@owlstalk Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 A player who is RAPID and can outpace everyone easily but can’t control the ball or shoot on target very well OR A player who can control the ball, pass and shoot well but is slow as running through treacle?

The latter or Usain Bolt would have been signed up in the Prem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherlyegg Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 A good footballer is always better than a fast runner who can't play. Loads of clubs have tried it out. Ideally you want a good footballer that is quick. Rather than a fast runner that is average at football... Stands to reason otherwise most clubs would have Olympic sprinters in the team.

Depends on how the slow player can read the game and position himself. I’d go with skill every time. Would you rather have Jeramy Helen or John Sheridan (Shez wasn’t too slow though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 The rapid one as he will force opposition defence deeper and others can take advantage. Second is more easily marked and easier to take out of game. Would have been different answer 25 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlyonedavidhirst Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Maybe compare JJ to Ross Wallace. Would like both at different times of a game, but the best of both would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you 100%. But Sheridan is a club legend as raw pace wasn’t / isn’t as important an attribute for a midfield playmaker. Harris will never be a Wednesday legend (not his fault ) but pace is more important for wingers. In the modern game you might not be able to get into the position to use skill without pace ?
