Everton Review - A Set Piece Again (Olé, Olé)

This weekend, another heartbreaking game for Marco Rose's first game at a new look, Dean Court, as we took on Everton and yeah it was just so tough to take isn't it all these avoidable mistakes that we've made in the first two games you'd like to think that we could easily have had six points definitely at the minimum we should have four and we're sat here with one how do we feel about it?

Your side said it all there.

I mean, it's just a disappointing weekend.

You know, you see four added minutes and you think, oh, we've got this sorted.

But all of a sudden, and then you even see the Hayden Hackney's whiffed corner where it's flying in the air.

And then you go, oh, Tav's got this.

He's jumping.

Then you see Christy all of a sudden jump.

All of a sudden Tarkovsky smashing it in the net.

It was just, yeah, disappointing.

Again, self-inflicted, which is really annoying.

If you lose a game where the other team's been better than you.

then you can understand it, but it's self-inflicted again.

I was seeing the stats.

We created six big chances to their three, and it ends 1-0.

Yeah, it's disappointing, and I'm sure Marco is more disappointed than I am.

I posted a photo on Instagram of Tav and Christy challenging themselves for that corner, and if you look at James Tarkovsky you can see that in his mind that corner is dead and buried from a Bournemouth perspective we really could not have asked for a better corner to be delivered it was awful and considering we still weren't looking particularly strong in terms of set pieces obviously Georgi Petrovic made an amazing save from Brantway I think it was early on in the first half Zonal marking still doesn't look to be the answer yet.

It's still something that we're persisting with.

But I'm not sure if zonal marking was the trouble there because Tav and Christy were man-marking each other.

It was such a poor breakdown in communication.

Again, this is Premier League football and we're making mistakes that you wouldn't expect to see on a Sunday league pitch down on Kings Park.

You know, just a couple of stones thrown away.

If that happened there, you'd still be questioning it.

So it's so disappointing and, yeah, shooting ourselves in the foot when we should be getting these three points.

But it should have been out of Sajak, let's be honest.
