Jayson Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 It actually worked better today, it led to the pen & Williamson was winning a lot. We should mix it up more clearly though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Odd thing is, it actually had a good degree of success today - no one else was ever on the same page as him. When he went for goal, others gambled with runs, when he went to cushion headers, they stood still waiting for the net to ripple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Ah but you see Dave, whilst it didn't work at all in the past, Williamson did actually connect with a few today. Progress Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Note the 'every time'. It's a fucking joke man, unless I missed it, not once did Cabaye put a ball in with any whip or pace. Not once was there a delivery intended to land in that corridor of uncertainty, like Baines did yesterday for Everton's third for example. Every time it's the same idea man, it's ridiculous.

timeEd32 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 In ten years time we'll be looking back fondly at this era and the absurdity of running the same "play" on every single set piece. At the moment it is incredibly irritating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Was gonna start this exact thread myself. We won a free kick on 28 mins which was in a brilliant position to hit the space between defenders and keeper, Cabaye drilled it to the back post. Having given it some thought today I actually think its a defensive tactic designed to not get caught on the break by a defensive header at the near post.

BoSelecta Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Note the 'every time'. It's a f***ing joke man, unless I missed it, not once did Cabaye put a ball in with any whip or pace. Not once was there a delivery intended to land in that corridor of uncertainty. Every time it's the same idea man, it's ridiculous. Althought it brought a slight improvement in chances today, we've been doing it for 2 years now and todays the only time I can think of it being affective. Ba and Cisse are both big lads and good in the air. What Dave says about delivering the ball with whip and pace would bring far more success than a dink to the far post. This has been one of my most frustrating things about our tactics for a while, along with Williamson lauching it from the back at every given opportunity. He was decent today, but please, kindly sit on the bench every week Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I've no idea of why we keep aiming these set pieces at Williamson. He's just too weak to be a real force. Taylor offers far more strength and agression. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Sums up how one-dimensional we are atm. An absolute joke. So much this. For me, Pardew has to come up with some more inventive set pieces now, what we're doing clearly isn't working so we must address this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 When was the last time we were good at set pieces? Robert/Solano and Shearer? Tbf we scored a fair few from set-pieces just 2 seasons ago but we had Carroll & Nolan as focal points to that. Ba is a big bloke but he's not like Carroll in that respect. We do have Taylor mind.

JH Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 THE NEWCASTLE UNITED GUIDE TO PLAYING FOOTBALL. ATTACKS: 1. Pass to Ben Arfa, he runs around a couple of tries a pass to an attacker, which is intercepted. Sometimes, he has shot which is saved and parried for a corner (see set pieces). 2. Get the ball to Jonas/Santon, he passes to Jonas/Santon and they cross. Cross is met by goalkeeper/defender/over-hit. 3. Hoof the ball to Ba/Cisse. They miss header and defender clears easily. SET PIECES: 1. Float to Williamson. Defender intercepts. 2. Float to Williamson. He misses header. 3. Float to Williamson. His header lands nowhere.
