Open Play Goal Stats......

I'd still like us to be able to add set piece goals as well.........

 

[pablo 1878]

That would definitely suggest plenty of room for improvement in the set-piece department. A goal is a goal for me, I've got no time for snobbery about set-piece goals

 

[Dithering Dougie]

It's bloody Tim Howard's fault..

 

[PaddyG]

Love a good goal from a set piece, me.*

Seeing Big Dunc/Tim Cahill wheel away after nodding in a whipped in corner/free kick was a delight.

*All goals gleefully accepted.

 

[PaddyG]

Martinez will be creaming at that stat though.

That's harsh Doug. Not EVERYTHING is Howard's fault
...Just most things

We're gonna win the satisfying goals league, we're gonna win the satisfying goals league, and now yer gonna believe us, and now yer...

 

[Coffee and TV]

Hopefully Baines coming back will make us a bit better at set pieces

 

[neil999]

not all about delivery, not sure we have many 1st team players who are great in the air

It's also worrying from a defending point of view.

 

[Lowste]

If honest would be more concerned if the majority of goals were coming from set pieces, this would prove we couldn't break teams down.
surprised on the stat, but sure we will get a spate of goals from set pieces

 

[MACCA75]

We have the shortest team in the Prem apparently, which can't help. Boy wonder taking the set pieces isn't helping either.

Sorry mate......

 

[toffeemax]

would love to see a stat at how many we concede from set pieces as well, score the fewest, concede the most, the Martinez way!
