    Do you all think we do good enough from set-pieces?
    You can practice all you like but if don't know who's going to be playing to either take the free kick ,corners or who's going to be attacking the corner.It’s a bit of a lottery.

    Talking of set pieces, Trent is due a screamer from one, not happened for a while.
    If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

    Indeed, I don't think we've been great on the whole at em

    Trent still off the pace
    Defending
    Passing
    Shooting
    Fitness the key.

    This is a prime example of no preseason preparation.
    And trying to play catch up with that.
    The consequences, other injuries.

    There's never been much in the way of goals from our midfield as it has long been set up to provide the platform for both full backs to play higher, one of the reasons i've continually banged on about Robbo and Trent having to weight in with a few, more Robbo, the last 2 seasons he'd had numerous very good chances between RB and RCB, he needs to start drilling a few in

    Too often he's tried to find a player through an impossible gap, when the most likely route to scoring is for him to drill it low and hard across their keeper into the bottom corner,, he scores or any save from the keeper is more likely to result in one of our forwards he can't otherwise find smashing home the rebound

    Spurs would be a great starting point, Lloris has a considerable obvious weakness at saving low shots driven across him
