Set Pieces

[dayday]

Zonal marking and a grounded keeper, same shit,  same result 

[Corky]

Nobody taking responsibility, nobody giving enough of a shit to do anything about it.

[FrankieADZ]

oh look again from a set piece, not once but twice, this is a massive running joke from us atm, Rodgers will lose his job soon if not carful 

[Brooksy]

Another cross

[Lcfc82]

We’ve never been any good at them but we are on a different level of bad now.

 

Absolute shambles, there’s no way we can possibly be doing any work on them in training 

[turlo]

Shit at defending crosses in general and making it far too easy for opposition wide players to get crosses in

[Nod.E]

Why not just try something different? At least if we saw men on posts or man to man marking, we'd know something different has been worked on.

 

What on earth is the point in persisting in something that has been proven to fail miserably?

[matty98]

Wtf have we actually done to address this? I'm sure we put someone on the far post a few weeks ago and didn't concede yet we've stopped doing it again? 

[Stinkenzo]

It's got to be a tiny bit of a mental thing now as well just pure inability to deal with them

Because it's too comfortable. Rodgers gets no criticism from anyone outside the club- the fans boo and we're the problem.

You'd think they'd be determined not to concede from them though. I don't see any determination. 

[foxfanazer]

We have a combination of a shit zonal system, nobody reacting to the ball coming in, no aggression to get to the ball first, a keeper that has his feet glued to his line and no ****er on the back post. Once or twice you can forgive but when you're talking about double figures then it's nothing short of negligence

Put all 11 players on the goal line on set pieces might have a better chance

Of defening it.

[bovril]

Don't think I've ever been more annoyed by Leicester than by this shit 

[Sir Shep]

Give teams a 3 goal advantage if they promise not to score from a set piece. Seriously though I don’t think I can ever recall a team as bad as this at defending from corners and free kicks. 

[adam]

Wheres Rob huth? Get him back in the side 

[Cincinnati Fox]

Get rid of zonal shite, man mark and take responsibility 

[Plastik Man]

Schmeichel. 

 

He never comes for any cross. Our defence is shaky, but when the keeper behind them will never leave his line for a cross, it makes it more difficult for them.

 

Compare him with the Villa keeper claiming the ball on the edge of his 6 yard box.

 

He's our captain. A leader. He can't even organise the defence. When he is so flawed defending crosses, would anyone listen to him anyway?

 

He is a strong character. A leader "in the group",  but he is not dominating his own area.

 

He's alluded to wanting to play more Champions league. Surely a call for a transfer in the summer?

 

I think he knows he's near the end?  I think we need a change to progress.

 

Of course he's been  brilliant for us for many years. We all know that. But his strong leadership and influence in the squad now appears to be holding us back.

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

I say we put all 11 on the line. Can't be any worse. Stick Kasper on the six yard line the other 10 behind on the line.

You'd think Toure would be half decent, what's he do down there, sat with his thumb up his arse? Get rid, save his wages to get another coach with some defensive nous! Shouldn't the goalkeeping coach be giving Schmeichel some schooling on crosses ie tell him he doesn't need an invite to come of his line and can use his hands, in fact that would have been helpful advice years ago. If he's not comfortable, practice until he is, no-one's untouchable. 

[Vacamion]

 

We need to buy a 7 foot tall keeper who charges out.

And this will be Rodgers’ downfall. His inflexibility and inability to adapt to the situation he is facing.
