He's the quickest in that he's clocked the top speed in a game so far. But in actual game play acceleration over the first 10-20 metres is far more important.
Still surprising though. I thought he looked a lil sluggish personally
Didn't Pleaty say just the other night that Townsend was the second fastest player at the club only to Walker?
Guess it's all in the measurements...
This. Kaboul also features good top speed, but it doesn't matter much since his acceleration and agility is pretty poor. Would be very surprised if Dier stayed with Walker or Townsend far at all in a beep test.
