Defending Set Pieces

It's a terrible article. It literally has an entire section talking about how many of the goals have come from free kicks where we're not using zonal marking and then says 'in summary it's all zonal marking's fault'. Pretty much the standard I expect from the echo these days.

Typical lazy echo journalism when it comes to us.

Someone should write, ' Work on Set Pieces' on a post-it-note, and whack it on Marco's forehead.

Make that 15 or 16 in all comps this season.

Little Marco doesn't have a clue. What a loser.

For one night only.... I'm converted !!

At some point, you have to make a play as a player. Marco can't play for them. Two guys sitting right in the middle of the D. Just standing there. Right there. No one even adjusts to the ball or attempts to win it.

True. However if aerial anticipation is not a strong suit of your players, than you fix the system in order to accomodate your squad. Not just stand by and squander dozens of points.

A stubborn little baby. That is what Little Marco is.

Said it in the match thread but can the defenders not say “we never conceded like this at our previous clubs, we defended set pieces like x,y,z etc.” To whatever knobhead is trying to organise them in training?

Terminate the jokers loan

As said in match thread, giving away a wide free kick is like giving away a pen for these clown shoes.

It's 17, another stat 49% of all goals that Silvas teams in the PL have let in have been from set pieces.

Knew we should have signed Crouch

First of all the high line is ridiculous.
Our slow defenders ends up running towards goal while trying to head to ball clear in the opposite direction the ball flew from while “defending” his zone and at the same time react within split second any opposing players running towards goal with a running jump which is going to be a massive advantage.

Well done Marco.
