It's not a measuring stick - it's just that low height is not as important as some might think it is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally a good big ‘un is better than a good little ‘un, but that doesn’t mean the good little ‘un isn’t good. Starting to sound like a tongue twister! Alan Wright was in theory too small to play full back, but he did and to be fair was decent in the air. A mate of mine reckons that smaller players compensate by jumping better and big buggers often don’t make the most of their relative height advantage.

MaVilla Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Just now, VILLAMARV said: We can play these games all day. The fact is if you had a team of 11 players that was equal in everything except height, and you had the choice for them all to be 5ft 2 or 6ft 2, you would choose 6ft 2 every day of the week and twice on Sunday. I agree entirely that it isn't the be all and end all, and there are variances and some excellent players who are short, but the rule of thumb stands, especially for defensive players. The further forward you go up the pitch height becomes less of an issue generally I would agree, but defensively as a "general rule", height is at least a factor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ye, if he is that bad then NOPE To be fair 2, 3 and 4 suggest he could be decent and maybe a club where the expectations were lower he could do well. Would be risky though.

KMitch Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 What was the name of the last failed awful left back we got from Liverpool? The giant lad who looked like Bambi on ice with the ball at his feet. No thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villabromsgrove Posted June 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2019 I've got fed up with browsing clickbait, so I've taken up maths instead. X equals the number of days left in this transfer window .... X = 65 Y equals the number of players both permanent and loans with option to buy, to complete a 25 man squad .... Y = 10. X divided by Y = 6.5 days per signing .... it's going to be an exciting 65 days! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
