Not sure that's true.
Seem to recall Baleba and Moder have been clocked as the quickest.

Can't vouch for the veracity of this but Premier League data apparently has Minteh as the 9th fastest player in the league, which would make him the fastest in the squad

Stars from Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are among the Premier League players who have clocked the fastest speeds this season.

Wasn't expecting any changes at HT, but when we saw Estupinan out early to warm up, our speculation was a change to a back five, rather than a like for like swop

I thought Pervis was brilliant. It was like having the old Estupinan back. So much energy.

I'm very much hoping he gets a "knock" which prevents him playing internationals.

I was in the north and so I was very impressed with Ferdi's work. (it's harder for me to see his defensive work there). It's fair to say we need to find his best position. He looks a good alround player, good athlete. Would he be better in midfield?

It wasn't the only change. Most of the change was in the heads of the players imo..

That said, I'm a Perverto man all day all night. He's our best left back by a distance.

I agree , Minteh, Mitoma and Rutter just changed after half time , FH must have given them a rocket. The pleasing thing about Pervis is that he looked back to his old speed and that can only help the high back line issue.

Ferdi looks lost in terms of defending thus far. He gets beaten so easily and is often well out of position. Hopefully it's just a matter of him learning the system etc but it's a bit of a concern. Fair play to Pervis, he had a really good half.

I don't mind inverted full backs but they need to have a left foot. This guy doesn't. Last week against Chelsea, they locked him on the right wing and the only thing he could do was to turn back and pass the ball with his left foot to one of our CBs. But he didn't.. instead he sprinted towards our own goal to get the space to make a pass to Verbruggen with his right. That's bad enough if you play on the right but it doesn't work at all when playing on the left side.

Think it will take some time before we see Ferdi functioning well in the PL.

According to an article I read, Minteh is the 9th fastest player in the league?

Not sure how true that is ???

Where do you think Ferdi will end up being used?

Was sat with a Spuds fan in a different seat today, and he asked who Estupiñán was as he entered the pitch.
He spent the remainder of the game with expletives and face palm every time Pervis went near the ball dejected at how well he was playing.
