I've heard of actim and checked them out from time to time, but I now hear loads of players and pundis talking about player work rates and distances ran etc.  Joey was doing the same on Sky Tv on Sunday.  They talk about some Pro-system.  I've heard pundits say that Lampard and Gerrard run 10-12km in a match and Joey was suggesting the same.  Does anyone kow where these stats are? 

Apparently Portsmouth looked at their stats last year and were 10% downon all their opponents before Redknapp took over - he showed them their poor stats and then analysed everygame and their workrate went up in all their next 9 games to 20% more than their opposition (and they went 9 games unbeaten I think).

I wonder if City use these sort of figures. I would be very interesting to see how much effort players like Reyna and Samaras put in.
