give it till the end of the season and that will just be a list of VDV's top speeds....
His top speed is undoubtedly super impressive. But even more important is his acceleration. Dier too had good top speed, quite a few big centre backs to once they really get going. But in the majority of situations that's of little use if the acceleration isn't there to match it.The totally football podcast said VdV has 3 of the top 4 fastest ever speeds in the Prem.
Kyle Walker had the other.
Often times the top speeds are recorded when a defender is chasing back from a corner i.e. they don't have a ball at their feet, they aren't thinking deeply, they are just sprinting back at full pelt to 1 direct target.

D) physical strength to hold off opponents and doing so at speed.100% rarely do you ever see the following in one player
A) rapid acceleration
B) rapid top speed
C) rapid top speed and acceleration with a ball
He is a phenomenal specimen
Unfortunately it’s a trait of all rapid playersAnyone else holding their breath every power run he does? In fear of him tearing his hamstring again, Chelsea game ptsd I guess..
His 3rd or 4th totally crap game this season.Arguably his first poor game for us today, like the defenders around him (with the exception of Porro, who I think played a good match). Evidence for me how good Brighton were offensively in the 2nd half. No reason for knee-jerking or finger pointing, just keep working hard. The first half shows we are making progress.
Seems so, and he hasn't. Played the Qarabag game in the EL, otherwise not played any cup/EL game before this one. Started twice during the international break though.Love the guy but he can't play twice a week all season.
It's his 4th hamstring injury in 3 years. The previous he was out for 76, 56 and 18 days respectively.Hope we're not shredding this guy's hamstrings, I guess we will find out by how long he is out.
You should know by now, it doesn't matter what a player's previous injury history is - when he comes to Spurs it's a different ball game ....It's his 4th hamstring injury in 3 years. The previous he was out for 76, 56 and 18 days respectively.
If he's out less or similar to last time I think we're managing it okay.It's his 4th hamstring injury in 3 years. The previous he was out for 76, 56 and 18 days respectively.
