Our Set pieces

[terryefc]

Rubbish aren't they?
Throw ins- So slow and ponderous. No movement whatsoever. From anyone. Generally give it away or it bounces out for their throw in.
Corners - General inswingers that float across their 6 yard box - that either their goalie catches of catches it after Tarky has headed it back. Linstrom doesn't even have the strength to reach the front post.
Free kicks - Go on Dwight - have a shot. Doesn't matter where it goes. No other plan. Just too slow again.

And why in the name of god do we have everyone back in our box when we are defending corners?
It means they have all their team camped in or on the edge of our box.
Just sticking one lad like Ndaiye on the half way line means 2 of theirs have to defend him. Madness. Simple numbers. He may even win one of Pickfords passes if done quick enough.

Grrrrrrr. Sort it ou Everton. You're paying enough coaches.

The understatement of the century, mate. More like:

I stand to be corrected, but I think the last person who scored directly from a FK was Digne?

My god! I have laid some cable over the years, but that is a work of art! Imagine being able to do one of those in your ma in laws bog

I'm fairly sure we are one of the last few in the league to not have a dedicated set piece coach.

We havent had a player who can take a decet throw in for 10+ years .
Nevilles were OK and Distin had a half decent throw. I cant think of anyone else

It's unreal how many throw ins we get 20 yards from the opposition box where it ends up at Pickfords feet about 15 seconds later.

99% of our throw ins are played backwards.

 

[KaiserEFC]

This has been an issue for about 20 years tbf

 

[The binman chronicles]

Worst throw ins in the league for about 25 years now. If an opposition player is within 5 yards of the throw in you know it will end up with them in about 8 seconds time.

We looked dangerous with our free kicks as soon as Dyche took over, somehow he's managed to coach them over the two year period to be worse at it than the 5 days he had before we played Arsenal.

Don't get me started on everyone back for corners, absolute garbage tactics and it's panic stations every ball that is played in. Somehow we have gotten lucky that we haven't conceded a ton of goals, it's not by any skill that's for sure. I'll have the biggest smile the day when he is not here and we have a couple of players up field for their corner. We'll probably let a goal in now for the very first one, but it's still bloody worth it.

Launch it to a big man, hope something flukey happens.

Well when the coaching team consists of Dyche, Woan and Stone you're not going to get much in terms of creativity and experimentalism. The team did try a short corner against Brentford, but it ended up quite embarrassing as they weren't even able to get a cross in. McNeil can put a good ball in, but it's all too predictable and, as has been mentioned, the goalkeeper plucks it out of the air 9 times out of 10. There is no imagination on free kicks, and clearly nobody that is capable of testing the goalkeeper directly. It's just all typical of the manager, dull and something you'd see on a Sunday league pitch.

Exactly this.

Like everything else with Dyche. A man of single answers to any given question.

No ability to adapt, no ability to improve.

And a few programmes like motd highlighted it. Dyches masterplan from the weeks training ground exposed by a couple of pundits lol
