ToonArmy1892 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Been quality last few games, at both ends of the pitch, last ditch block and should have had another assist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikky Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Been quality last few games, at both ends of the pitch, last ditch block and should have had another assist. I like the fact he gets crosses in now (decent ones too) : in a back 3 he is more than useful as a wing back; would like him to further develop his crossing/shooting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Martins seemed to have great acceleration off the ball over short distances. Yedlin looks like a track star and covers a lot of ground. Would love to know what his 40 yard, 100m and 200m times are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see this race now, actually Not sure. 200 metres is pretty long compared to anything you’d run on a football pitch and Yedlin’s legs are pretty small compared to Sissoko’s. Think Yedlin wins easily at 40/50m, its pretty close at 100m and Sissoko wins at 200m. This is obviously complete guesswork mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was obviously fairly fast, but he was so positionally poor at the on-the-shoulder stuff that it counted for nothing really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was obviously fairly fast, but he was so positionally poor at the on-the-shoulder stuff that it counted for nothing really. [2006]His very existence in the team pushed defenders back, on account of his pace, so it did make a difference even if he, as you say, didn't know how to use his pace. A fast player who doesn't know how to use his pace is more of an asset than a strong player who doesn't know how to use his strength.[/2006] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Enrique was deceptively quick as well. In fact I remember him up against Bellamy when he was still fairly fast and he caught up to him despite Bellamy having a fairly big head start.

ToonArmy1892 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Woodgate and Aaron Hughes were deceptively quick aswell. I remember Hughes playing right back against Henry, Henry knocked it past him and i thought he'd get skinned but he matched him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was Carragher who said he was one of the quickest players in the Liverpool team, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Deceptively fast should apply to Paul Dummett too - if he's got his eyes on a slide tackle chance hes surely 95 speed in FIFA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Dummett can run, its just his turn of speed, and turning circle that makes him seem slow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSFC Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Martins seemed to have great acceleration off the ball over short distances. Yedlin looks like a track star and covers a lot of ground. Would love to know what his 40 yard, 100m and 200m times are. At university his coach said he ran a 4.25 40. Which would put him top 10 all time in American football for the scouting combine. For reference Bellerin broke Walcott's record at Arsenal with a 4.4. 4.25 is F U speed and then some. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSFC Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I don't think it's close, Sissoko didn't have blistering pace. Yedlin v Martins would be. As a Sounder supporter here in the Seattle area, I can attest that Yedlin was the fastest guy on the team (not surprising) and Oba was the 2nd fastest. They overlapped by a year or so. It really is too bad that Yedlin didnt start focusing primarily on this sport until he was in high school here (15 years old I believe he began focusing). Had he been taught correctly from a young age with a european type tutelage...the sky would have been the limit for him. Cause he has all the athleticism in the world but the technical ability is obviously lacking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
