Japhet Tanganga Scout Report

Japhet Tanganga, strutting his stuff at Millwall, showcases a style of play focused on defensive resilience. As a centre-back, Tanganga is notably adept at ball recovery, sitting well above most of his peers, which plays a crucial role in Millwall's defence. His recoveries are strong, and he's particularly effective in breaking up opposition play, reflecting his robustness and anticipation on the pitch. However, his ability to retain and distribute the ball is an area for growth, as his progressive passing and pass accuracy metrics are relatively low, suggesting a room for improvement in playing out from the back. His involvement in aerial duels is another aspect that doesn't quite hit the mark, which might raise questions about his effectiveness in handling set pieces and aerial threats. With a penchant for making tactical fouls, as indicated by a high number of yellow cards, Tanganga's game is seasoned with an assertive edge, although this occasionally borders on recklessness. Operating mainly within the defensive third, he's a critical cog in the defensive structure, but a more well-rounded skill set could elevate his influence farther up the pitch.
