Luke Shaw v Ashley Young




Luke Shaw

Luke Shaw       Trumps
Pace 8
Good pace, when fully fit. For a while he did carry too much timber and it severely affected his speed, but that seems to have gone now for good. Hopefully.
Crossing 7
Decent crosser, though not top class. A lot of the time he seems to rush it and not look up before putting the ball across.
Tackling 7
A very good tackler, though a little rash at times, as he tries a little too hard.
Technique 8
Excellent technique, like most that graduate through the Southampton academy.
Heading 7
Good in the air, able to hold his own against most widemen.

Ashley Young

Ashley Young       Trumps
Pace 7
Slowing down now as he ages, was very quick but is just quick now.
Crossing 8
Has the ability to cross the ball really well on his right foot. He can be very hit and miss though and is as prone to making a mess of it as he is to putting it into a good area.
Tackling 6
Young does give his all but he often tackles like the lightweight winger he is. Or rather was.
Technique 7
He does have very good technique, but it seems to be affected by his age as well and is fading.
Heading 5
Weak in the air, lacking height and power to win headers.
