  • Set pieces

    Whenever we defend a set piece our players are static and react when its too late and the opponents score from the second ball.
    When we have a set piece of our own the players make a run but are then static instead of reacting to a knock on .
    This is the sort of thing schoolkids do .
    Do our players not really care and can't be bothered or are they literally brain dead and do'nt know the basics of football ??
    They are fit enough to run for 90 mins surely , pass and move , forwards please not pass backwards and sideways and walk about .
    I know like 15000 other fans each week that Paal and Chair don't normally get the corner past the front post , so why not have a couple of our players at the front post to flick on and then move for the second ball , instead of every single corner being cleared before one of our players even touches it.
    Do we actually coach our players for set pieces , i very much doubt it . even when we have a throw in , in the opposition half we normally lose the ball and the opponents end up on a breakaway attacking our goal. It has been like this since Warburton was here.
    I thought Lucas Anderson was supposed to be a set piece specialist so why did Paal and Chair continue to take them when Anderson came on tonight ??
    Are our coaches that #### or is it the players that are brain dead ??

      If we were better at defending and using set pieces to score, we would not be a brilliant team but we would not be where we are. It's painful to watch

        The same players taking the same useless set pieces week in week out.
        Either under hitting or over hitting the ball......

          Our corners usually means starting a counter attack for the opposition! Never seen a team worse at taking and facing a corner. It started under warbs and actually gotten worse. We are the embarrassment of the league.

              Didn’t Marti rattle on about how he was some set piece specialist when he arrived? We’d be better off giving away penalties than set pieces, at least the keeper would have a chance of saving it

                Apparently football is a game of mistakes these days!
