Despite being right-footed , Jon Flanagan can play comfortably at both LB and RB .
Flanagan has earned numerous plaudits for his style of play since his breakthrough into the Liverpool first team in November 2013 ; most notably , the World Cup-winning former Brazil captain and full-back Cafu heralded Flanagan as his `` successor '' , applauding his `` speed , strength and determination '' and stating he `` has everything required to be one of the best full-backs in the world '' .  This has led to fans dubbing Flanagan as `` the Scouse Cafu ''
