Yeah it looks like they're counting a sub as a full appearance, and I agree that B Silva is probably the most hard working midfielder in the league - he's averaging 10.53km on the same site (just to keep the base comparison fair)They do the division by matches played rather than per 90 minutes, counting sub apps as full apps. Eriksen started on the bench more which he was has less minutes. If you do it by per 90 minutes the gap is significant (I think) That said, I’ve had a few beers and the way I’m working it out has Eriksen at 14km per 90 which is surely impossible. 12km + is what you’d expect from a hard working midfielder but I’m sure Bernardo Silva covered the most ground in a game this season at 13.75km or something. My head is pickled admittedly.
I don't doubt that Pogba runs less than them, but the original comment was that the difference between how much he runs versus someone like Eriksen was significant.
With 300 more odd minutes in a considerably worse side - I don't think it's fair to say Pogba's effort was well behind Eriksen's.
