Finally some good,threating setpieces on the horizon

[faddy the blue]

I'm pretty relieved now that Mikel the magician will be once again be entrusted in taking all our set pieces. That means more goals and hopefully more goals from Cahill

Baines' deliveries have been very poor this season.

This would be my pecking order for the responsibilites of set pieces:

1. Arteta (everytime but when he's not fit)
2.Donovan
3.Billy ( I know he has it in him,just needs to be given the oppurtunity)
4.Pienaar ( he can deliver em well but not the best at set pieces still in my books but better than Baines)

5.Baines (when there's noone else)

 

[Seamus Colemole]

But even Artetas were hit and miss for ages before his injury.

He was much much better than Baines even when not at his best. Noone can deliver them inch perfect week in week out.

Thought Donovan's deliveries haven't been too bad. Birmingham swept them all up today like.

We need someone who can deliver them from the right.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Except of course Beckham and Ronaldo always a threat when they line it up.

Mind giving Billy a chance? He has a good left foot and from the left he can deliver some good inswingers with pace

For his first game with us yes, since then his deliveries have been a pile of tosh. There's time yet but weird how they went awful.

Haven't seen him take corners for us? They never beat the first man.

Baines has lost form in set pieces

 

[Upper Sturry Sherbets]

have to go now, but why wasn't Arteta brought on before he was today.

too late to make a difference.

I only saw Billy taking corners against AEK Athens at GP and he set up the goal with his first corner and the 2nd corner. Since then,It's been Baines' left foot which has been very dissapointing. The only other left footed candidate is Billy and he can take them, he took them at Locomotive aswell

So far the pace of our league has him struggling. He is a work in progress but you could see today he just can't play a tight game Brum was springing on him. I just don't think he has a confidence boost to up his game yet.

First game back after a year? I'm surprised Moyes played him at all to be honest.

Like I said, in his first (full) game.

His deliveries in the games after that were dire.

True and that's why I want to give him some responsibility. Something he knows he is good at even when he's having a bad game.

They used to be. Then they went crap.

It was the same thing the majority of times. The 2 hands go up and the first man is hit.

Its long been a problem of ours poor set pieces. Yet we still seem to score a lot from them :huh:

The lack of good set pieces have contributed to Cahill's lack of goals this season apart from the fact that his overall game has been pretty poor
