Looks like if this guy is playing then Englands midfield are going to have to do a lot of running.

This from the NYT
"In a victory at Liverpool in October that most likely saved his manager’s job, for example, Leeds not only ran more than any team had in any Premier League game this season, but Aaronson ran more than anyone else. He registered 8.2 miles, more than any player has run in any league game this year."

8.2 miles more! Wow. Wonder what his total was. Hardly seems possible? At 5 min pace all the games that would only be 18 miles or so.

Did you notice the comma between 8.2 miles and more?

Beckham ran just shy of 10m in the game against Greece in 2001.

I remember Sir Alex Ferguson saying when the first started monitoring distance covered in a game he was amazed to see
that David May consistently ran the most, something he had never noticed as he was following the ball not the players.

ferguson was just a glorified cheerleader
