Dead ball situations

[DualityNSNO]

Mina will score off a set piece before Christmas. And hopefully that will happen at Anfield.

And hopefully more than once, for a good solid win.

We just don't have that many players who are great at attacking a ball in the air.
Zouma, maybe Mina. Holgate, Keane, Tosun, Calvert-Lewin are just decent.
You can't have it all and it's not a priority for how we recruited or how we set up.
Would you be replacing Coleman, Digne, Gana, Bernard, Lookman for someone who can dominate at dead balls?

We don't do headers.

 

[marcus]

We do need to work on set pieces....

We need more goals from our defenders & midfielders too....

 

[bluestevon]

..we lost Sigurdsson ahead of getting a few free kicks in decent positions. Digne whips the ball in but hits more bad ones than good ones.

For me it's about how it's delivered, digne comes from Barca, not gonna be pumping it into the mix usually given the way they play, mina anyway should with sigurdsson give us a massive threat going onwards

 

[Barnfred 55]

We don't do headers.

We've actually scored 6. Second highest in the Premier league this season I'm reliably informed.

There was a stat on Sky during the match. 'Chances created from set pieces'. We were 1st. I kid you not.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

I think we should sometimes take a gamble with a cross with in open play. Bernard was in good positions to cross today but overplayed a bit.

 

[WA Toffee]

I thought most of our crosses went into the right areas, we just didn’t attack them properly. Much better today than they usually are

Was criminal the amount of times we choose to not cross today, we did it with seconds left in the first half.
Bernard was great at Leicester but he isn't making that move every week, needs to learn if a cross is on take it

 

[Furey1878]

Didn't we have 2 in the first half that Gomes and Mina should have buried?

 

[andyblue]

how many did Chelsea score against us?

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Jags playing the cross field sidewinder straight out for a goal kick....

I missed those days

That was shocking. Last chance to get man forward and give them something to think about, and our portly captain sidefoots it casually over everybody's head and out for a goal kick. Thank God he'll not start another game for us again.

That amazes me.
