Micah is faster than Cole. Balotelli is faster than Anelka. Adam Johson is as fast as Malouda. So is Yaya on his runs.Marvin said:Malouda, Cole, Anelka. Pace throughout that sideThe Pink Panther said:Chelsea haven't anyone who runs at defenders and terrorises them with their pace and yet they seem to have done pretty well over the last few seasons, but the difference is that Chelsea move the ball around at pace
This pace discussion i a nonstarter. What we lack is pace moving the ball. The whole Dynamo Kiev team lacked individual pace. None could even clearly burn a slow Kolarov. Yet they broke often on counters with quick well structured and rehearsed passes. That is what we lack. Pace of play, and not player pace.
