Throw ins

It about retaining (or not in Everton's case) possession of the ball. When we get a throw in there's only a 50/50 chance of keeping possession. Teams that have throw ins against us seem to do much better than that.

How many throw ins have you studied from opposition teams to come to this conclusion?

 

[coollino]

Remember that time an Everton player did a foul through, the opposition scored from their resulting throw in

Blight on the game throw ins.

Should be allowed to lamp it up to Rom like a corner. But that probably wont make much difference.

Love the idea of the OP studying a throw in and raging about it. Good niche.

Pound for pound, who is the best throw-in taker you have seen live?

I know it's a bit niche but come on ours are beyond woeful.

Well throw in stats are hard to find, but we certainly arent the worst team in the league at them, infact, last seasons Champions were the worst offenders last season, I guess its not something we need to be concerned with.


In the hustle and bustle of a Premier League match, finding your team-mate with a pass when the ball is in play can be difficult. Under pressure, out of breath and using feet or head – body parts not genetically designed for the accurate dissemination of a spherical object – it is hard. Your hands, however, are exactly perfect for the job. To fail to find your team-mate with a throw-in is the height of ineptitude. Leicester, that Leicester, are the worst offenders and have failed to keep possession from a throw-in 276 times this season – that’s 7.6 times a game. Even for a team that play better when the opposition has the ball, that’s mind-boggling. They’re actually worse at throw-ins now than they were last season (when they did it 251 times after 37 games). In a season in which they’ve done everything so well, it’s genuinely heartwarming to think that, in at least one department, they’re utterly bobbins. We’ll give them 10 points for their ineptness, with eight for the second-worst offenders (Norwich and Watford, 221 times each) and six for the third-worst (West Brom, 208). Finally, some cheer for Arsenal fans – your side are the best at not throwing the ball to the opposition (the team did it 57 times). So that’s something.

Get Delap on!

The English footballer who reminds me most of John Elway. (sigh)

He could drive a nail into the back post with one of those throw ins. Only us Yanks can properly appreciate that kind of work.

Touching on this, we have to be the worst team in the prem when it comes to throw ins. I have never seen a team who loses possession so much from their throw in

You have stolen my fume!!

At least it appears the club are addressing the issue by making thrown ins an integral part of medicals.

I remember their first season back up playing at the Britannia...think we won 3-2, but Delap gave us fits that day...it was frightening. As good as a cross if not better.
