We need a free-kick specialist


Recommended Posts

Does anyone else think that we need a player who scores a decent amount of free-kicks for us?Whenever we get a free-kick on the edge of the box,i'm just not confident that we'll even make the keeper work.Who do we have?Gerrard,Riise,Alonso.None of these players are prolific.Juninho at Lyon has scored 48 goals in 4 seasons,19 of them free-kicks.I just think it's something that can make the difference in a tight game.I'm not suggesting we buy someone purely on set-piece abbility,but it would be a good weapon to have.

We dont do to bad from free kicks, probably better than most infact. Alonso against Fulham, Hamann and Riise against Leverkusen, Gerrard against Pompey, West Brom and the bitters

at the beginning of the season we seemed to be producing some variety in set pieces. Weve got the players just need to keep practising on the training ground. Garcia's corner comes to mind.

 

Does anyone know a real stato site, pass completion, etc

Cisse against Norwich as well.. That`s quite a good return from free kicks i think.

We have scored a proper amunt from free kicks.

A little flich and a shot has served us well.

But i think we need to be more concentrated when we take them and not messing around so fucking much, take the game against Boro as an example, in the 92'nd minute we were handed a free kick just outside the area a little wide to the left.

Instead of going for goal we fuckin wasted it with some piss poor effort.

We hgave done that way too often this season i think.

Variety is good, but not pissing away chances on set pieces like we have done alot this season.

Suppose we don't do too badly with free-kicks.I still think it would be great if we had someone who when we got a free-kick just outside the box we could be expecting something from it.I know we've been linked with Ryan Taylor of Tranmere who scores quite a few set-piece goals.I haven't seen much of him though and don't know if he is better than Raven.

Taylor lacks mobility.
