we lose possession from throw ins within seconds

This never ceases to amaze me. Yesterday, we had a throw-in and the camera cut away to some shot, wholly irrelevant to the play, for one second. When it went back to the game Newcastle were in possession. Unless my eyes deceived me later on, we had a throw-in that had to be retaken because it never went into play. The retaken throw was then, a scarcely believable, foul-throw.

We are the only team that seems to get penalised for this.

My games teacher at school would go mental at us for taking a foul throw.

Fucks me right off that professional footballers can’t take a throw in. But I am turning into Victor Meldrew as I get older.

Gvardiol needs a lesson in how to do a throw in because he has been pulled up by the referee a few times for foul throw as of some over of our players! It's weird we have pep an ultra professional but leaves all the set pieces corners throw in to other people who to be honest utter shite
 
Yeah think pep just leaves all that to our so called specialist set piece team who are absolutely shite! Thing is they've been that long we won't just sack them off we will just keep them with hardly any output from them as in goals from corners set pieces

Last league season "absolute shite" is absolute bollocks. We scored 3 fewer than Arsenal but conceded 4 fewer:

23/4 City 16 - 3 ( corners/set pieces)
23/4 Arsenal 19 -7 (corners/setpieces)

This season they are looking great on corners with 3 scored but 2 conceded on corners/set pieces. we are 1 for and 1 against.

Set piece team look after both attacking and defending

I think if anything we're a bit too reliant on set pieces, particularly without Odegaard. Our attackers aren't really firing yet.
