LondonBlue 636 Posted Friday at 01:01 Share Posted Friday at 01:01 14 hours ago, Alex said: Same team for me. Or keep Saka in then have Gordon or Palmer as the option on the bench. At least one of those two should start. Saka hasn’t impressed but being the only one in the side capable of making runs behind their defence has made it difficult for him. I.e. defences being able to double up on him. Due to them knowing he’s the only one in the front 4 (of the starting XIs so far) with genuine pace. Honestly though, you could make a good case for any of Saka, Kane, Bellingham or Foden not starting. If you don’t perform and still start, what sort of message does that send to the likes of Toney, Gordon, Watkins and Palmer? It might actually help those players you leave out. As there’s usually more gaps etc if you come in for the last 30 mins or so. Might give them a much needed kick up the jacksie too. As Holden says though, all this discussion seems a bit moot. I see you have Saka as the only one of the front 4 with genuine pace. At the last world cup Saka was clocked at 33.2 km/h, a little slower than englands third fastest player Foden who clocked 33.6 km/h. ( Walker was fastest at 34.4 and Gashford second at 34.2) tbf not many realise just how quick foden is. More recently Foden was clocked as Englands second quickest in the opening week (after Walker oc) euro 2024 link Having said that Walker isn't the fastest player in Citys squad. Can you guess without looking it up? Gordon is obviously quicker but will he get the chance to show it. Fodens having to go hunt the ball as he isn't getting it wide left. Not really fair, but life isn't 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13108 Posted Friday at 07:54 Share Posted Friday at 07:54 Fastest players are never who you think. It’s probably Ake over 20 yards or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 5347 Posted Friday at 07:59 Share Posted Friday at 07:59 (edited) Aye. It’ll be someone like Akanji or something like that. Wasn’t the quickest PL player recorded last season, like Dara O’Shea? Edited Friday at 07:59 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a slightly misleading stat anyway. I mean the players on the list were clocked at that speed. Making them literally the fastest. But quickest from a standing start over 10 or 20 metres might be a different set of players. As would quickest with the ball at their feet. Less easy to quantify in a match though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougle 2968 Posted Friday at 15:20 Share Posted Friday at 15:20 I tried to watch the Georgia Portugal match when I got home from work on Wednesday late evening and it just kept hoying up the fucking mind numbing England match from the night before anyone else managed to get ITVX to actually fucking work ? And Sundays match is on ITV ffs and I’m at work again 😑 The bbc may be shite but at least the iplayer works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
