Chris Smalling v Vincent Kompany




Chris Smalling

Chris Smalling       Trumps
Heading 8
Strong in the air and can win headers in either box.
Tackling 8
A good, strong tackler, when he is positioned correctly to put one in.
Passing 5
This is the weakest part of his game. He seems to panic on the ball, especially when he has time and space.
Strength 7
Strong, though he can be mentally weak and lose the physical battle by losing his head and putting himself in the wrong place.
Pace 8
Very quick for a centre back.

Heading 7
Strong in the air, though not as strong as he once was, nowadays his legs are clearly not there and his leap is not the same as it used to be.
Tackling 7
Used to be an excellent tackler but his timing is a bit off these days. The mind sees the chance to put a foot in but the body is slower to react.
Passing 8
One thing he still has is his ability on the ball and a good range of passing to allow City to build from the back.
Strength 8
Still strong, though overly reliant on his physicality.
Pace 7
Quick for a centre back but no longer quite as quick as he was. Injuries and age have really taken a toll on him.
