Tony Adams v Laurent Koscielny




Tony Adams

Tony Adams       Trumps
Positioning 10
Adams developed an incredible positional sense working under George Graham and it carried him through the end of his career with Arsene Wenger. It was very rare he was caught out.
Heading 9
Very strong in the air, he was big and strong and attacked the ball well.
Strength 8
Was strong enough to hold off most attackers.
Ability 8
Showed he had a lot more ability than he had been able to display in his early years when Wenger took over. All the taunts about being a donkey soon dissolved after he showed his stuff.
Tackling 9
Always showed great timing in the tackle.

Positioning 8
Very good positioning, which has helped him a lot throughout his career. The problem is that he is often positioning himself to cover for a partner alongside him, rather than worrying about where he should be.
Heading 7
Good in the air, but not great for a central defender. Certainly not the worst though.
Strength 7
Strong enough to attackers a problem, but it is not one of his main assets.
Ability 9
A very good ball playing defender, extremely good on the ball.
Tackling 9
His timing in the tackle is exceptional.
