Gabriel Agbonlahor v Jermaine Defoe




Gabriel Agbonlahor

Gabriel Agbonlahor       Trumps
Goal Scoring 3
Never a really instinctive finisher or particularly composed in front of goal.
Pace 8
Was rapid in his early days, but gradually piled on the pounds round his waist and slowed down. By the final couple of years it was about all he could do to put his boots on.
Skill 3
Never really a skilled player, he was heavily reliant on his pace.
Technique 6
Decent technique, but nothing outstanding.
Career 3
The guy played for England and set records for Villa, which is far more than he deserved due to his lack of effort. However, he had the ability to do far more and he will no doubt look back on his career with a lot of regrets.

Goal Scoring 8
Always a decent goalscorer, in large part due to his willingness to hit it hard and early from all angles.
Pace 8
Was very quick at his peak, though not lightning, fast enough to give him time and space though.
Skill 4
He was never really going to go on mazy dribbles, so it is difficult to assess his skill, all he wanted was half a yard to shoot.
Technique 8
Excellent technique, which enabled him to get the shots off.
Career 7
Still going, sort of, strong in the SPFL. While it seemed his career was over when he went off to the MLS, he resurrected it and kept it going.
