Jonathan Tah has very good pace for a centre-back of his height and build. He can keep up with fast strikers during counterattacks and recovers well when the defensive line is broken.

Tah reacts quickly to loose balls and sudden attacking movements. He reads situations well inside the box, responds fast during defensive transitions, and stays composed when dealing with rebounds and quick passes.

His height gives him a massive advantage in aerial duels. Tah consistently wins headers while defending crosses and corners

Defensively, Tah is very consistent and reliable. He makes clean, well-timed tackles, holds his position well, and performs strongly in one-on-one situations without overcommitting, which helps maintain defensive shape.

Physical strength is one of Tah’s biggest strengths. He easily outmuscles most attackers, dominates shoulder-to-shoulder battles, and is extremely difficult to push off the ball, especially against target men and physical forwards.
