DB11 Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 Attached photo shows. Not sure how accurate they are! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2809309/Phil-Jagielka-officially-fastest-player-Premier-League-no-not-joking.html
Dr The Singh Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 Acceleration over the first 5 yards and maneavarability are probably more important!!!
suffolk fox Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 He is not very fast though when tracking back? There lies the problem do those stats include with the ball?
Tommy G Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 Where is Walcott, Di maria, Schurrle etc not sure how believebale that is tbh
benpicko Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 Where is Walcott, Di maria, Schurrle etc not sure how believebale that is tbh Walcott's not played this season and it's just fastest speed reached, taking into account nothing else. Doesn't matter if they have the ball or not, what they're doing or anything, it seems. Just who's moved the fastest in a match. Not really that surprising that De Laet's up there in that case because he's rapid going forwards and disappointingly slow whenever he has to go back to defend

Not really that surprising that De Laet's up there in that case because he's rapid going forwards and disappointingly slow whenever he has to go back to defend Thats why I think he would make a perfect wingback
cc_star Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 RDL getting a kicking again? Not his fault he's the /only/ attacking threat in the whole squad Not his fault the 2 CDMs don't know how to do the D in CDM Not his fault the CB can't cover Not his fault there is zero cover from whatever winger has played in front of him Not his fault midfielders don't track opposing midfield runs Not his fault when a CB plays opposition forward onside But yeah, it's all on RDL
filbertway Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 Can't remember who it was (possibly obertan) but De Laet chased a Newcastle player back about 60/70 yards so that is a complete myth. If he's still being blamed for holding his line correctly against Swansea then there's no way of altering the opinion on Ritchie.
Callabinho Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 It would be interesting to see how many attacks have been successful down the left, compared to the right.

RDL is a great runner, defensively he is okay, I thought he and montero had a fair battle on saturday, but going forward his first touches and final products are generally below par.

Certainly, but I'm just say his apparent defensive lapses that everyone is wanting him out for aren't just down to him
1993fox Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 Certainly, but I'm just say his apparent defensive lapses that everyone is wanting him out for aren't just down to him He does get very little praise for what he does well. He flourishes when we have a competent DM around. I think the midfield being generally very poor since United has increased the workload on RDL. He flourished in the second half at the United game when we had the diamond formation and I think that gave him space to play to his potential. I think he's underrated but he does make frustrating mistakes, like Swansea's second goal, so I can understand why people want to see more of Simpson There are definitely more players in the starting line up in need of bench time than RDL. I'm looking at Drinkwater, love the guy but he's had very few things to be proud about this season
RowlattsFox Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 Do feel sorry for De Laet, every game seems an almighty battle for him. He's obviously been targeted defensively by teams, generally he does ok but eventually will make a mistake. Can't complain about effort and his work rate, he also needs a bit of help from team mates.
MPH Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 Phil jagielka the fastest player in the prem? That should tell you all you need to know about the accuracy of this..
Guest ttfn Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 Literally no chance Jagielka is hitting 35kmh. I'd be surprised if he can reach 30.
Bert Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 Let's see how many of these players would be in the top ten of a 100m sprint. Not many. It's te fastest speed over a short burst.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 He is not very fast though when tracking back? There lies the problem do those stats include with the ball? Was going to say that speed is without his boots. The way he has performed of late, I actually wonder if he has any.
Guest ttfn Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 Let's see how many of these players would be in the top ten of a 100m sprint. Not many. It's te fastest speed over a short burst. 35 kmh is seriously quick though, Phil Jagielka is not hitting that speed inside 10 metres even with a walking start. From a standing start it took Bolt 20m to hit that speed in the 2008 Olympic final and he had a top speed of 44kmh. Basically it's a load if rubbish.

I don't think it's improbable to think he chased a player back over 30/40 meters.
Stadt Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 Could that speed be measured from a duration of 0.2 seconds or something?
BigMicky Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 He is not very fast though when tracking back? There lies the problem do those stats include with the ball? ??? Even though the majority if LCFC players when questioned claim he is the quickest at the club.. Very strange.
