Fair point on Marc...brings me on to another issue of mine, is Pepe that fast?
He isn't slow, like a Lacazette or a Giroud, but he has never really blown me away with his speed...wonder if that's down to a lack of intensity in his play, or just a genuine lack of speed compared to other wingers...can't remember him really destroying a fullback for pace on too many occasions.
I think he does have explosive pace but he never really utilises it in the right way. I reckon he's got a good straight line speed but he always seems to slow up a bit when he's got the ball, like he never looks to knock it past an opponent and use his pace like a Bale would in his prime. It's more very short bursts until he's faced with an opponent, he'll slow down and look to beat him with a bit of skill more than anything else.
