Eric Bailly v Phil Jones




Eric Bailly

Eric Bailly       Trumps
Heading 8
Very good in the air, though he can attempt to be too forceful and try to win a header he has no chance of getting to, at times.
Tackling 9
His key asset is his tackling, it tends to be excellent. The worry is that he is called upon to use it too often because his positioning can be suspect at times.
Passing 7
Decent enough on the ball to get by. He is not really a ball-playing defender, but he is not going to just panic and boot it up field when given time and space.
Strength 9
Very strong, it aids his tackling as he can use his body to muscle a player into a position he can tackle the ball from them.
Pace 8
Quick, very quick. His recovery pace enables him to cope with most forwards.

Phil Jones

Phil Jones       Trumps
Heading 8
Strong in the air but too rash and prone to hurting himself going for headers he has absolutely no hope of winning.
Tackling 7
Incredibly rash, which regularly negates his ability to make a good tackle. Really lacks intelligence.
Passing 6
He has the ability to be a very decent ball-playing defender but that lack of football intelligence means his passing tends to be poor.
Strength 8
Very strong just needs to learn to engage his brain in order to use his brawn at the right times.
Pace 7
Quick enough to ensure he is not often caught out by balls over the top.
