Collymore Posted 2 May 2016 Posted 2 May 2016 I always thought he was a bit of a slow coach but I noticed yesterday just how quick he is. When Lingard had a run on him he did ever so well to get his body back in front of him. There were few other foot races he had with their attackers where he won too. I wonder if we have a training regime to increase speed?
Trav Le Bleu Posted 2 May 2016 Posted 2 May 2016 I don't think he's particularly slow, just that in a very fast team some fast players aren't as quick as others.
Weller in Tights Posted 2 May 2016 Posted 2 May 2016 I think he is the most improved player this season. The work of defenders is often overlooked, understandable as the TV loves the skillful players (Mahrez) and loves goals ( Vardy). But our defence has been superb and Simpson has played a major part in that defence.
Fox92 Posted 2 May 2016 Posted 2 May 2016 You can't increase speed can you? Anyway I don't think he's fast or slow. He's about right. Did very well to make up for his error yesterday, no way was it a foul on Lingaard.

Speed is surely to do with the right muscles being strong (as well as natural technique) He seems a lot quicker than what I remember of him last season.

When I was training for marathons I did some speed work, sprints and such like and as a result not only did my marathon pace increase but my speed over short distances massively increased. Obviously there will become a point where you just won't get quicker but speed is something that can be worked on.

You don't think a 20 stone man could get any faster through training? It's just that on a smaller scale.

49er Posted 2 May 2016 Posted 2 May 2016 He's had a great season, and played an important role in making our defence so difficult to breach. However, I think that he was at fault for the goal yesterday - missed heading the ball when the cross came in and out of position, leaving Martial totally unmarked.
Clever Fox Posted 2 May 2016 Posted 2 May 2016 While he was out of position for the Goal he was only doing what he's done all season that is tuck in tight to Morgan. It's then normally the job of the Midfielder or Winger to pick up the wide man. this is something Albrighton and Schlupp are good at, Sadly Mahrez not so much, But he is getting better at it. The Square pass was just daft as last man and while he didn't foul Kasper got him out of jail.

It won't be by a large amount when you're dealing with people who are already physically fit, but you can still lose weight and train the muscles necessary for running to squeeze a bit more pace out of a player.

This exactly, with training you certainly can get quicker, a lot quicker in some cases. But there is limitations to what your natural body can achieve, you won't become Usain Bolt even with the best training in the world because you need to be born with the right muscle structure.
AyewJoking Posted 2 May 2016 Posted 2 May 2016 i thought simpson just wanted it more than linguaard who was perhaps shitting himself at being gifted such an opportunity.
Vardinio'sCat Posted 2 May 2016 Posted 2 May 2016 It was a magnificently 'italian' piece of defending. Just enough contact to put pressure on his man, but not enough for the ref to blow for it. Simpson is just fast enough to do his defensive job against pacey wingers, and he has shown great reslience in last ditch situations, this season.
nnfox Posted 2 May 2016 Posted 2 May 2016 Usain Bolt doesn't train. Simpson is a top "old fashioned" full back. I can't remember the last time anybody properly skinned him. Players just don't get past him. He isn't attacking enough for England but his style suits our team perfectly.
Bazly Posted 2 May 2016 Posted 2 May 2016 He does need to stop passing back to the opposition then he wouldn't need to run as fast. Fortunately neither cost but he was setting up Schmeichel for a red card tackle yesterday.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 2 May 2016 Posted 2 May 2016 I think the fitness and awareness levels have improved vastly this season.
