I can't see them hanging on to their prime assets, few bad results and fans will be at them again. Austin McPhee is ace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland have had a Netflix one, which admittedly was popular for the wrong reasons, but Palace and QPR both have stuff on Amazon Prime. Im not sure we're popular enough just yet to get an All or Nothing series, but I do wonder if it's something Purslow/NSWE think would be beneficial if we carry on at our current trajectory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First season was exactly as you expect a football documentary to be. Second season was a f**king mentalist exploration of how bad a bunch of sleazy wideboys can mess things up.

nepal_villan Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Don't like that we are taking long throw ins at every chance in the oppositions third. Save it for a few times in the match. Other than the Ings goal, can't remember too many times we looked very threatening from it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just said this in the Smith thread, line everyone up for a long throw and then get someone to come short to whip in a cross or something, just lobbing it into the box at from each throw isn't great to watch and defences won't take long to adapt to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 You could tell we went to shite today. Back to not getting the corners past the first man, tell tail sign, we weren't on form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) could he not install a firewall in front of the defence? Oh wait that's McCafee, my bad. Edited October 3, 2021 by VillanousOne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the first time today that you couldn't real feel his influence, but I put that down to just about every single one of the players having an absolute disaster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzing to see some of his mad routines on the International stage Just watching the highlights now and you have it right there for the winner....McGinn hits it flat towards near post, flick on by Hendry and McTominay makes clever run at back post to nudge it in. Guess issue with that sort of move is if CB dosen't read it then it's just headed away by first man which is always frustrating to watch. However if it comes off as it did there it looks simple and effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trajectory and pace is completely different to a corner, it causes more confusion. Fans moan like mad when corners aren’t played into the box from a corner, so why wouldn’t you do it from a throw in, if you can! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see stats how many long throws end up with shots and goals, in comparison to short throw and build up from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cizzler Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) All he seems to have done is try and turn Matty Cash into an Aldi version of Rory Delap - moon balling every throw-in we win in the other’s team’s half to loop into their box. Zero attempt to retain possession and rushes Mings up there, it’s shite. Defensively at set pieces we look absolutely woeful too. What is he actually telling them to do? Conceded simple goals against Wolves and Arsenal now - it’s cost us two games. This is with three centre backs too. How can he be so bad at instructing our players to win headers in our own box?

dubliner Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Surely any decent football coach can coach set pieces without needing a "specialist" to come in and assist. It hasn't improved our set pieces whatsoever and if anything we've got worse. It also irritates me the way commentators feel the need to mention him every time we get a set piece early in a game.

Risso Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Our defending from set pieces has certainly got much worse. Now that the long throw from Cash to Mings in the area has stopped working, MacPhee doesn't seem so keen on stomping around the technical area.
