GazBricks Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 So many people on all but the some of the threads always turn things round to Wednesday's problem being we've got no pace in side. Whilst i do agree we probably do need a wing back who is quick but people are asking for us to sign 2 wingers with pace which lets be right doesn't seem like the vibe the Jos is going for he wants to play with wing backs and our RWB (Hunt not Palmer) is quick. But i also don't particularly think we are crying out for it. the last 3 games at hillsborough we rolled every single team over all this done without any pace so i suppose what i'm really saying is are we that desperate for lets face it someone whos gonna be a speed demon with the end product of JJ?

S72 Owl Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 It’s all about having different options. Having some one up top (centrally or wide) with genuine pace will give us more options, especially away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohgoditsjames Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Because at times we are pedestrian, not enough players capable of breaking away fast enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazBricks Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 I think if we was bringing in someone with pace i'd prefer to be a striker because i don't think a winger would play that much. We have someone that can do that in Matias but unfortunately he's made out of rich teas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedwig Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 The thing defenders hate most is pace, but it's not the be-all & end-all.. You need a combination of pace, instinctive finishers in your side, with creativity. FF & BB have the creativity, Rhodes (if he ever gets his goal-scoring mojo back) and Hooper are the instinctive finishers, really need pace and power to complete the triangle. Joao could possibly be that player, but needs to work on certain aspects of his game over the pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Wednesday Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Football is always changing, over the last few years we have moved from having possession, to having good possession and actually creating things, teams are now focussing a lot more on the transition, either defensively or attacking. The better teams are the teams that on a transition anywhere on the pitch can hurt teams, Liverpool are the masters of the transition, for it to work and win you football matches you need pace, Salah and Mane. Man City are the best all round team in England, they have pace at both ends of the pitch, the pace at the back with Kyle Walker and Otamendi allows them to push higher, this is where the success comes from with the sustained attacks. The pace up top of Sterling and Sane also means they can kill teams in a positive transition. Wolves mastered it this year in the Championship.

Was Fessi not playing in the last few games then as he is one of the quickest attackers in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swap these two with Marshall on one wing and Hoilette on the other both have good delivery and all of a sudden we get more chance to score goals.

RichieB Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I get the sense Jos will want to sometimes play counter attacking football, and for that you need pace, to be any good at it anyway. I dont see why anyone wouldn't want pace in a team, it's just a different option, teams that get promoted often have a bit of everything. I wouldn't class anyone in our team as having blistering pace to beat a man tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
