Welcome Abdukodir Khusanov

It's funny, isn't it? Johnny, Rúben, Akanji, Aké, — if you look it up, not one of them is short. They're all six foot at least. And yet they are not dominant on high balls. Not infrequently, we get beaten on corners and dead balls into the box, and it creates some chaos for Ed or Stef to have to deal with.
I confess I yearn for the days of Dave Watson. But that's just my generation. The guy was like a rock. Just don't ask him to play out from the back like a midfielder…

Some are tall but just don't have physicality. If you look at players like Dave Watson and Vinny, they would go through people to head the ball and attackers couldn't manoeuvre them out of the way. We miss that.
