[Jan]

At neither, saw both.

At both

He was toss

And again today

I have lost all confidence in out defensive abilty.

Nelson Can't come back quick enough

[Presty On Tour]

we seem to have a developed a new tactic of defending all balls into the box with our arms, hands, elbows, etc...

it look like it's working or going to plan :ph34r:

Put two men on the posts when defending from either corners or free kicks.

It ain't rocket science.

Brad did, then the dimmer one (Gray) just wandered off becuse there was a shiny bauble somewhere else (or some such similar excuse) which left Tugs to go to where he thought more danger was. Wrong!

Ps I was the one screaming "for F*CKS sake Gray, stand where you're ****** told, will you" at every corner!

Whatever you think of Gray's footballing ability, there is no doubt he would be stood on a post if that is what Hughes told him to do. You honestly think these kind of things are left to do decision of the player on the day of the game? They will have be rehearsed on the training pitch, it's Hughes opting not to have a player on both posts that is costing us, not one of your less-favoured players wandering off.

For the first Arsenal goal not marking Gilberto properly and letting him have a virtually free header was far more culpable than not having a guy on each post imo. With the benefit of the TV replays Bert sort of waved at him as he went up for the header.

If we'd had a guy on each post they would have headed it off the line.

Emerton has done this at least twice now this season. Stick him on the blinking post so that he can't do any more dissapearing acts at marking.

once they got that second corner i knew that goal was coming
