Looks like they are measuring them over short distances: "The speed in kilometers per hour (km/h) for a given frame is based on the previous 15 frame-to-frame speeds." So doesn't surprise me a small nippy guy would win. Over 100m however, someone like Lukaku or Pogba would win I think. Look at the build of 100m sprinters, tells you all you need to know. I think before the PL era they did have a 100m race for some of the fastest players in the 1st Division (not everyone competed) - I think Andrei Kanchelskis won that or have a completely imagined that? Nice footballer Lukaku but in a 100m sprint might be a bleeder. Short distances always go with the Quarter Horses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smedly Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Pogba might not be fast (to some) but he doesn't need to be, try getting the ball off him - he goes through players like hot butter, I would almost call him awkward to the extent opposition players don't know how to deal with him.............that is his strength, he is a threat that is identified that way and uses up resource trying to shut him down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he is jogging around he has the languid look of a tall guy, so has that 'lazy' look about him. For me athelticism is being able to run very fast, jump very high, and be very strong. So I can't think of more athletic player in the PL tbh. Whether he uses that athletic ability often enough is a different question. Fastest players in the Premier lists are often on t'internet - Sane is fastest - and I'm pretty sure Pogba is NOT "one of, if not the fastest player in the PL". Come on Ricky.

Not only did he let it slip, he confirmed he didn't thinking he was being clever, only to find that he was the only one on the entire forum who didn't know the phrase, so i shouldn't bother getting into this one either!! Carmine, I find your post very confusing. "BB doesn't actually know what a "physical player" is - based upon what exactly? What did I let it slip?

Maybe he is a loss to Belgian athletics. As for which PL players would do the best in a marathon... probably one of the guys highest in the 'distance covered' list. Always surprised me that David Beckham was high up in the list. Sane is a loss to Belgium athletics: I'm at a loss to understand that! Sane has a German athletics mum and Senegelese footballing dad and he holds dual German and French citizenship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Not sure the ability to be a super fast 100m sprinter would be that useful in football which is mainly short sprints. Walker believes he's faster than Sané and sterling and has challenged them to a race, for charity I believe, but nothing confirmed. Pretty sure Walker means a half- or a full pitch sprint.

RickG16 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Can Alexis and Pogba have 2 good games in a row? Will Jones / Smalling keep their places even if Bailly is fit?

Popular Post smedly Posted May 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2018 You know what guys - lots of people I know hate Sir Alex and have voiced it to me on numerous occasions - probably the most successful manager ever in UK football and what is really exceptional is the fact that he is British born and bred. I give respect based on performance because he earned it which for some is a hard pill to swallow and very hard to admit for some who have fallen fowl of his outstanding legacy. I do hope that he recovers fully and continues to enjoy his elderly years and his retirement as everyone should Get well Sir Alex Ferguson you are and always will be a legend 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmine Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Very unlike Jose to call out and trash young players in public. This time, not one but two. Must be wonderful for team spirit. He might not rate Rashford but i'd have him at Spurs in an instant. It would be a terrible shame to see Jose destroy yet more young talent.

But try to remembers no ones perfect, a sentiment i'm sure Alex Ferguson would agree with! Whilst i have mixed feelings about certain sides of his character theres no doubting he was a magnificent football manager that has become a modern day icon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
