Pace

Look at Lallana's two goals against Ipswich. He'd started to make his run when the ball was put through..he looked like Linford Christie. A good footballing brain gives you a couple of yards.

 

Couldn't agree more Fran. Although a great footballing brain and blistering pace, a la Messi, combine for a killer combo!!

 

Unfortunately Messi would cost a fortune and wouldn't come to Saints in a million years. We realistically have to make compromises and is it out of the question that blistering pace could be one of them to get a superior technical player?

 

i dont know why everyone says lallana lacks pace, its not as if he's bloody slow is he?!

 

I wouldn't mind a bit more pace in our defenders...Millwall frightened me on Saturday.

 

martin is definitely quicker than seaborne, his tackle on gradel proves that. but yeah none of them are particularly fast.

 

He's not, but I hate this obsession with blinding pace. You don't need it if you know how to play.
