Set Pieces

[ToxtethBlue]

on what basis, ffs i see him touted on here as the saviour and all round expert at everything.
i repeat on what basis ?
it's not like he was in artetas vein of form and is coming back, he's that good at everything there's a world eleven with just him in it cos he's been fifa's player of the year in every position.

i cringe when the "andy , andy van starts up" he doesnt deserve his name to be sang !!

if he proves me wrong i'll hold my hands up, but somehow i doubt it.

He rates him, there's nothing wrong with that.

i just dont get the use of "obvious choice". i don't see why he's the obvious choice.

Think that's absolutely spot on regarding Av/dM. Sadly, but surely a has been, who failed to live up to the expectations.

Because he's got a good right foot maybe?

maybe, but if thats the case can the rest of his sorry ass carcass carry it round for the rest of the season.

Looked perfectly fine to me when he whipped in that excellent cross for Dan Gosling's goal.

we'll see how long he lasts then, i will be more shocked if he completes the season in the team tbh.

Maybe so, you could say that about any of our players though. One game at a time so to speak.

We are talking about now though, what players Moyes has available to us who are decent at set pieces. At the moment he's fit and available and Dom obviously believes he's the man for the job.

VDM IS EXCELLENT.

Hes not tho is he.

Well... yeah he is? How is he not excellent?

 

[Kenyon]

Osman's corners are often better than artetas. They're wicked and right in the box. Not sure about his free kicks

 

[Rook]

Osman and Baines take good corners. Not sure about free kicks though. I guess Baines will have to take them and if they are close enough for a shot on goal then Jo will take it.

 

[Neiler]

Ive always thought Ossies corners though percise lack a bit of pace!

 

[toffeebhoy]

i dont think we hav another option from dead balls other than arteta...sure we have had others who strike them but if you notice ( or i hav on our freekicks) whoever takes it just wants to whack it towards goal.....no prior thinking went into it....

i.e baines and jags both have had pops and the word embarrassing springs to mind ...but as long as they go in it will have me jumping.....
