Offensive freekicks outside the box

[Olallana]

have we got any of those so far during the nine games??

 

I´m sure we have but I can barely remember it actually, can it be 2-3 so far?

 

I think we need to play a bit more on Rickies and Jays feets in the central area of the field to get those and when we get Ramirez back that would be one of our largest threats. It would be now too with Rickie on the field.

 

Right now much of our games is to go wide and then put crosses into the area and that will never give us freekick oppurtinites that we can take advantage of.

If we mix our game a bit and play throughballs on the ground we can definitely get great scoring oppurtinites this way.

Got 2 against West Ham, Rodriguez took the first that was troubling the cars driving past the ground, Rickie took the second after shouting down Guly and grazed the wrong side of the bar.

 

The others generally have been loft it into the back post area.

Can't remember the last time we scored direct from a free kick I seem to remember (though I could be wrong) Lambert scoring a few his first season with us.

Most of our free kicks this season have been pretty offensive.

quite a lot, against League 1 defences and keepers, don't think he scored any at all in the NPC last season either, maybe one deflected if any. His free kicks look dangerous but they're pretty predictable without much movement in the air.

We used to do creative free kicks in the first season under NA IIRC. Now we just seem to aim at RL all the time, or shoot and miss.
