Based on the evidence, I think it's pretty hard to say that he has a weak foot. In reality I don't know

Right is his stronger foot (took only one penalty for Croatia with his left and he missed it) but he is possibly most bipedal player out there. He always liked playing on the left side more because he could cut inside and shoot with his right, like reverse Robben. But his left is maybe 5-10% weaker.
Edit: Scored one penalty with his left for Inter actually (and his right).

Sess has been solid but time to give Ivan a go against Wolves.
Perisic bags that 1v1 that Sess had against Mendy.

He seemed to take time to settle in today, but those last corners were our best set piece balls in some time.

And Perisic gives us what we haven't had for years can throw long at throw ins into the box , adds another threat.

Ironically he scored half his goals last season for Inter heading/finishing from corners. Now he’s whipping them in with both feet. I said when he signed way back in June we’d sign no one better but that’s how much I rate him, not an indictment on Bissouma or Richy. He’s the best in the world in his role and it’ll become clear to others very soon.

Experienced pro, same as when Davids and Naybet came in, they were so valuable to us just to give the younger guys a bit of experience

Yea I noticed that too, real leader been there and done it guy who they will listen to.
He’s never going to explode. He has ok movement but he is not particularly quick and not particularly good at anything. I saw his stats from yesterday, he lost 89% of his duels which is horrific, he gave the ball away 9 times and had no positive stats. Wing backs are an area we are sorely lacking in, Emerson and sess are not the answer. Fine play them against the weaker sides like Southampton to rotate them, but please don’t play thrm against teams like Chelsea. I saw Udogie played against James in pre season and held its own, just hope he adapts to the league as his pace and physicality is exactly what we need.
I just wish we could somehow find James quality wing backs. He was incredible yesterday

I think the same. He will improve, but I'd question if we'll ever see a player who's considered a baked in starter for a really top team
He just is an incredible player. You could play in any (and I mean any) defensive position, RWB and probably as a defensive minded midfielder, and he'd thrive. He's got the lot. Very physical, athletic, good touch, great delivery, good temperament (he never seems phased) - he's got World Class potential
One thing is clear. He has to start the 'bigger' games, for his mentality as much as anything else.
When he came on he just took everything in his stride whereas Sessegnon shit the bed again. He looked panicky and didn't seem to cope with Chelsea's pressure - ok he wasn't alone in that but until he matures and learns how to deal with these types of games, he can't start them.

I dont think hes fit enough to start yet maybe? Or at least what Conte deems to be fit enough which as we know is a high bar.
What hes doing behind the scenes in conversations with players seems to be just as important atm. Obvisouly I want to see him play more though
