foreveryoung Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 It looks as if the team are getting bored with all the technicality of these set pieces, look half arsed with them lately. For me, just get the ball in the onion bag and stop Cash being Rory Delap, yes he had a good throw, but if I remember, always slagged for it, wiping the ball with his own towel, wasting time. We don't need MacPhee, an if the staff we have can't get the team to take a decent set piece, the problems are starting, we didn't need a specialist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted October 23, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2021 The long throws are starting to bug me. OK for a bit of variety but it's so predictable and whilst he gets good distance it's easy to defend, they don't fizz in like Delap used to.

hippo Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Problem with a set piece coach. Is that I would imagine he is under pressure to produce. Get the team playing decent football and they will be able to defend corners produce a threat from free kicks. For example is an opposition player running to the bye line and putting a cross in different from a corner ???? All this is part of theme running through the club at the moment in that we are overthinking things and trying to be to clever. We tossed away 3 pts last weekend because Luiz needed to be rested for 22 minutes ! We brought Morgan Sanson in Jan for the next season. Get back to basics villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I hate to come across all "Danny Murphy", but this guy really isn't producing results, and I was a lot happier when we didn't have to wait for Matty Cash to run 50 yards and find a towel every time we have a throw in. I'm ready to chalk this down to a failed experiment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 2 hours to see Bailey waddle over to take a throw in that didn't even make it nearly the penalty spot. Add to that the absolute shambles defensively. It don't look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 The whole long throw bs is starting to have a detrimental effect on play. Too much time wasting and poor throws to nobody. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Commentary teams are lauding this guy as a free-thinking genius... I'm like: "here comes another Cash long distance throw-in". Wow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted October 31, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) I think our set pieces have actually deteriorated. Instead of just whipping it in we're constantly trying something overly complicated which doesn't come off because it's too intricate. You've brought everyone up and the ball doesn't even get into the bloody box. And we look really exposed defensively as well.

Davkaus Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Two successes this season, right? The Ings overhead, and Hauses's header. It's not much to shout about 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not much to shout about It's worse than that. I can remember 4 clear times we turned over possession immediately from a throw in. I can remember at least 1 of our 4 corners going badly wrong. I can't think of a long throw that put any pressure on. I can't think of a free kick that was anything special. Seems like an easy gig. Where can I apply? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Was the decision to let Bailey try the long throws MacPhee's? If so it was comically bad. Our defending from set pieces has become a joke, and our own set pieces really poor. All he seemed to be doing today was shouting at Martinez to take free kicks. It's probably best that we move him on, pretend he was never here and say no more about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) I checked the numbers on Whoscored.com to see if I was being harsh on our set peices. We have 2 goals from set peices, putting us at 11th-15th in the table, on course for 7.6 set peice goals this season. We've conceeded 6 from set peices. The second worst in the league. We're on track for 22.8 goals conceeded from set peices this season. Last season we scored 11 from set peices, and only conceeded 7. That is damning. We've already conceeded only one fewer goal from set peices in 10 games than we did all of last season.

The Fun Factory Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Reverting to Pullis tactics when we hardly have any tall players isn't going to work. We play at our best with ball to feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 So we've hired a set piece coach and we are getting a worse return on them. Hope he follows Dean out the door if he's getting the sack, which I think he will should Friday end in defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Hiring a set piece coach isn't necessarily a problem Him looking like he's 3rd in command at the club does... With who we've lost his role sees elevated beyond its intention, he should be way down our pecking order but he's in smiths ear all game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
