Do you think we'll ever score a freekick again?
Do you think we'll ever score a freekick again?
4 years and counting... Wonder if any other PL club is waiting that long?

Remember the good old days of Baines popping 2 in at West Ham on both sides.

i hate getting freekicks tbh. We wont score from them so its pointless. We should try to be cheeky and do wierd and wonderful things when we get them near the box.

We can't even take decent throw ins, there's not a chance we're going to figure out free kicks.

Re: Do you think we'll ever score a freekick again?
Surprises me how few strikers are good at freekicks.
I suppose most of our set pieces are treated as opportunities to get the ball onto someone’s head rather than a direct shot. For the way we play though having a more capable player for free kicks, etc would lIkely be extremely beneficial.

A great question, but depressing when you think about it.

Definitely think there's room for us to be creative, and have a few little blag routines that don't involve smashing it 20 yards over the bar or standing it up to Tarks at the far post.

The first goal against Southampton here is the last time I remember us doing something decent/creative with a free kick.

McNeil has really sound technique, so there’s no reason why he couldn’t score one. Eventually.
And I bet Pickford could Chanel his inner Chilavert and bury one.
