Incredibly, they don't just say "badly".

If there's one single aspect of the Albion's game that is open to exponential improvement, that's it right there

Hardly surprising ! I heard that DeZ simply wasn't interested and spent very little time at all on them - which is in complete contrast to Fab (as stated in his press conference today)

I wonder if it should be our best pinpoint passers or crossers of the ball that should be shooting from free kicks. Baleba is playing some incredibly precise long ball passes in the air at times… I’m sure there are other examples of this and that some of our new midfielders are capable of taking realistic free kicks.

It doesn’t matter now, because our new solution is just don’t get corners

Whilst on the subject of set pieces, did I hear the commentator yesterday say us a Palace are the only two premier league teams to not concede a goal from a set piece this season ??
