JCONA Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Just can't understand why it's aimed at him when both Taylor and Ameobi are on the pitch- both much stronger headers of the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 actually referred to it as the long willy on saturday jesus christ what a depressing waste of corners/free kicks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 So you are saying that it´s ok that we haven´t scored a goal, or even coming close, to score a corner more than 1 years ago? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 It's funny how since coming back up to the Premiership, we've very rapidly gone from being a team that's heavily reliant on wide play and set pieces to being a team that doesn't do any of either.

NEEJ Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 It's funny how since coming back up to the Premiership, we've very rapidly gone from being a team that's heavily reliant on wide play and set pieces to being a team that doesn't do any of either. We don't seem to do much of anything at the moment. Just give the ball to Hatem and hope for the best. If he's not on, lump it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I absolutely detest how every fucking free kick, no matter what the sitution or position on the field, has to be howked into the opposition area, we almost never take a quick free kick like every other team in the planet. An utterly bizarre way to play the game if you ask me, moreso if you've absolutely no fucking aerial threat whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I simply can't comprehend how bad our set pieces are, I think anyone from here could turn up to training and show them some better set pieces than what we do currently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Even when we have the chance to whip the ball in, we go for the chip/aimless punt that usually results in a foul against or a goal kick. Or worse, a quick counter attack from the opposition. We slow the game down everytime we get a free kick. No urgency whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Would like to know how many set pieces each side has had to see how good or bad everyone is at them in general, logically since man u and city probably have more corners and free kicks around the box than anyone else so more of a chance to score from one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The fucking Mike Williamson thing is actually making me not want to watch our games. It's so embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The f***ing Mike Williamson thing is actually making me not want to watch our games. It's so embarrassing. I honestly don't know why we keep doing it. Better to just aim for Demba or Cisse tbh, Williamson gets no power on them and they always end in nothing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
