Being able to defend a set piece has 0 impact on the style of football a manager want to play. We’ve been terrible at it for 3+ years now. This is nothing new! The fact that the only time we have seen a little bit of an improvement is under BFS images me I’ll. Silva teams ship too many goals and that is a fact that can’t be argued. Hull, Watford now Everton. The lack of self awareness too fail to improve on such a major weakness in the way your teams play is scary. :rant:

For the free kick yesterday, defend a bit deeper and put people on the posts. A defender near the post where the ball entered the net yesterday would have cleared it easily. Defending deeper also brings the delivery of the ball into the zone where the keeper can come for it. If we had a keeper who ever came for balls like that.
 

Brands should grow a pair and tell Silva that he is getting a defence coach in to help. On Monday. And the defensive coach should pick the back line and defensive midfield for every match and will make defensive substitutions.

If Silva is not happy with that, Do one.

Brands/Moshiri/Kenwright - you’d think someone would step in to help address this. Silva’s obviously been struggling with it for the last three years :(
