For me, the main coaching criticism to levy is that the corners and free-kicks have been very poor quality this season. Is that solely down to Poyet, or Tanno (or both)? Whoever, it needs sorting fast. A side like us facing a tough season post-promotion, with the style we have (tippy-tappy, inviting rash challenges from frustrated players, slow build-up, etc) needs to make the absolute most of dead-ball opportunities every time we win them.
Gus seemed to suggest he recognised one such problem (taking penalties) from last season - but then look at Millwall away this season. Hardly a broad sample I know, but the technique in that instance was abysmal.
IMHO Gus needs to find a way for our corners and free-kicks to trouble the opposition a lot more.
