    I agree. I think the issue is that he isn’t the fastest. But from a get go start 0-60 perspective he is explosive.

    I actually see and agree with what your saying here/

    Yeah, agree. Although the original post / question was "is he the fastest". Hence the "No" answers. Then Tash changed it.

    Surprisingly, I'm pretty sure Phil Jagielka used to have the fastest record for years because defenders tend to run full tilt without the ball chasing back so they can hit top speed easier than a winger who's dribbling with the ball.

    He’s not even the fastest in the top 3 for pace in our squad ffs. Gordon is quicker, Willock is quicker, Isak is quicker. In fact I’d say maxi is quicker n all.

    Rofl Willock and Isak aren't quick. Almiron's pace is so insane he looks faster than everyone else while jogging.

    Think you need to go to specsavers mate.
    Ruel Fox used to look lightening quick but he had little legs and a funny running gait.
    Stats don't lie and Miggy isn't our quickest.

    What I think he does have is great acceleration, rather than out and out speed

    There's a few times this season he's got away from his marker easily by using a change of pace/direction rather than just out sprinting him

    I didn't mean to say Isak and Willock aren't quick, they're just not quicker than Almiron.

    It may be that he is deceptively slow then.

    Other than NO he's not one of the quickest players.

    That list doesn't include, Raheem Sterling, Brennan Johnson, Mathius Nunez, Keiran Tierney, Reiss Nelson, Jacob Murphy etc who have all recorded faster times than Miggy.

    Ah, so all players have ran at 100% their top speed at the time of being recorded, I see.

    That settles that.

    I'm not sure if Miggy is one of the fastest players but I know what I've seen, and the guy is absolutely rapid.

    I've seen all those players run, and I'd consider Miggy among them. He is rapid as ****.
