I wondered how long it would take for "one footed" to be levelled at him.

He's no more one footed than any right footed player in our squad but I've noticed that lefties always get tagged as "one footed" by fans.

Didn’t do Giggs any harm

It allows cork and Westwood more space and time to pick passes and puts less of the onus on mee and tarkowski to be the playmakers like it has been this season! McNeil has the qualities of a fantastic player and think he will be a real asset, my only criticism (although small) is that he is very one footed, and seems to only turn to his left side which could allow him to be found out by teams
Seems like the most two-footed player in our squad to me.

That’s why I’m saying it’s not that big of a deal just something I’ve noticed in the last two games! Maybe it is more noticeable in left footers

His willingness to run at people changes the whole dynamic of the team and as has been said it's got us playing on the front foot in the last two games which has created problems for the opposition - as opposed to the primary tactic earlier in the season of inviting teams onto us - which we were not resilient enough to turn into points.

Really not sure what was going through Brady's head last night if he couldn't think of a less extreme method than that of breaking up the attack. This has played right into McNeil's hands though. The shirt is his for the next two league games and if he can continue to produce similar performances then Brady, when next available, is going to have to bide his time.
