Everton Set Piece Disorder (ESPD)

[ijjysmith]

Gylface Bjorkersson was signed and we have all seen him whip in excellent excellent service both for Swansea and Iceland. Heck I even remember his dead balls being ace at Reading absolutely beards ago.

It's not just him of course.

Ross Barkley. Born with it.

Leighton Baines tried to fight it off but his age has seen late onset ESPD.

Mikel Arteta thought he'd been immunised against it in Spain but that soon wore out.

There's many many more who have been and still seem to be affected bu this cruel and painful disease.

ESPD - Donate now to help this serious serious problem.

Why are we crap at set pieces though? I mean the lack of actual striker is obvious but we've been crap at them for many a year now.

SigFace is good at them. He is. But not in an Everton shirt. Yet.

Why?

Get Hinchcliffe back.

Get Hinchcliffe back.

Having to listen to his drones this afternoon on co commentary I'd rather not.

We are cursed as a club I think.

Please don't call him Gylface Bjorkersson again otherwise I will cause you severe harm.

My kopite mate said we'd probably lose 6 at half 2 today. Straight after their game. Because that's an everton thing to do. And he wasn't that far wrong.

We do premier league football very very badly.

Even Tom Davies tried his hand at corners today. That was with Rooney, Sigi and Baines all on the pitch.

Prolly some mental block or somethin

First man syndrome.

I wish there was only this one effect of the disease.

However the overhit corner can be seen on the regs too.

Just looked up the stats so I could say "actually set pieces are notoriously poor for goal creation and our record is roughly average"

Well under Moyes we were average/good at set pieces. Since he left we've been woeful at attacking set pieces - like 15th in the league.
