Set pieces

[kiss the crest]

I was thinking last night with the recent signings we have made, how good is our set pieces going to be this season.

Free kicks outside the box, we have Dinge Siggy and Bernard looking to pop one in.
Then from the side of the penalty box whipping the ball in, we have Mina, Zouma, Rico, Tosen and Gomes in the box all 6ft plus.

But then we concede a set piece and zonal marking ruins it all.

Mina is that tall he can defend the whole zone on his own so we are sound

Another challenge for the Icelandic invisible man to overcome.

Let’s see if he rises to it. Or floats away. All invisible like.

Does Digne take feee kicks?

At least he will actually have something to aim at this year though C.

No reason, or excuse, for him not to have a good season now.

Yes mate very good as well

The excuse will be: “well he’s been dropped for Bernard so he can’t get a run of form”

Seen it already

 

[Westend Blue]

Siggy should rack up a few assists this year from dead balls

I think they will both get plenty of game time in the same starting 11 as it is so time shall certainly tell.

This.
Marking space...if the man comes into you zone you mark him, sounds good in theory, until the man is on the edge of your space and on the edge of your mates space, a split seconds hesitation about whose man he is, then it's ...goooooooooooooaaaaal...'free header, where did he come from, who was marking him'
Mark the man who might score the goal, not the space he might or might not run into run into.

When was the last time that 'space' was the leading goal scorer for any team.

Surely the Icelandic fanboys are fickle enough to move on to our diminutive Brazilian when he’s spraying pure sex all over the football pitch?

 

[Jadubsee]

I just want us to start taking some decent corners again. Maybe it's the turd-tinted Everton glasses, but our corners have seemed totally powder puff compared with those from every other team in the league over the past few years.

You would hope so but they are so very staunch in support of their man.

 

[Daithi]

Wasn't Richarlison the most fouled player in the premiership last season? Mina showed his aerial prowess in the WC plus he's 6ft 7 and according to Peter Crouch, Zouma's leap is so good he can touch the roof with his head! We should definitely be using all of this to our advantage.
