Set pieces - again 11:51 - Dec 23 with 401 views | PatfromPoole | I really feel we have suffered with not having a dedicated set-piece coach. With us creating so little in open play, we simply have to be more of a threat from set-pieces. We had a number of corners in the second-half, but never looked like scoring from any of them. There is very little imagination in our corners. You look at some of the goals Boscombe have scored from set-pieces, and they are clever, you can tell they properly practise them. Marginal gains and all that nonsense has rarely seemed so apt. | |

It was the questions we had wrong. |

But it doesn't necessarily have to be a cross. We could play it short, or out to a player on the edge of the area. Keep the opposition guessing; we just don't have that variety or element of surprise about us. | |

Set pieces - again on 15:32 - Dec 23 with 198 views | Ifonly | Yes, Arsenal have been fantastic from set pieces this year without being a particularly big side in the way that maybe Everton are. They are just "clever" i.e. they have specific plans where everyone has a defined role and they know how much cheating they can get away with. For a club of our limited means and first year back in the PL, the sensible plan was always to defend tight and maximise set pieces and counter attacks. Unfortunately we had a manager who didn't have a clue what he was doing. Hopefully we're beginning to move on. | | | |
