Great player, I love his game and his attitude. But it's clear that opposing sides are targeting him with high balls and crosses to his side of goal. So - is Perry Ng too short to play at centre back? Discuss.
Probably our MOTM yesterday so, no for me
it isn't unusual for teams to have a shorter player in a back 3.we certainly look better with him there than we ever did with the 3 of Morrison, flint and Nelson.
almost everyone plays a back 3 these days and not many teams have 3 giants at the back.
also he's not exactly short, probably 5'10 at least
He's not too short. He's not there for that anyway. If he's the one going for headers predominantly then we have a problem in terms of players not understanding their roles in the team. Obviously he is going to have to contest high balls from time to time, the same he would as a fullback tucking in when the ball is on the other side. If other teams were targeting him then it would be because he is isolated in a1v1 aerial battle. That would be morisons problem. He's almost 6ft anyway, so i suppose the question should be whether or not he is good enough at challenging defensive headers.
One of the most effective centre backs recently for CCFC was that Darcy Blake
About 5 foot 5
It doesn't help that Drameh isn't exactly great in the air as well.
He’s the same height as Jagielka, Ake and Ben Mee, all who’ve had success in the premier league.
