Just watching and thinking Sporting generally look faster, fitter and younger. Tonight our starting 11 ages:
Lloris 35
Davies 29
Romero 24
Doherty 30
Dier 28
Bentancur 25
Hojberg 27
Moura 30
Perisic 33
Kane 29
Son 30
Ave Age - 29.09
Got to be one of the oldest teams playing in the CL?
Average age of starting 11

Not that old in modern football terms.

Fair enough. Peak Poch years I remember often hearing Spurs had the youngest squad in the Prem. The game is increasingly athletic suiting younger players more. Of course there are experienced (old) players that have 'looked after themselves' Giggs being the famous example, but an average age of an eleven of 29+. Is that really 'not that old in modern football'?

Yeah well all of Perisic, Davies, Moyes and Doherty can faaacking do one.
Waste of time including keepers in these things in my opinion
