Strong in the air but too rash and prone to hurting himself going for headers he has absolutely no hope of winning.

Incredibly rash, which regularly negates his ability to make a good tackle. Really lacks intelligence.

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.

Very strong just needs to learn to engage his brain in order to use his brawn at the right times.

Quick enough to ensure he is not often caught out by balls over the top.

Very good in the air. Surprisingly so for a player known for being good with his feet, he is actually better at heading.

Not the best tackler, it is something he looks to avoid doing if at all possible.

Known for being good with his feet, but his range of passes and vision leave a lot to be desired for a ball playing centre half. He is comfortable being on the ball but that is a long way from being a good passer of the ball.

Is improving in this area each season. No longer a weakness in his game, now he is strong enough to hold his own against most.

Good pace, one of the quicker centre halves, not just in outright pace, but also in acceleration.
