Our set pieces in general have been very poorly conceived, set up and defended.I have to say also - there’s been a lot of talk of the blockers not working for the third goal - but there’s a limit to the amount of blocking you can do without it just being a penalty. He ran about 10 yards to get his head on the ball, you can’t block someone for ten yards.
my view is that Kilman went with the wrong man (Dunk is the danger for Brighton, not Webster), and we were very naive not to have anyone at all defending the back half of the goal.
I just thought we were really poorly set up for the goal.
I thought complete man marking or zonal marking was not used anymore but we seem to be going full zonal which is suicidal.
Bar his goal yesterday Saiss had a very poor game, he was at fault for 2 goals, both crosses and that is something he should be very good at. With our lack of height in the squad we can’t afford a key set piece player to have a duff game defensively.
