[Albion] Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[brightn'ove]

it was a quality delivery but... f#$k me ATTACK the ball.

So hard to defend a delivery like that, you can’t get the jump on the attacking team as it’s too close in to the goal. You’d have to start very deep.

 

[El Turi]

6 of the 8 goals we’ve conceded this season have been from set pieces. We will never progress until we learn to defend them properly.

 

[A1X]

A terrible half from us, bar a gift wrapped goal which has kept us in this. We really need to do something about our set pieces at both ends, these shouldn't be this hard to get right

 

[hart's shirt]

Exactly how many centrebacks who can't get off the ground and/or lose their players can we afford to play?

 

[The Wizard]

We lost it when Duffy left.

Total bollocks, he barely played last season and Duffy and Dunk didn’t look like rabbits in the headlights when defending set pieces.

You could just see that coming, when you watch the replay it’s even more criminal, there no marking on 3 separate runs. Very poor.

 

[mwrpoole]

When you know you can’t defend them don’t give away a cheap free kick, just frigging stupid.

 

[BLOCK F]

When we gave away that free kick who thought 'that'll be a goal then' ?

Me and plenty of others, I reckon.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Its obvious we get a freekick we pass it sideways, they get a freekick they score (they being everyone against us). Because of what we do upfront we never get to practice a ball in the box. ****ing sort Potter it's embarrassing. Goalkeeper has take the lead and dominate his area, no chance with Ryan

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

We lost it when Duffy left.

and Burn stopped getting a gig.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Stupid free kick given away by March and pathetic defending for the ball in.

 

[Don Quixote]

Centre backs should be able to head the ball

 

[Jeremiah]

For how many years have you seen us battle back into a game , even if it is a gift, and then give them an opportunity to score. Why make that tackle March ?

Defending is woeful

 

[Farehamseagull]

4 seasons, 2 different managers and we still can’t defend set pieces in the premier league, so frustrating.

We all knew what was coming as soon as that wanker blew for the free kick.

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

Everton play a bizarre extremely deep line on set pieces yet we don’t play it in?

weve obviously not practiced that one so if not practiced we dont even try to see what might happen

 

[Ding Dong !]

Defending this season has been nothing short of embarrassing.

Worse than that to be honest. Shit at set pieces at the back AND up front !!

 

[theboybilly]

I’ve never seen a premier league team so bad at defending set pieces.

I'm sorry, and I've really tried to defend you Maty, but you are not a PL 'keeper.

 

[fleet]

6 of the 8 goals we’ve conceded this season have been from set pieces. We will never progress until we learn to defend them properly.

This is so important - we look so lost at set pieces (both ends of the pitch). Need to defend better, CBs have to attack the ball better. It’s very easy just now.

 

[Reddleman]

The thing as well is March didn’t need to jump into that tackle. Just show him down the line or make the player go backwards and see the game out to half time. There was just no need to make that tackle.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Is playing 3 at the back causing some confusion in marking?

Looks like we are zonal marking, terrible !

Goals against column could be embarrassing this year
