Fecking comical at this rate
or lack there of.
Shambolic.
Seriously what the feck do they do in training?
2.... And I think we are lucky that the rest of set pieces didn't cost us
Painfully bad.
Absolute fecking joke.
It’s massively alarming now.
Sinful. Embarrassing. Pathetic. Every single player and staff member should be ashamed
It’s embarrassing how bad we are at it. Clearly a weakness & it’s being exploited by opponents.
To be fair we probably look amazing in training as we are equally as useless in attacking set pieces.
Been an ongoing huge issue. A quarter of the goals we've conceded in the league have been from set pieces. That's horrible.
Why do all our players treat a set piece as if its some panic inducing nightmare? It's like they suddenly lose any composure
Shit Pogba is a shocking defender
One half of football and you’re trying to take some sort of weird higher ground, really pathetic.
If we go through an entire pre-season and come out this inept at set-pieces again next season then we really do have a problem with our coaches.
How many set piece goals have we conceded this season?
It’s a real problem. Change that fact and we would probably be winners this year.
Team full of giants who hardly ever score from them and are gash defending them.
I have just realised how good Maguire is
For all his flaws, Maguire's defensive aerial presence is vital for this team. We're a mess defending set piece. It's no longer just DDG lack of commanding of the box, our the players around the GK are just clueless.
How old are you?!?
Add 2 more to the list.
We have to fix it next season.

I knew this thread would be bumped.
It was a great cross to be honest

It's fecking mental, isn't it. Even when we don't concede, it's still fecking pandemonium.
Not enough coaching, or at least successful coaching. Someone is doing a terrible job coaching
17 set piece goals conceded this season in all competitions and not sure that includes ones like jota tonight.
Its not even funny. Somebody needs to be out of a job
Why this was created yesterday ? Very bad timing.
The corner we conceded from was unbelievably badly defended. From McTominay and Henderson, to the blocking of the shot, to not one player managing to block Phillips and to leave Jota alone. Shite all around.
The second goal was a great cross and should have been defended better by Pogba.

Overall play yes but we concede plenty with him too from set piecesI have just realised how good Maguire is
Fair point
The one biggest issue of this season. Whatever we end up doing this season will be in spite of this appalling record from defensive set pieces. We could sign Kane, Sancho and Haaland next season but if we don’t get this sorted, we’ll still be adrift from the top of the league. Do the feckin basics correct.
Reported.
And pisspoor defending. If you let a man run free at the far stick you blame yourselves before crediting their play for me.
Think I saw a stat that said a quarter of all goals we conceded are from set pieces? It's bad with Maguire, but without him.. ffs
Reminds me of Arsenal under Wenger in the last few years. Shambolic.
So true. Inept attacking set pieces vs Inept defending set pieces. Everything is fine in training.
20 open play goals, 4 pens, 2 own goals and 13 set peice goals. 14 if you wanna count the first goal
We should get a coach exclusively for this. Is clear whatever they're doing is not working.
You can say that again.
