Atm we are ranked 18th in the league in terms of goals from set pieces, a whole 9 goals behind Liverpool on 16, ourselves on 7 with only Sunderland and Boro worse off than us on 5 goals a piece.
How are we so useless from set pieces? We have capable free kick takers in Mata, Ibra, Pogba, and Rooney judging by yesterday along with players with good to great technique such as Miki, Blind, etc. So how can we not, if not score from set pieces, at the very least be capable of delivering decent deliveries into the box. I mean, along with our CB's who like all CB's are at the very least capable from set pieces, we also have a 6'5 striker and 6'3 midfielder who I don't think I've seen come near being on the end of a set piece for the last 3 months. We even have games where we have an extra 6'4 midfielder thrown into the mix, like yesterday, yet we still looked as toothless as ever from set pieces into the box.
We've got guys like Rashford, Martial, Carrick, Darmian, all roughly 6'0, I don't expect them to tower over defenders but I'd hope they could at least look a bit dangerous considering all our opponents best aerial defenders are occupied with our CB's, Pogba, and Ibra. Teams like Atletico have won titles based around set pieces and I don't think the weapons they had in that side were that much better than what we have at our disposal, if better at all. Fuck, even that Mourinho's Chelsea side with Ivanovic, Terry and Cahill was incredible from set pieces, they had sooo many games decided due to how good they were from set pieces, so how is there such a big gap between that Mourinho side and this Mourinho side?
Sorry if this seems like a rant but I just can't understand why we are so shit at this side of our game, especially when set pieces are an invaluable asset to have against sides that "park the bus", sides we have clearly struggled against this year.
