I would change that to since Laursen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 It’s strange isn’t it how things take time to work on before they start showing consistent results. I do wonder who the long throw at any opportunity instruction came from though. That got a bit tiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it given the performances but it's quite funny I don't think too many people questioned his work on set pieces when we're attacking. We had a few set piece goals earlier in the season where he was rightfully praised (e.g. after Hause's winner against Man U). The question was whether he was helping us defend set pieces. We gave up quite a few goals from those late in Deano's reign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAnty Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 This man is stealing a living. Set pieces are getting worse and I didn’t think that was possible when he took over. Might as well kick the ball into the stand when we get a dangerous free kick or corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 It’s worth watching our disallowed goal against Man U closely. If you watch Ramsey and Buendia they both positioned themselves about 5 yards offside just inside the box and don’t move through the whole set piece. Presumably they are acting out a set play and are there to attempt to block off defenders runs. The only thing is that is not allowed. Offside attackers should not interfere with play and should get out of the way to let the onside players play. It is frustrating because it seems like we’ve attempted to be too cute without actually understanding the rules. It’s likely that had Ramsey and Buendia pushed up and kept themselves onside, like attackers normally do, Ings would have scored anyway and the goal could have stood.

jimmygreaves Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Seems like the 19 other teams in the Prem need to change their set pieces too. Everyone blocks runs during free kicks. Strange that the offside rule needs to re-written when Villa play in Manchester. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made it so obvious by being so far offside that all Cavani had to do was run towards one and fall down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
