Set pieces

[Stadt]

Since Shakey took the reigns we've been markedly better at attacking set pieces and I think that's been reflected in our recruitment too and here's an article on our corners so far this season by the excellent @esdfanalysis on twitter

Since he took over we've been doing things differently from set pieces but we still look dodgy defending them.

If we went back through the forum, we can see we have been crap at set pieces at both ends since the Pearson era, been an issue never resolved in the time.

Just getting the ball in the box is a bonus! Maguire mainly reponsible for an increased threat and would be even better if Morgan kept out of his way.

Yes shakey did a great job teaching the players to point at Rashford 

[Tuna]

He admitted in his post match United it's still our 'Achilles heel'.

Have looked better at attacking set pieces but it took well into second half to even get a corner at Utd I think!

 

Defending corners especially is diabolical at times....

Gray and riyad improved a lot this season IMO, their crosses have a great balance between power and curve/dip,think the management helped them.

Agreed

Attacking set pieces ..no problem...but defending them i only feel confident when Ulloa is on the pitch (not very often ) he takes up a position at the front edge of the 6 yard box and cuts most of them out. Something we didnt do again against  M.Utd.

Getting fed up with conceding from these.

It’s almost like we need to score 4, 2 before half time as we are nailed on to concede a couple a game!

[Guest Kopfkino]

Our defending from them is a joke. All comes down to the keeper and two centre halves. Need Huth.

[Tuna]

13 out of 30 goals this season conceded from set pieces according to RL...

[Rasmic123]

Bloody set pieces

[Rogstanley]

For all the praise Maguire gets for being somewhat comfortable on the ball, his defensive positioning is shite.

[ZeGuy]

This seriously can't keep going on. We concede them at the worst possible time and it's shattering the team morale. It cost us the game today. 

[Harry96]

Been going on for far too long now

Absolutely disgusting. So so frustrating

[peterborofox]

Every away game except Bournemouth and Huddersfield we've conceded goals from a set piece or from a poor clearance from set piece. 

 

It's beyond a joke.

 

Do we even work on them at all??

[lifted*fox]

we're shit at defending set-pieces and kasper is shit as organising and sorting set-pieces out.

 

what the **** are our backroom team doing ffs. ANYTHING? we've been ****ing awful at this shit for YEARS.

 

what's mike stowel doing? who ****ing knows.

 

take him out back and finish him like old yeller. goalkeeping coach my ass.

[yorkie1999]

All we need to do is stick a player on the back post. Their second today saw 2 of their players in space at the back with a near enough open goal.

[Soar Fox]

I’m getting fed up of everyone coming back to defend a corner leaving nobody upfront. 

 

Leave Vardy & Mahrez on the halfway line and you’ll see the opposition leave 4 players back to defend them.
