The shape of him
Grant Hanley is a 34-year-old defender at Birmingham and a Scotland international. In 25/26 that meant 28 club appearances and 2,080 minutes. Defending is anticipation as much as tackling: reading the pass before it is played, holding the line, and starting the attack from the back.
The job
Win the individual duels, protect the space behind, and give the team a platform to build from.
