yeah. Heh, Drogba and Giroud can prob be considered set piece masters. remember the complaints of the opposition when they used to play against Drogba's Chelsea: we overplay them for the entire match then Drogba goes and scores out of nothing. 😆

Arguably our best half of the season. Controlled and aggressive. Not flustered. However, these things don’t give me confidence because the lack of organization means we’ll get pegged back by a very preventable goal. For example: we conceded a goal just a few games ago, I think Arsenal, when there was a corner and we had our one player marking two players, they were able to fashion a shot and goal. In this game, did we learn our lesson? No. Just that Tottenham we’re not able to fashion

Fair point. Having a physical presence upfront (Drogba, Costa, Giroud, etc) really helped out at the other end too.By LAM09

Could be numbers too as we have pretty ineffective players at set pieces, like the aforementioned Mudryk. So, it's easier for the opposition to get a unfair duel going by sheer numbers.

same -- good half. Concern is towards the end with our thin bench. If some of our players look visibly gassed, I bet they will try to exploit that with fresh legs.

Are players following instructions? Are there any instructions to begin with? The list goes on. It's just common sense for the tallest players to mark the biggest threats.

Massive 2cm height difference lol Still, clearly someone else should have marked him decent half. Liked the intensity. The pace on our front 3 is insane. Spurs playing right into our hands. I just wish we had a proper counter attacking coach. Once those attackers grow some brain we would be a huge threat on the break like we were under conteBy Magic Lamps

This is not even about zonal marking or any fancy initiative. This is simple man on man marking. And you put a young small guy on a big attacking defender. And it was not a mistake as Gilcrest was picking him up again in the next set piece.
