Woody1000 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Only my opinion, but I wouldn’t think that McPhee is concentrating too much on defending set pieces, to be honest that’s basics right? It seems that McPhee’s remit with the attacking set pieces is to come up with new ways to try and score goals from them. I know it’s getting boring now, but that on Saturday is on the players I’m afraid. It’s a basic skill of a top flight defender to defend from a set piece. You cannot blame coaching on failing to clear a ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't decide what an opponent wants to do at set pieces - it'll just be a generic set up from within the coaching staff (and, hey, maybe McPhee has a say in that). The value of a set piece coach is setting up offensive set pieces to catch the opponent out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, in defensive set pieces, your only strategy is hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Is it only me that thought the main culprit of not dealing with the 2 second phases incidents from the left was Targett. Both times he was no where near the player that got the pass or header across the 6 yard area that led to both goals. Was very poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing. Wow! We were going halves of seasons with no goals from corners! It always annoyed me because I felt that Konsa and Mings should be more trouble than they were. Maybe it was the delivery/lack of plan that was the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Set plays for and against is much improved over the last four games. Gerrard quickly identified a weakness and rectified it. Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Would be interesting to know if they identified the back post as a weakness of Leicesters Not just the 2nd konsa goal, the first came from a back post knock down and so was Ramseys Being an NFL fan I always think coaches in football don't watch enough tape, I'd love it if that's something someone on our staff watched them play and spotted it, that kind of intelligence will go a long way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
