Full Metal Jacquet

[Mystic]

Hughes and Edwards are terrible at a lot of things (negotiations, human relations, contracts, squad balance, not leaving things to the last minute) but when they do pay money to sign a player, you know it's a good one.

From the videos I've seen so far :

Height - check.

When Jurgen Klopp joined Liverpool he identified height as being a key factor for a Premiership centre half.

Matip, Virgil, Ibbu and Q were all in the six foot four, or taller, range. With corners and long throws being the current must-have tactic, height is becoming more important than it was ten years ago.

At only six foot two inches, Jacquet would be useful at fullback but little better than Tyrion Lannister in central defence.

Hopefully six foot five inch Leoni will be fully fit for next season.

He'll be fine with Virgil or Lenoi next to him, and 6 foot 2 is plenty of height if a defender is intelligent.

As for combatting the emphasis on set pieces today, well that's a team thing and not something a couple of centre backs can cover all the time. It would be far better having multiple outfield players that are over 6 foot than having a couple of defenders that are 6 foot 4 with midgets around them.

Tarkowski at 6’ 1” has some pretty good heading statistics. But I do agree since moving to two aerially strong centre backs we’ve had a good aerial defence.
