SM001 9 starts out of 28 is not “nearly half”.
He’s right-footed, when has Klopp ever not played with inverted wingers? It’s generally not the done thing nowadays.
Him playing there sometimes for Leipzig seems as much to do with them not actually having a specialist alternative in that role. It’s not his favoured position - If he’s been brought in for that by Liverpool it’d be strange and a sub-optimal solution, like Sancho supposedly helping to solve Man Utd’s issues at RW.
