Set Pieces

[Matt_B]

I agree that we are rubbish at delivering set pieces; however, there is a general feeling that we are terrible at defending them as well. I can't remember too many goals that we've conceded from them, can anyone knock up a list? There were comments about how West Ham were going to undo us with them but they never managed it. The only ones I can remember were Palace and was one of the QPR goals from a corner? I'm not counting Burnley's as that's not poor defending it's either a great free kick or poor goalkeeping depending on your stance.

7 by my reckoning.

It gets a bit silly when you look at crossed balls though. Like really bad!

Which ones out of interest?

Villa - Clark
Liverpool - Lallana - failure to clear
QPR - Austin
Newcastle - from our own corner
Palace - x2
Everton - McGeady - failure to clear

18 conceded from crosses - easy to identify a problem...full backs, stop the cross...stop the goal.
