So a report has just come out on the tallest teams in the Premier League and across Europe. The study was to find if there was a link between a team's height and their performance. They concluded there wasn't. However, they did point out that very short players may struggle to make a name for themselves in the game.
However, a notable point is the PL's tallest sides. Now I'm sure the top 5 sides here would look to take advantage of their height with hoof ball tactics and I could well say they all do play boring, hoof ball and defensive football, or have certainly been known to in the very recent past and still do today as well. These 5 teams are:
1. West Brom
2. Huddersfield
3. Manchester United
4. Crystal Palace
5. Stoke
Hoof ball bus parking is more than a common theme for these 5 sides. Enjoy.

Premier League's tallest sides

No shocks there.
West Bore play all their centre backs at once and surely spend all week practicing set pieces.
Mourinho has always been obsessed with tall players which is why he’s more than happy to pay over the odds for them. Helps them with the bus parking tactics he loves.
Those Neanderthals at Crystal Palace more than likely got De Boer sacked pronto because he had the temerity to actually try and get them to pass the ball as opposed to hoofing it long to Benteke so he can flick it on to Zaha or Townsend.

I'm sure Crouch adds to Stoke's tally quite a bit as well.
