KenjiOgiwara Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Can we talk about it? It's diabolical. Whether it's corners, free kicks, fullbacks, wingers. Whether it's at pace or a set piece. They are all absolute shit. Rarely it even beats the first defender. It's been annoying me all season. Surely I am not the only one? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 yep our set piece delivery is appalling at times. Only one I can remember being top quality was for Trezeguet goal vs Liverpool think was McGinn cross. We have players that should be able to cross so not sure what the issue is. For a big team we never ever look like scoring from a set-piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Villa Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Our set piece play is I believe the worst in the league? No idea why but we can't score from them and we've conceded more from set play than any other team. I get the feeling crossing is only the start of our problems. Good to get it all out I guess, so we can start afresh in the New Year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 It's been reasonably poor I suppose, but then, who is the target of the crosses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well on corners, the 6 or 7 blokes wearing claret and blue in the box would be a good start. Edited December 30, 2019 by PieFacE 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Terrible crosses, terrible throw ins, not leaving someone on the halfway line for opposition corners - all result in the ball coming straight back at us. Very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turvontour Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Solution, no more crossing of the ball as there is no one to head it. Makes sense now that Grealish always wants to take short corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Tricks on you, even if we put the perfect cross in to the box, no-one is even there to head it..... Next level tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trez headed the ball from 5 yards out, but he was under instruction from deano not to score a headed goal (because Pep Villa only score 20 yard screamers), and because he is so skillful, he headed the ball down on to his knee and trickled it in the goal just to embarras the opposition, just because he could. ......... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like El Ghazis faint to header but instead shoulder in the playoff final. Pure showboating. Christ, we really are bad in the air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 It's either the quality of the ball in or the lack of numbers making good runs to get on the end of stuff. From what I've seen, neither are up to scratch, but I think it's the lack of good movement and finishing quality that is the bigger problem. Matt Targett is an excellent crosser of the ball, for example, and a few of his crosses this season should have resulted in goals, but didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
