    I am concerned about his slouching position, surely for an elite athlete, he would know to sit up straight and not put unnecessary strain on his body

    What you can't see is Jim sat on the opposite side isle seat, row behind, waiting to scope out his arse.

    No, but it does seem to be something we've tried to be consistent about lately and it's gone horribly wrong when we didn't.
    Probably depends how one-footed the players are out something. Anyway, Bindon has played on that side but he's also barely kicked a ball in months, so he'd be better off finding a new loan where he actually plays.

    I think generally defenders prefer to play on one side or t'other, regardless of strongest foot. For example, Van Dijk and Guehi are both right-footed but tend to play on the left.

    The question about picking Cunha is, assuming he prefers the right, whether Milenkovic is comfortable on the left (you'd expect the senior player to switch), which would also mean that Savona doesn't have the more senior defender nearest him.

    It also kinda depends on who is defending outside the CH, and who is running at them. A left back, on the left hand side can theoretically defend the byline better, and a left sided centre-half can cover that channel run better. But if someone like Saka is running at them, and likely to come inside on his left, you might be better with a right sided centre-half.

    If you are playing a lampost, for heading and kicking duty, then it often doesn't matter which foot - because any running at them is just carnage.....so you need the full/wing back, or the DM, to cover that.

    You might put square pegs in round square holes, and then some cheating opposition coach play inverted wingers, and look for the inside space.

    On the whole, better to just put a midfielder there.
