I am not one for picking on certain players, but I am gradually getting hacked of with his lack of ability on his weaker foot. The amount of times he has had an opportunity to drive forward or whip a ball in with his right foot but decided to cut back on to his left is uncountable. Collins and others strikers have faced the brunt of most hibs fans but the delivery they have received has been ridiculously poor. If he had a right foot we would have scored more goals this season without a doubt, He works hard I give him that but end product is piss poor!

I agree to an extent with this thread (theres no excuse imo for a player not to be able to use both feet), but theres far bigger problems in in the squad at the moment than the ability of a left footed player to use his right foot. Some of the players seem to struggle at times with their favoured foot....

Tbf it may be bad timing but the boy is only asking a question. You really think his asking of such a question will have an impact on Stevenson's game/life? We are all in this together but he's only asking why he is so reluctant to use his right foot. Calm down.

Also whilst you mention Fletcher I offer that he still refuses to use that right foot which cost Sunderland dear In the cup final this March.

The point is this is not the time for negativity. We've had enough of that. The fans being negative does affect the players, and threads like these can affect the fans.

I agree with your sentiment but does someone coming on here and saying whatever really influence a game?

Usually for every post made on .net there is another one saying the complete opposite so if any player is reading it they'll usually get a mixed bag of views.

If players have any sense they should just avoid fans forums, facebook, twitter etc on the day of a game anyway.

For the record I agree with you about Stevenson, I also share your opinion on our best CH. I just think it's a bit of a case of :kettle: that you're having a go at anybody for singling out any player when you dae it yersel. Me I'll support the team on the park, whoever it is. I'll keep my ire for the person responsible for dragging this club tae where it is, the person who has been running it.

The annoying thing is that he can actually use his right foot, he just doesn't.

In the rare occasions he has used it (maybe only 4 or 5 since breaking into the team all those years ago) he's managed to cross or pass the ball quite competently.

Did he not shoot with it against Killie and almost score this season as well?

Maybe it's just me, but if Lewis is 'cutting back' on his left rather than driving forward and whipping a ball in with his weaker right foot, he'd have to be playing on the right wing rather than the left? Admittedly this was the case when he was at right back though.

I admit he hasn't exactly light this season up so far but that isnt an excuse for the amount of bull**** he recieves or anyone else. Good spl players suddenly become below average when they join hibs for some reason unless they get the ball rolling straight away duly because the demorilizing abuse of us the fans if we are not impressed. Maybe if we encouraged instead of humiliating we as a club would move forward but sadly I doubt that "

Maradona in his prime didn't have a right foot. Would he not be of use to us right now? Or Steven Fletcher? (Although I remember him getting similar abuse on here for this).

The only time that Stevenson's lack of a right foot was of any significance was when some clown decided to play him at right back. Quite why we insist on picking faults with our best players I do not know. His left foot has rarely let us down and he is very good at getting it on to his better foot. Let's just leave it there.

Of far more concern is what a guy who was once on the books of Man City does when he has the ball on his good foot.

But we're in a hole and they're all we've got right now so for about 5 days could we not just try to get behind them?

Nothing has changed that's the problem. slowly declining. I like many are past the stage now of blaming the fans ( I openly admit I may come across as a hypocrite) now berate me as you would a politician.

Why is it that only the left-footers are given criticism for not using their weaker foot?

There are hundreds of right-footed professional footballers in Britain that refuse to use their left foot because their right is so much stronger, and nobody brings them to task over it.

What is with this discrimination? Even Messi and Robben get slated for it :hilarious

I am not too fond of Lewis as a player for Hibs, but he's been fairly solid recently and while I agree he is one footed it's not really the time to be raising this issue right before the biggest game of the season. It's been discussed at length before and if you dislike Lewis as a footballer you will be hounded for HATING him anyway, if I were you I'd just delete the thread and set it sink to the bottom.

We are talking about Stevenson here, Not fletcher, Ronaldo messi or any one else. I just feel due to him not using his right foot a lot of opportunities have been wasted. He is a an extremely average player that is why he divides opinion, For those who feel hibs should be a top four club, he is not good enough and for those who are happy to finish bottom six as long as we stay up ,he is good enough

Without a doubt, all we have to do is stop the abuse and maybe Lewis will grow a second left foot in addition to being able to backheel every ball with his right at Pirlo levels of accuracy.

Based on what exactly? Im looking forward to seeing Booth coming back as reports from his time at Raith are positive and we do need someone for that position, but he really struggled first time around. It sounds like he will be given a chance, so its up to him to make it at SPL level. Stevensons best position is in midfield so there isnt really any competition between the two either.

John Rankin wasn't a "top 4" player either according to many Hibs fans.
