Eric Bailly v Nicolas Otamendi




Eric Bailly

Eric Bailly       Trumps
Heading 8
Very good in the air, though he can attempt to be too forceful and try to win a header he has no chance of getting to, at times.
Tackling 9
His key asset is his tackling, it tends to be excellent. The worry is that he is called upon to use it too often because his positioning can be suspect at times.
Passing 7
Decent enough on the ball to get by. He is not really a ball-playing defender, but he is not going to just panic and boot it up field when given time and space.
Strength 9
Very strong, it aids his tackling as he can use his body to muscle a player into a position he can tackle the ball from them.
Pace 8
Quick, very quick. His recovery pace enables him to cope with most forwards.

Nicolas Otamendi       Trumps
Heading 8
Strong in the air, it is one of his key attributes.
Tackling 7
He could be an excellent tackler, but he is far too rash at times, which leads to unnecessary cards. It is something he needs to work on as he should pick up far more red cards than he has done and his luck can only hold for so long.
Passing 6
A decent passer but not at the level Guardiola would prefer.
Strength 8
Good strength, very rarely bullied by a forward in that respect.
Pace 7
Can be beaten for pace, which leads to rash challenges and pulls at times.
