our fastest player?

[Navas >>| Fast Forward]

Navas would be the quickest over any distance. He runs like a 800/1500m runner.
Watch the players when they warm up Navas is effortless, he's a naturally efficient runner.

Neither Aguero or Yaya are as fast as people think they are. Aguero has great acceleration and takes good angles that slows down others. Yaya does a mixture f taking angles and using strength both physical and mental to burst past players.

But Straight line speed is best seen when you are chasing a ball far ahead of you. Navas, Clichy seem clearly faster than others on a straight line. Mangala and Dihno mix quickness with boundless energy, so it is hard to determine how fast they are. Most likely above average.

But Navas and Clichy show speeds others don't consistently

Complete and utter bollocks!

 

[Ban-jani]

David White.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Richard Dunn, faster than anyone thought!

wudnt say mangala he often gets beaten to the ball over ten or 15yards so over a shorter distance id say no.

Would be interesting to find out. CityTV would love to set it up, but it wouldn't do to have a player injured during some 'game for a laugh' sports day.

The most important fastest is the first 5-20 yards, and I dunno, it's hard to judge... Aguero & Navas seem favourites. Fastest top speed I'd guess Mangler; even his three quarter sprints look pretty amazing. Fastest top speed with close control of a football - Yaya.

Football analysis is a bit ridiculous at times, but one gimmick I'd like to see is more speed cameras (uproot traffic cameras if you have to). It surprised me when Robben was declared fastest; I always thought he was like Messi - quick feet but little strides not really getting him anywhere.
