RUHRLYASLEEVESUP Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) 7 hours ago, Yorkie said: I feel like the mistakes we're seeing is at least partially down to tiredness; probably even mentally more than physically. We just weren't seeing the goalie/defender making the recent errors earlier in the season; likewise the attackers weren't fluffing their lines like they are now. It's been a seriously intense season so far, with five of our first-teamers being at the World Cup as well. I bet it feels like an eternity since Forest for lots of the players. Succinct & imo correct, also places a huge emphasis on the squad depth for next season as seems likely we will be playing in one of the European comps which will stretch our squad even more, we've led a charmed life playing one game a week this season, something Klopp eluded to after the defeat at Anfield. Bigger & different challenges to come next season, challenges which the board must help us with. Edited February 19, 2023 by RUHRLYASLEEVESUP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 We need someone else taking set pieces as well. Trippier every single time is just fucking nuts at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Gotta be someone else who can take them surely. Get Targett back in and that’s at least another option. Even Bruno?? laughably bad at this point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 thought his set pieces apart from a couple were absolutely fine or good, even. Burn missed another really easy chance. Ultimately we have the highest xG from set pieces in the league iirc. Underperforming on that means our delivery is good overall and the lads attacking them should be putting more away. More generally I thought he was back to his best today after some sloppy performances since the WC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 He had a couple of dodgy ones, but we still should have scored one or two today from his set pieces. We are shite at attacking the ball - that is the biggest problem, not the delivery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never any worries. Yeah, some of those immediate control takes are incredible. The ball gets pinged, floated, drilled at him and it seems to make no difference. His dead balls are becoming annoying, but his all-round game is superb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 His indirect set pieces are fucking crap. Love the effort and commitment and he's absolutely captain material all day long - but not having a secondary option on free kicks and corners is hurting us every single game at the minute. Thanks for the graft today Tripps but please learn to not hit the keeper every sodding time when you're crossing from a dead ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His control and first touch are superb, and the vision for the pass forward are amazing. His near post and far post corners though, they never work. the training ground pieces with Miggy, they work most of the time, stick with them or have someone else take the corners Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Litteraly put a class ball in for Burn who hit the bar last week and annother for Burn in first half he missed. Both corners... Edited February 26, 2023 by Slim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Needs to be taken off set pieces permanently. He's shit at them. Can't even remember the last time he took a shot in a decent free kick position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I think we need more variation. See with Ritchie on and if we get targett back soon to switch them up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both corners... Aye. The way he whips them, you're gonna see a lot of them go straight to the keeper, particularly the in-swingers. There's at least one a game lately that is postage-stamped though, but Schar and obviously Burn in particular are terrible at attacking and directing the ball, they mistime their jump or close their eyes frequently. Indirect free kicks are a bit more of a problem, we don't know how to break a high defensive line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Not ridiculous like, he’s great at set pieces but in the last fifteen games or so he’s been really poor on them. It’s not just that we haven’t scored from them, we haven’t looked like scoring from them. Take a look at the delivery today for Man U’s first, haven’t seen a set piece effort from Trippier like that for ages. He just needs a bit of a rest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
