Phil Jones v Aymeric Laporte
Phil Jones
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.
Phil Jones
Aymeric Laporte
Heading
8
Good in the air, well able to hold his own and win a large percentage of balls in the air.
Tackling
8
A strong tackler, it is just his rashness that holds him back at times.
Passing
8
He was brought in because he is very good on the ball and capable of spotting and playing a pass.
Strength
7
Good strength, though the strongest forwards are capable of bullying him.
Pace
8
Surprisingly quick, clocked as Man City's fastest top speed in the early weeks of the season. Though his acceleration is not as quick.
