being able to actually use both feet.
Ambipedal show off…
