A patchy performance with some good passages of play , in particular in the latter stages where we probably could have scored a winner. Edouard took his goal well, but shows no signs of being the answer to our central striker needs. There are too many shortcomings in his game which the very occasional goal cannot mask. Hughes continues to impress, but the downside of the absence of Schlupp and Zaha yesterday seemed to be the compromising of Eze’s position with him often drifting to the left resulting in fewer opportunities to link up with Olise. When Eze did move closer to Olise in the last few minutes he created a gild edged chance for Olise which Olise curled wide of the post. I just wish sometimes that Olise would concentrate on hitting the target instead of looking for the perfect curling shot nestling inside the far post. One final point - we need to retain Guehi. The partnership with Anderson is excellent and gives us a platform to play. Richards has looked decent as a deputy but is injury prone and it would seem foolhardy to disrupt the Anderson / Guehi partnership which has served us so well. The only slight weakness I can detect is the occasional lapse on defending set pieces , but this a team responsibility and should be area than be worked upon.

Originally posted by aashman12 With our lack of marking it matters little where he took it from. I agree with all that - poor defending against the free kick. I asked the question because I hoped to learn what the rules might be. I am pretty sure I have seen refs insist corner kicks be re-taken if the ball was deemed to be in the wrong place; can the ref do that for free kicks in relation to the marks the ref has made?

The ref actually put the mark in the wrong place, if you watched. It was taken from where the foul occurred.

We had deployed zonal marking and nobody in the zone where he made contact with the ball made any effort to head the ball clear. Statuesque.

There’s no doubt we look more vulnerable at set pieces than when we had Dann, Delaney, Tomkins, Cahill and Benteke who were all physical players adept at competing in the air. However, the players we have now do compensate in other areas so one can’t be too greedy. It’s still an area that needs improvement though You don’t want to dominate games and lose points on set pieces.

That was pretty awful defending, back to basics I think. Our GD -9 is quite good actually.
