I'm not saying he's slow.

I am saying however that raving about a pretty routine goal like that one, reveals a towering neediness that's a bit unbecoming.

Miserable c**t. Embrace the hope.

I meant is it taken from in game scenarios or at training sessions? 

 

The data will be taken from the GPS that the players now wear underneath there tops (the black bra like things that you might have seen). These have been show to be accurate in terms of getting data from actual matches without being particularly invasive. I also believe everyone's data is made freely available to all the other clubs, although I am unsure if you will be able to find all the measurements they take.

I don't understand what you mean by space? There's at least 4000 square meters in every pitch , Every single player should have at least once performed a maximal sprint apart from goalkeepers?

 

I will add that, speed isn't necessarily the best predictor of a player's performance, I think acceleration would probably be better, although having faster players is clearly something you want.

What started off as a pretty strange statistic to bring up, just got a whole more strange. He's effectively the second fastest of players who are given free space to run into? 
 


In the EPL they only use the figures when on the ball, for speed anyway. I'd assume it's the same in Germany, so, to go all American-y, it's his "fastest possession run" they use.

Speed in a Scotland player is somewhat refreshing. I don't know how many times Matt Ritchie's had a clear run on goal from a wide position and has had to perform an embarrassing U turn. He wouldn't have got a shot away if in Burke's shoes for the Rangers goal.

Yeah that's why Anya was such a breath of fresh air when he came in. I can't remember us ever having that kind of pace before. Certainly not in the last two decades anyway.
Great to have Anya, Burke, Phillips, Fraser, Forrest all with impressive pace.

Shame the only one Strachan picks is the one with zero end product.
