We've conceded 3 from set pieces. 1 less than Chelsea, 1 more than City (and Newcastle). :thup:


An earlier post from @HaydnNUFC:

 

This from the Sky Sports prediction bloke, wasn't aware of this. Been reading all about our pressing the last week. 

 

"One area they will be confident of finding joy from will be from set-pieces. No team has posted more shots (55, 14 more than any other team) and created a higher expected goals figure (5.01) from set-pieces this season than Newcastle. Meanwhile, Man Utd have conceded the third most shots from set-piece situations this season and looked all at sea in the closing stages at Goodison Park last weekend when Everton went direct."

Fuck’s sake, these niggling injuries this season are starting to become more of an issue as we’re not getting a run of games with the same 11 / same type of 11

Not really an issue tomorrow though, he hasn’t been starting for weeks anyways. Bruno and Wilson are the 2 most important players currently in an attacking sense.

Bigger blow than it might otherwise have been because I don’t think Dalot is up to much, would have fancied ASM. Murphy it is, got to hope he keeps it up. Would have been nice having Isak to have a go there. We’ve really got no luck with injuries this year.

He wouldn’t have started anyway. Murphy has done well in fairness, so wouldn’t be dropped. Not the same level of threat but we are more disciplined.

 

Could even see Big Joe push forward that side, he tends to pick crosses/passes well in forward positions. Or could be a well open game for Elliott Anderson to make his presence known.

 

Bit concerning for Maxi though if true.. he’s pretty much been eased back.

Big Joe going left wing is a shout mind. Wouldn't rule out Howe doing that.


I wonder if you could switch Big Joe and Little Joe around positionally - play Big Joe LCM and Little Joe LW
