The stats show that despite being the best team in the division we are the worst in the division for allowing teams to have efforts on goal flowing from them. This tallies with what a lot of us see at matches. This is something that can be addressed without cost to our attacking game or expensive recruitment because it’s nothing to do with the formation etc and in my view little to do with the personnel.
Should Farke just not look at this as a potential area for improvement because “all goals are soft?” I would hope he doesn’t have the same attitude and am sure he doesn’t.
If we can reduce the number of goals scored against us from such situations by even 3 or 4 it could be important. We will always concede goals from set pieces. Sometimes they will be too good and yes sometimes players will make mistakes. But if you watch back our games this season you will see a consistent pattern.
