In terms of being able to tackle an opponent, what was my defenders biggest problem? Is my defenders speed or stamina significantly detrimental? Do non-tackling skills (ball control, passing, aerial passing) impact my defenders ability to tackle? Or is it down to the players inexperience?
I don't think it's speed and stamina because national team players have 8 speed and stamina. My belief is the biggest issue is the overall amount of skills as they contribute to the players ability to perform which in this instance undermines the ability to tackle.
