Welcome Charlie Adam

[JLW]

What are we paying him for?

I think its to tell Garner to float crosses to the backpost to Tarkoswki, ye know the same tactic we done before he was here.

To answer your question i have no idea.

The only players that can head the ball are all in defence. And all easily picked up and marked out because there's not much else left. Picked out a Doucoure none header on Saturday and how it reminded me of another moment from Beto earlier in the season. On both occasions I was overwhelmed with laughter.
We're appalling in so many areas, even just basics. The good thing is Moyes will at least sign a few competent players, so we'll improve and it'll be a noticeable immediate improvement (so long as he can avoid 'Simon Davies' type signings).

It's frustrating seeing corner after corner go straight into the keepers hands or the same routine. Tarkowski at the back post to try head it back across goal. So predictable and as you say easily defended against

Bring back Woany

We're a shambles, these last games can't be over soon enough. Soft touch Everton has got to go. It's got to the point now the support and the players don't bother asking for free kicks, as even when awarded they're a waste of bleeding time.

Corner Everton, 'quick quick put the best header on the front post and put two players on Tarkowski!'. Semi capable keepers collect the rest.

Entire situation needs a rethink.

In decades of watching the blues, I can honestly say I have never seen such abysmal set-pieces

 

[Sharpies volley]

Get shut.

 

[Davideeyore]

Only Moyes will know what impact he's had.

So far we seem to have regressed.

Piss stained and Kopite = interchangeable descriptions.

So if they can’t pick out a cross, maybe do something inventive from a free kick or corner? Haven’t seen us try anything different from a corner for years.

Take your point , and i agree, we do very much lack imagination, to be honest not just on set pieces but with attacking in general. But for balance , I think Everton have scored about 13 goals from set pieces which fairs quite well in comparison to other Premier league teams. We do have a big team with obrien and branthwaite and tarkowski , so this should be a strength and Charlie Adam or no Charlie Adam, premier league players should be able to put the ball in the box for these big guys to attack

 

[Phil1978]

Qualifies him to be a set piece were really good at set pieces when Dyche was was here

Yes that's true. Maybe we should have kept Dyche on as set piece coach. Just to confirm , I am also no fan of Charlie Adam and don't know what exactly qualifies him to be a set piece coach except to say Moyes must see something and so we either trust Moyes or not, that's an individual thing. But still stand by the fact that premier league footballers should be able to cross a ball for the likes of obrien , tarkowski and branthwaite to attack , and to be fair we have scored 13 goals from set pieces

Its also quite remarkable that we continue with this tactic knowing Tarks isn’t even on the pitch.

Set pieces were the only way we looked like scoring in the first half of the season, now we just pass it to the opposition.
