Didn’t we hire this guy with all sorts of innovative ideas for set pieces; corners, free kicks etc. I’m not seeing them.

Man United pinched our idea today from
Burnley away in the cup a few years ago. A George Dobson special.
We’ve not improved since.

We are better from dead ball situations than our time in the championship

Sorry if SEB but why didn’t Nordi take the log throws?

Why isn’t Le Fee on corners?

It isn’t easy to get any joy from set pieces against Arsenal. When you see their team in the flesh you realise what a set of giants they are. They’re also very skilful at the dark arts - not sure how they finished the game with less yellow cards than us when they ragged Brobbey all over all game as well as committed blatant fouls to prevent breakaways.

Get him sacked, along with the tea lady and the blokes who welcome the players in.

Funny time to raise this point against one of the best sides in the league at set pieces defending and attacking.
I do agree we could improve in this department though.

Aye, all leting the side down. Maybe let Reggie get his nephew or cousin in to do a recruitment role. Seems to have worked canny for Beheaddie

Nordi has a wrist injury. Although it was strapped up, he fell on it in the last game against Burnley and was in pain. I'm guessing it made it worse so he is having a rest.

Im not just talking about this game. We seemed to be very predictable in the way we go about set pieces. Where's the invention? Basically, it's Hume does absolutely everything (at least while Xhaka's off).

Defending set pieces is also a part of it.
How many goals have we conceded from set pieces this season?

Top 6 xG against in defending set pieces and joint 3rd in fewest goals conceded from same.
As above. Nordi's wrist has been bust for ages, taking the long throws is making it worse. He didn't take any against Burnley either iirc.
