    That won't cut it in this league.
    You obviously have not seen Taylor yet? Pace is overrated unless they have the skill to play along with it.

    I can't see Taylor starting yet.
    And pace is ***** at the back and up front in this league.
    Skill should be a given in the Premier League.

    At this level of football there is no substitute for pace , it's just a given that you need it and if you don't have it things just got a whole lot harder.

    Hate to disagree guys but at this level if you are slow you are dead. We have just about the fittest, fastest group in the EPL and we can absolutely play 100% for 90 minutes and beyond.

    Walcott and Sterling and their ilk are meat and drink for the likes of Lowton, Ward and Mee. Let's be bullish for a change eh?

    Walking football indeed- the Darby and Joan Club is alive and well in Burnley...
