Which EPL team has run the furthest? 07:36 - Nov 7 with 3523 viewsAnotherJohn

Not us! We are third from bottom and seem to be out of puff. We are not exactly playing a high-pressing game or (except for Tammy) one with much movement upfront.

1st Bournemouth 1256km
2nd West Brom 1247km
3rd Tottenham 1246km
(...)
14th Crystal Palace 1201km
15th Leicester 1195km
16th Southampton 1194km
17th Stoke 1183km
18th Swansea 1182km
19th West Ham 1162km
20th Man Utd 1162km

Proves what?


Maybe it proves that players are not moving into space for the player on the ball to have options where to pass. Surely, it’s plain to see, and people have complained on PS that the ball is being played backwards because of a lack of movement ahead. The only midfielder that shows enough movement into space is the one that’s been with us the longest, Leon. The gaps that are appearing in the centre of the pitch are showing that the necessary “ move into space “ thoughts are not with the players, or, have they been coached differently more recently? The effort by the players last Saturday just emphasises the point that the stats show. I was annoyed by the lack of passion and willingness to have a go. If we lose a game because the other side are much better than us well OK, but to lose because of apparent lack of effort is criminal.

Gylfi was the legs of the team as well as the creative spark, dead ball expert and goalscorer.

But apparently, according to some , contributed nothing. 😳

What does that prove?
Manure run less than us
Surely if running provides success then Man City should be top with about 5000km ?
WBA are second, yet they are not ripping the league apart ?
What a load of tosh

It’s not a load of tosh, it’s quite salient, though it only backs up what we already know.

Our focus is on keeping shape and players being in position
We don’t press hard when out of possession in non threatening positions
When we do go forward, we don’t hunt in packs (probably the wrong phrase)
Our off the ball movement when in possession is limited

It may show us what we already know, but it shows you can organise a successful team and not run your socks off (Man City) or run your socks off and still be poor (WBA).
I get the impression that the OP intended to show us as failing due to not running enough, when we all know the truth lies deeper than that

I think the point is that the teams with quality don't have to press and run into space as much as the strugglers. Man Utd can get away with it, but ourselves and West Ham are bottom three in the league table and also bottom three in the running table. Palace are only a tad higher in the running table. As others have said, Gylfi used to be near the top of the individual distance running list, and is being sorely missed. Who are the weaker teams doing well who do not run?

All to be congratulated bearing in mind we hardly ever cross the half way line.
