Yet the highest speed in game Oliver has registered this year is 31.7 & Bont 31.6. That’s kind of my point, he very well may be quicker than Bont but if you don’t use it in game it’s irrelevant, more about timing & smarts than raw pace - edit: not saying Oliver doesn’t use it in game, he definitely does as he hits contests at pace, but just an example.I would think that Oliver is definitely faster than Bont.
We know Bont isn’t quick off the mark yet he streams out of the front of a clearance for us and gaps his opponent more than anyone else on our list.
I just don’t think you can refer to Bont as a one paced midfielder but Oliver as some modern day athletic beast midfielder.
