8 players who never use their weaker foot

#5 Erik Lamela

Erik Lamela

Another Argentine and another one who prefers going for the rabona with his left, rather than try his right. And he has also scored some cracking goals doing that.

Learning his trade at River Plate’s fabled academy, he was coveted by many European clubs. However, it was AS Roma who got him in the end and Lamela honed his abilities further there. He was their star man – he used his left foot like a wand, weaving tricks like they were in abundance like salt in the ocean.

All that trickery, however, seems to have faded away since his move to north London. Except for a few sparks here and there, the left foot of Lamela has hypnotised neither the fans nor the defenders. And given that his right foot is virtually non-existent, he needs to start doing something. And quickly.
