Ashley Young v Fabian Delph
Ashley Young
Pace
7
Slowing down now as he ages, was very quick but is just quick now.
Crossing
8
Has the ability to cross the ball really well on his right foot. He can be very hit and miss though and is as prone to making a mess of it as he is to putting it into a good area.
Tackling
6
Young does give his all but he often tackles like the lightweight winger he is. Or rather was.
Technique
7
He does have very good technique, but it seems to be affected by his age as well and is fading.
Heading
5
Weak in the air, lacking height and power to win headers.

Fabian Delph
Pace
7
Good pace, but nothing special.
Crossing
5
One of the weaker aspects of his game when playing out wide.
Tackling
5
Too rash to make a good tackle, even though he is fully capable of doing so. Everything about the way he plays is affected by his rashness.
Technique
7
Delph has really good technique, if only he could stay calm enough to make use of it.
Heading
6
On the short side and struggles in the air because of it.
