I think its down to tactics plus its usually full backs that usually account for most of the running stats. If we keep telling our full backs to sit deep then this will affect stats.
Secondly ball chasing teams will also run more.
It's good analysis though. Very Tifo
On the bright side running stats can only get better but it would be interesting to see the comparison of Poch's first 7 games against Nuno's, as that is all the games he has managed so far in the prem.
I misunderstood the title and thought this was going to be an article about how badly our club is run.
How refreshing to discover it's actually an article about how bad our club is at running.

Under Poch he would often rotate fullbacks so they would only play once per week I think this helped both running stats and our performances.
Perhaps the squad is getting old?
Sky should have added squad's average age to their analysis.
And it would be interesting to know how Wolves were running last season and how PSG are running today.
Imo as much as a coach/manager may want his players to run it ultimately is down to the players, if they can't be bothered despite instructions they will simply run 10m instead of the required say 15m?
It's something that always properly vexes me, the very least you should expect from a player earning a fortune is physical effort!
I can accept a lower skill level, a player who can get outplayed by a better one but lack of "running" grinds my gears.
The fact we ran over 7km less than arsenal in our biggest derby is shocking

Must mean the players don't respect each other. If you can't play for each other then says it all about the over paid divas.
When I play competitive sports..the coach is important but ultimately you and your mates wanted to win.

Absolutely the coach can drive home an instruction but it's up to the individual to decide to carry it out, or not as the case may be
So Lloris runs runs the least distance of our squad season to date. I mean, just how far is it to run from one goal post to the other.
Then they list the defenders as the next group who run the least. Might be wrong, but I assume they are too busy defending, rather than running all over the pitch ?
Then, three quarters of the way through the article, the author suddenly realises that City, Utd and Chelsea are all in the bottom half of the running table, and quickly justify this by saying "well that's ok, because they have the ball for most of their games, so don't need to run as much" Just a thought, but maybe they are at the top of the league because they spend more and therefore generally have all the best players ?
Pointless article that has more holes in it than a rusty old bucket. All sorts of wonderful facts and figures, but ultimately an excuse for yet another negative article about Spurs. We get we are rubbish, honestly, but don't need to keep being reminded by Sky.

We should be glad that Sky have taken the trouble to write the article. Hopefully Nuno and the players take note and up their game.
