At the same time, everything in football works this way. We did have the best set piece attack and defense (I believe) in the league for a long time. That’s not an accident. It’s also not an accident that teams have figured us out - they were always going to eventually. If we can rework things and improve, it’s nbd - but it’s come at the worst time, when we’re also dealing with an injury crisis.
Being good at set pieces doesn’t even really help us if we’re also vulnerable against them. And we’ve let in a lot of goals from them recently.
With defenders like Saliba yeah, we gotta do better. At least to have a clean sheet against relegation and lower mid table clubs.
