You don’t have to be 6ft4 to be good in the air. But I get your point.
Interesting seeing the pictures from last night after the 2nd goal. And I know it’s hard to judge, but Gibson who I think is still only 17, looked similar in height to Mori, who I think is about 6ft1?
..Mori really attacks the ball, so it’s usually the stride that produces the spring. You’re right, it might not be all about height. Distin and Lescott had that upper body bulk that made it difficult to outjump them. Gibson looks like he has bulk at a young age. He’s impressed as a left sided CB, interesting now to see him at LB. I like him, I like his attitude. He’s certainly a defender, not sure if he’ll offer much going forward.
