A few weeks ago i read a stat saying exactly that. We concede more from set pieces than any other side, many of those pens though.
Williamson coming back in will hopefully help us both sides. Corners is a joke.
Saw the first real example of him dashing directly towards goal Everton style when he came on today, shame his shot was blocked.
Signs that hes closer to his best though. Deserves a start now.
Just one of the most bizarrely inconsistant players around. Looked like Messi against tottenham with his stepovers and skill, then absolutely useless against Swansea & largely Norwich also.
As much as people are going on about the wingers & striker situation.
We're not losing these games due to goals, its purely the defence. We were unlucky not to score 3 today.
Ive backed Pardew over this for quite a while.
But it does just get a bit ridiculous even for me to have a player like Ben Arfa on the bench with the current form of Jonas & Obertan.
Theres no possible logic in it, you get him on the pitch regardless of whats involved.
Was strange when Odemwingie completely sold him earlier in the game, havent seen that in a long time with Colo.
Then just exposed by pace as we've always known.
What an effect on our season this has had.
Really need williamson to get himself up and going to stop this defensive leaking. Scoring 2 goals against Norwich and West brom should never result in losses.
Hes been the realistic link towards our recent form.
No way we'd have conceded 4 at norwich, 3 today etc with Taylor. Our defensive form is what got us up top, now its gone.
