I actually don't have a problem with the club going for a tall and dominating CB in both boxes should Colo leave, would compliment Yanga-Mbiwa very well IMO.

 

Plus considering MYM's pace the player in question wouldn't have to be quick either.

 

 

 

Just hope he isn't pinning his hopes on that fixing everything.

 

Find it astounding he didn't mention our approach play, and how we drive forward. Because that is our biggest issue

 

For sure was just talking about the Centre Back debate ( if there even is one :lol: ) everyone knows what our problems are i'm sure even Pardew does but i doubt he knows how to fix them.

I think the most effective corner we've taken I remember in the current regime (AND GOD IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO) was a short ball to ben arfa, who ran into the box, was tripped and we were given a penalty

 

So f***ing long ago can't remember who it was against  :lol: :lol:

Totally agree, I don't think he has a clue how to fix the issues and clutches at straws (Big 6ft 4 ones at that)

The actual quote about the fullbacks is: "it's not like we play with our two fullbacks staying at home, they're encouraged to get forward and at times it's cost us in terms of goals conceded in terms of their progression up the pitch, but they haven't delivered the goals. I think Mathieu Debuchy, to be fair, has got a goal in him and I'd like to think he'd get two or three next year."

 

It comes after a question related to the stat that over the two Man Utd defeats, 4 of their 8 goals were scored by defenders, while none of our defenders scored at all in the entire season (aside from Santon when pushed up at Wigan).

 

Pardew himself then moves it on to praise the current FB pool generally and puts a focus on the failure of the central defenders to score from set plays.

 

So it's not as bad as it seems by a long stretch.

 

 

So put into context it isn't really that negative, fair enough.

 

What was the full quote around 6ft 4" players?

 

"We need to have more dominance in that area and it's all well and good saying the set play problem is down to tactics, delivery or whatever. Ultimately you need 6-foot-4 in this division to go and head it in or at least get first contact on it to head it across the box and we've not had that all year."

 

Even if i gave him the benefit of the doubt and allowed him this excuse, why is he then getting us to attempt them every time we get a free kick anywhere close to the half way line. :lol:

Not sure if serious :s

 

But if so I actually give up the thread of hope he might have learnt from this season. Surely misquote or April fools surely!

Our poor corners and free kicks have everything to do with delivery, if he doesn't see that then he's not going to sort it out.  Usually if you're going to score from a header it's going to be from a delivery at pace and at a height which allows the player to divert the ball towards goal but the main thing is that the ball has pace, something which ours constantly lack.

 

Exactly right. People talk about all the goals Evra has scored from corners this season, but the fact he has so many, and that Man Utd have more in total than anyone, is all about RVP's delivery, which is exceptional.

terrified about this summer if he's convinced them we need more "battlers" and "big men" to fix our problems

He's right, we've never had anyone under 6'4" that could score a header.  Gary Speed was a figment of our imagination.  Everton fans are still deluded that Tim Cahill was under 6', he was a giant.

The Twin Tower striker force we had was an unfair advantage in retrospect. We should be deducted points and all the championships we won removed and given to our rivals.

The great corner I can remember was one played to the edge of the box where Colo was running in to meet it and sent a bullet header toward goal. It was a fabulous set piece, but, unfortunately, didn't result in a goal.  Can't remember who it was against or where it was.

I think it's as well to have an element of unpredictability with set plays. Opposing defences know that with every free kick inside their half of the field, we're going to launch it to the far post side of the penalty area and hope that one of our centre backs is going to nod it across. They can prepare for it.

Inside their half? Inside ours as well.
