Pace!!!!

[birchwoodgingerste]

ballotelli has pace and i think when he is fit we will play him down the middle no need to panic.

balotelli ?

Nani and Valencia are considerably quicker than anyone on our team

I'll give you Chelsea but they are a different kettle of fish to us

Barcelona have Pedro and Messi
Spuds have Bale & Lennon

SWP and Balotelli are quicker than all 4 of Nani, Valencia, Messi and Pedro. None of those 4 are speed merchants, they all rely on footwork and skill to take people on.

Bale and lennon are both rapid I'll give you that. Wouldn't say we have a lack of pace though.

Messi is more of a sudden change of speed, combined with his god like ability to control the ball he makes his own time and space (but not in a Star Trek way).
AJ's quick, Yaya showed good pace today, then we have Super Mario and SWP

 

[leewill31]

We lack it, all the good teams have at least one player with pace, we have nobody, without it we will struggle for top 4

hahahahaha!

balotelli ?

Have you been asleep?

 

[Tevez City]

Eden Hazard is the answer

Eden Hazard is the answer

A decent centre forward would be nice, Tevez is great but he's not the big all round striker to play a lone role up front.

We have Ade

Milner has great pace running with the ball. He used it time and again against Liverpool last Monday.
