  1. the answer is they have to be left footed, rare in itself. the good left footers don't want to play defense, so the big guys are too slow for LB/RB, leaves only some specific players that aren't Left Wingers but are good on offense and excel on defense

  2. I am a goalkeeper, but when I play outfield, I play LB, LWB, LM and LW. Why?.. Well bizarrely enough, my strongest foot is my right; although I can control, dribble, pass and shoot with my left, the main reason is because my vision and my mentality is stronger in the game when i play on the left side than I am on the right side of the pitch. I'm a lot more comfortable playing on the left and everyone presumes I'm left footed. I guess outward crosses to the box is better but I can do that no problem 😊 and going converted to shoot is no problem either.
