    Before he even started playing well i thought he was right footed, but it seems most of his good finishes have been with his left foot.

    Does he even have a weak foot?

    He looks pretty decent in all aspects of his game with both feet tbh.

    Is Best just simply the best and doesn't have a weak foot?

    Two footed. He's comfortable with both.

    He's right footed. Just a natural finisher, on either side.

    To my surprise, Pardew said Best is the best finisher at the club. I thought Ba was....

    Ba get's more headers etc and is a better player, he's just saying Best is the best in a one-on-one.

    I always thought right foot. While he's certainly comfortable enough with his left his technique seems to be a lot better on his right side particularly when he's shooting.

    EDIT: I meant right foot's the stronger foot <doh>

    If you watch his short passes and stuff, he favours the right. The West Ham hat trick probably confused people though.

    Threads like this I can live with.

    As others have said, he's right footed, but from what I've seen his left seems just as strong.

    Right footed. I'm going to be arguable and say that Shola when in form is the best finisher. Can be clinical when he wants to be

    Agree with this. When he shoots, it's usually bang in the bottom corner (Tottenham, Chelsea from 25 yards, etc.) it's just that he usually let's the ball roll under his feet first <doh>

    Yeah and falls over usually haha. He is another one who is comfortable with both feet. Hence the goal v Tottenham

    Ameobi on his day is a mid table striker and when he wants to his finishing is clinical. However, being a Toon fan, you'd expect him to want to have his day more often.

    Anyone who doubts Lover has lost his pace, watch the build up to the 2nd goal. Fantastic acceleration.

    Two footed, but I'd go with right.

    Right is stronger, thats why all the SSN pundits were jizzing themselves when he got a hat-trick all with his left.

    Said himself he scored with his "weaker foot" after the West Ham match.
