Well said.I think left and right is becoming more and more academic in football. The old "left footers on the left and right footers on the right" is slowly being consigned to football history. It started with people like Henry cutting in from the left, now Salah and Mahrez cut in from the right and it's creeping into full backs too... You only have to look at how Cancelo has started the season at left back for Man City for further evidence.
Like many on here, a right footer at LB or LWB doesn't feel right but Jake has been much better there than he was last season at right back. Caprice cut a frustrating figure at times last year as he constantly checked back but with the option of cutting in or a foot race outside, he's having a better season.
His pace and dynamism fits MT's profile for what he wants out wide, and it's great that he can be amenable where he plays. The type of squad player any team would want in league Two.
