The more up date figure have us 11th for goals scored from set pieces with 11, the best are Palace and West Brom with 19 each and Swansea is bottom with 4 and Liverpool next with 6

Can't find goals conceeded broken down on the same site, but this article from a couple of weeks ago didn't have us in the bottom six.

Most set-piece goals conceded in 2015/16
Corners Direct free-kicks Free-kick situations Total
Liverpool 8 0 3 11
Swansea 6 3 1 10
Bournemouth 6 2 1 9
Newcastle 6 1 2 9
Norwich 4 0 5 9
Man City 5 0 3 8

Set peices clearly aren't a strength of ours at either end but think we have been working on them and improving in recent weeks.

I wouldn't argue with your newer figures,but for a team with the squad we have that should be targeting EL minimum it's poor to say the least,and I'm sure it'll be a subject of discussion at team meetings in Bournemouth this week and other clubs in the coming weeks.What disappointed me today was with the number of corners and free kicks we had no really clear cut chances were created.

Romelu Lukaku 19th June 2015

"As soon as Everton came in for me I rang up Mirallas and asked what he thought, "Don't come here big man, this spanish clown is an utter fruitcake", that was that then, I told my Agent to give Coates a bell at Stoke. I then got a phone call from a friend in the media, he told me that Martinez was getting sacked and David Moyes had already signed a contract to come back, I signed the next day. Gave my media friend a ring a few months ago, Loic Remy answered the phone, laughed and hung up"

We needed to tighten up at all aspects of defending tbh mate, not just set pieces, and think we generally have.

Still a work in progress of course but hopefully if any complacency had crept in with the recent clean sheets then that goal will have wiped it out.
