But the point of set pieces isn't to beat the first man, it's to put the ball in the danger area with enough pace so that attackers score. Any pub footie player can chip in ball into to box but that would result in no goals. Beating the first man with pace and keeping it in the box is hard...

What do think of Pickford so far Dave? Early days but he looks a bit special. We seem to have a bit more snide in the team now too.

But you need to get the ball to them. Our passing was the issue.

Depends if he likes a gamble. The subs he made got us a point. The subs he didn't make might have won the game but also might have lost it. The real problem was a lack of composure and too many long balls. Mirallas and Lookman are quick but they also give the ball away a lot. Subs can never be...

The tactics worked and would have resulted in a win but for a bad error. City had all the ball but they were never laying siege and ironically the main times they threatened was on the counter attack.

Desperate to be liked by other clubs, pat on the heads? Literally no idea what you are talking about. Being a fan of team doesn't mean you need to be a twunt. It's just a game.

It was an off hand comment on a forum. Not sure political manifesto. The lad just meant he is glad Pickford went to us rather than someone else because of the bradley connection. Nothing wrong with that.

You need to get a bit perspective in your life. You think it's not ok to be friendly with other fans and accuse others of acting like 6 year olds? Jesus wept.

You're making a fool of yourself on this. You don't get to decide what is poor taste. Nothing offensive in what he said. Complete hysterical overreaction.

Exactly, the ball will be in the air so much he'll probably get a neck injury. He could have been the player to break us into the top 4 but that fat long ball merchant would prefer us to finish 7th playing hoof ball.

You're beyond parody by this point. Bobby is gone. You were wrong about him and pretty much everything. Best to admit it , move on. Koeman is moving this club forward in every way. Don't recall us winning EPL2 when El Fraudo was here.

Any excuse to have a pop at Ronald. There is always a clamour from fans to get young players in the team too soon. The reality is most players don't make the step up. Koeman sees Dowell day in day out, Koeman is an all time great player who knows what it takes to get to the top, if he thinks a...

Yeah good run. He might take a while to settle because his game is all about movement, finding space and late runs into the box. No impressive so far but he wi hopefully improve as we get used to the sort of runs he makes.

We badly need a playmaker and a pacy attacker based on pre season. We have never replaced Pienaar and Arteta (even Osman). Barkley was our only ball player last year. Morgan, Gana and Davy is not a good blend as none of them are good enough on the ball.
