[Albion] Pascal Groß the slowest player in the Bundesliga

[Bozza]

Sounds like he needs to come home!

"According to Sport Bild, a statistic in particular causes concern among those responsible for BVB: Groß reached a top speed of only 29.9 km/h this season, which makes him the slowest regular player in the Bundesliga. This number stands out in particular, as it is extremely low compared to other professionals in the league and indicates a possible weakness in the fast playing style of the BVB.
.....
The BVB bosses hope that Pascal Groß can bring more consistency and dynamism into the game in the coming weeks to meet the high expectations. Nevertheless, the question remains as to how his low speed limit will affect his role in the team in the long term."

Langsamer Pascal Groß sorgt für BVB-Diskussionen

Doesn't say much for their recruitment if Pascal's lack of pace is a surprise.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

The real question here is

'How would Groß get into our starting 11 now?'

 

[WhingForPresident]

I noticed he has been playing at right back recently, or in a much deeper role than he did for us. What a waste

 

[Weststander]

His football intelligence and positioning more than made up for modest pace.

Although Everton conspired at Goodison to make PG look a world class lone counter attacker.

Nobody ever knows. But he always does (did) and wherever they shoe-horn him in, he is (was) always competent at a minimum, and bloody great at his best.

Pace isn’t everything, he’s never had it so he didn’t depend on it. The stats don’t surprise me though

 

[Munkfish]

Not got a goal or an assist this season. I expect a lot of people would be saying the same if he was still with us.

Pace isn’t important when you are delivering. When your not, you need to be offering the team more.

I hope he turns things round and he does start to shine for Dortmand. More for his sake rather than there’s.

He's got 4 assists. 2 in the league and 2 in the cup

 

[Javeaseagull]

He was never quick but always ran the furthest of anyone in the team.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

These are a good*, but slow, ex-player.

*Amazing

 

[Man of Harveys]

Komm doch nach hause Pascal!

Can you even imagine…I would weep salt tears of joy to see him come back home for one last stint.

 

[Yes Chef]

This appears to be Teutonic nonsense

I can’t believe Dortmund would have signed him without being aware of his lack of pace.

He was never quick, and he's hardly going to get quicker in his footballing swansong.

He's just a really, really good footballer

Maybe they thought he was too busy avoiding all the bottle tops from the Amex crowd to run fast?

Yeah, what sort of idiot club repeated plays Groß out of position like that so often?

 

[Comrade Sam]

No shit Sherlock, the slowest player in the Premier League is now the slowest player in the Bundesliga.

 

[chickens]

I love and miss Pascal. You have to blame their recruitment if they’ve bought him to add pace to their midfield.

He’s always welcome here.

 

[Norman Potting]

They don't deserve him - send him back !

His pace is deceptive. He is slower than you think.
But we love him

Bring him home. Idiots don't know how to work him.
