We just haven't got a good enough target to aim for anymore with Carroll gone and Nolan's presence on the goalkeeper gone.

 

It'd help if the corners were decent though as this season quite a few have been awful by him.

He could learn a lot from Gerrard on Sunday about how to control and dictate a game, something he has rarely done for us.

 

Not saying he's faultless or anything this season but it's gotta be hard for him to dictate games where he's either watching balls float over his head all game or out numbered in the middle.

It depresses me watching him pick up the ball from the defense. It's like hiring an artist to emulsion your walls.

Somewhat ironic that since the "perfect corner" toss was mentioned, our corners have become beyond awful.

 

They've been awful since we got promoted tbf.

 

The corner set-piece against the mackems caught them right off-guard tbf, where we crossed it low into Colo. Nearly scored!

The Cabaye/Tiote partnership is far better than we give it credit for. Even when it's 3 against 2 in midfield they put up a decent fight. Tiote allows Cabaye to play that little bit further up and Cabaye allows Tiote to play a more simplistic game.

 

Without Tiote, Cabaye plays ridiculously deep.

 

Since AC/Nolan/Barton left everything about our set-pieces have been terrible. Cabaye shouldn't be taking them, he's shit at indirect freekicks. It's pathetic the way it's actually a good idea to bring on Raylor because he can put in a good set-piece. Only for Willo to waste it. Nobody goes to the front post. Shit all over.

Definitely this, I thought 'great, Krul is playing it out of defe..... fuckkkk is Cabaye doing there!!!'

 

Isn't this what Cabaye himself said he wants? He's not going to get 100 touches in a game full stop but it's dropping deeper where he'll get the ball more often (in theory).

Yeah shame you can only do it once a game if that
