plus points he tried a different formation ,players played with a bit of effort .
bad points , scored against from a set piece again that's something like a goal in in two thirds of the games he has been in charge of teams in the prem, managed just under 50 , conceded thirty odd.
I don't know if it's just me but surely its easier to win a header when your running onto a ball in, than when its coming across you like are defenders are facing, with this system. time and time again a player is running from behind are static defender , who even if they manage it jump, has the momentum of the player attacking against them, before they make a move. and normally its to late.
Another bad point is why does he continue to pick Walcott, don't like to single out a player . but his defending is none existent, fed up seeing him run into space where there is a player not making space and dragging the full back wide, he crosses like an 11 year old with about a 1 in three success rate, infuriating player because you can see flashes of real quality every now and again , and in fairness we don't play the ball into him fast enough at times when he makes a run, saying all that when was is last good game so why is he getting picked?
Defending set pieces isn’t just about the 2 CBs. Keane and Zouma are both decent in the air individually. The whole team need to contribute to defending set pieces though and for some reason Silva can’t get them organised, he’s clearly had similar issues before. It’s a problem that should be easily solved. We need a new defensive coach to work with them on it in my opinion.Has it also not occurred to you that these players are the ones making those same mistakes?
Mina went off at ht v Millwall. Since then we've had the same CB pairing. Since then we've conceded pretty much two identical goals, as you rightly point out.
Look at the players that have been involved in most of our set-piece failures this season. Then tell me which two CBs we currently have fit.
I am not saying do not blame Silva - he deserves his part of the blame, fair and square. But these players simply keep making the same mistakes and Silva can have about as much impact in that individual moment on a player's decision as we can.
They can prepare all they like. They clearly do. It isn't being forgotten about or disregarded. Silva's supposedly had them in each day for double sessions to get the set-piece thing drilled in.
He just doesn't know how to coach defending. All his teams in the past are the same.What, and call the players out even more?
Mate, he gets slated when he talks about them, and slated when he doesn't. Can't win.
There's nothing more that he can say. He's said that they've tried man marking. He's said that they've worked on it in training. He's said that it sometimes comes down to the players needing to be more aggressive. All of which is true. What more is there to say?
far from it.Good old Marco refusing to talk about set pieces in his post-game interview. Weak individual.
It did, then I looked at his record at Hull and Watford, where he had worryingly similar poor stats. Hardly a coincidence, is it?Has it also not occurred to you that these players are the ones making those same mistakes?

So we played crap then???
Better tonight. The set piece is annoying but a lot better in terms of team structure and at least having a go until the Icelandic flop came on.
Yes, Silva shows them YouTube videosDo we practice set pieces?
