The College Dropout Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 How hard is it to just whip it in to an area and attack the ball. If we are going to do the same thing every other set piece then I wish we just did that. Ask Yohan, Pards, Dekka & the Fatman. You can blame Dekka and Ashley for a lot of things but I don't think they have much input on our set piece routines. Not one of our first XI players is good at set-pieces. Pardew said they would look to bring in a set-piece specialist on that radio show.... nothing happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabs corners have been piss poor though but with his range of passing and the way he strikes his direct free kicks you have to think he has the ability to whip in a decent cross from a dead ball. I wonder if he's being told to hit the near post on corners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he's being told to hit the near post on corners. Why would he be told to hit the front post? There's never anyone there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Pards is still playing FM12 and is trying to use the corner exploit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Yeah Cabs has tekkers but he's no good at corners and indirect freekicks. We've known this for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pintofscottsellers Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Aye same, stick HBA on corners and let him go for goal every time, more chance of scoring that floating it to Williamson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
