Victor Lindelof v Phil Jones
Victor Lindelof
Heading
8
Strong in the air, but he does not seem to do well with physical battles to win the header.
Tackling
7
Decent tackler, but not outstanding, he tries to win the ball by nicking it off the player or intercepting it, rather than a tackle as such.
Passing
8
Very good on the ball, better than he has shown so far in his Man Utd career.
Strength
7
It is not so much that he is weak, he is a strong lad, but he does not seem to relish the physical battle.
Pace
7
Good pace, enough to ensure he is not left floundering in a forward's wake, though not enough for it to be noticeable how quick he is.
Victor Lindelof
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.
