The man on the corner of the six yard box is so important on corners as he makes the corridor the kicker has to go through so much tighter, hence so many hit the first man so often. Pundits and fans all bitch about it, but the margin of error for the kicker is very small and having the big man there makes it even tougher, even for the best. Also it obscures the view of anyone running into that area that Bakayoko and Merino scored from, making the header even tougher to execute. Yesterday the header was a fluke, but again a tall player was being marked by a smaller man, making the near post guy even more important because we lack tall players. Losing Benteke and Wickham has robbed us of that one extra tall guy needed to defend that area.

Speroni was impeded by PvA. A header from 6 yards gives you no time, it's through you before you know it. Not talking rubbish at all. Not the keepers fault, so whether you have a Hennessey agenda or a Jules agenda it wasn't a f***ing goalkeeping error. Jenas thought it was.

A six-yard box deflected header which came at Speroni at real pace.Yes it appears that it went straight through him hence some criticism but he might have been a tad distracted by the Palace player just next to him (Not sure who it was !).

It wasn't deflected - Jimmy Mac's header hit their keeper and then went straight to the goal. Speroni's great strength was his reaction saves - he seems to have lost some of that.

You would not be ready to admit that WH would have saved it would you? Admittedly mainly due to his length but still..... Originally posted by Brentmiester_General
