Is that the case though?

Sure we've got quite a few players who are at or just above the 6ft mark.

Leaving aside Zimbo, Trybull and Mclean are decent in the air. Godfrey and Amadou/Tettey must all be over 6 foot. Byram isn't small.

In any event I'm not sure I buy the argument that zonal marking makes it easier for small players. The opposition get a run on them which surely just increases any advantage they may already have. You don't necessary have to be taller than another player to mark them and prevent them getting a header in.
