I could imagine Deulofeu doing a job with a free kick. Those toey crosses he does to bring the ball and and down quickly would suit a free kick from about 20-25 yards out.

Given that he hasn't been practicing set pieces for at least two years, let's not write off Baines completely especially when the manager we have knows exactly what a good set piece taker can do.

Do you think he's lost a bit of confidence with them or maybe just not practising enough?

Maybe both, but a major part is lack of practise. Beckham used to hit tons of freekicks every training session so he'd have the muscle memory when it was time for the real thing.

It was, but look at the distance and power.

Of a fashion. Bit of a sick joke mate.

Yes I thought so - joke by all means, but joking about someone hanging, which I think is what you were implying, is a bit too far.

Don't repeat it thanks.

And late movement too.

Don't get me wrong. It was a very well taken freekick. Just thought the GK could have done a bit better.

Very flippant of me. Sorry.

As @gav1985 said Hinchcliffe could put the ball exactly where he wanted, top delivery.
