Phil Jones v Chris Smalling




Phil Jones

Phil Jones       Trumps
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.

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.
