Pace in the premier league

[Mcfc blade]

Wether the blades play with a back 3 4 or even 5 some games do you think there's enough pace in the defence to cope with the premier league speed merchants when they try getting in behind?

This is my main concern, usually our system has made up for lack of speed at the back.

That said JOC / Bash aren’t particularly slow but the pace / ability to recover of our wingbacks concerns me more. Time will tell though!

I think this where Besic could come in handy with his ability to 'tackle' opposition players

Lack of pace hasn't stopped Harry Maguire becoming the most expensive defender ever. Pace helps but know how and vision go a long way.
