Why? We were useless when he was taking throw ins tooBring back Aron Gunnarsson!
Last year we had nobody who could throw the ball more than 10 yards and it looks the same this year. I had under 17's who could hit the six yard box 2 years ago. What's the issue?
50% of our goals this season have been direct free kicks.This has to be a coaching issue.
While we are at it - in these following dead-ball sole possession scenarios we tend to follow the same line as throw ins
Corners - we are generally crap
Kick-offs - we are worse than crap
Penalties & Free Kicks - the jury is out for now but I've a feeling we might be crap with these too!
Cute I like that!50% of our goals this season have been direct free kicks.
Now thats a problem!we are missing our own players when it comes to throw ins
It seems like decades to me - never in my (long) lifetime have we been anything other than crap at throw-ins.I feel like this has been a problem for years through different squads and managers? Similar to scoring from corners.

Perfect example on Saturday. Rochdale had a throw-in about level with their penalty area. No pressure on them whatsoever. Said to the lads ‘watch what happens if we have a throw in a similar position’. Sure enough Rochdale pressured and harassed and won possession. Robins talks about other teams being streetwise all the time but it’s time we started making things as hard for them as they do for us. Lot of talk about the ‘Cov Dog’ from the rugby team, especially after holding a big strong Jersey team when down to13 men. Would love to see a bit more dog in the City team for once, snarl a bit, get in their faces.
Am I the only one who thinks we have a throw in problem?
Our throw ins do not seem to give us any advantage at all - we seem to throw it to a player under pressure or simply throw it and instantly lose possession.
Just noticed that Liverpool have taken on a dedicated "throw in coach". This guy teaches 3 different styles of throw in - BBC Radio 5 live - Football Daily, MNC: Hopeless Hammers, throw-in coaches and Deeney for England?, Could throw-ins help Liverpool win a trophy?
1 . The Long Throw in
2 . The Fast Throw in
3 . The clever Throw in
Think this might be worth a look for us as we seem to specialize in the fourth style of throw-in below.
4 . The totally Crap Throw in!

Yeah something I've noticed for a while. Player A (Brandon Mason this year) throws it to Player B who tries to cushion it back to Play A, usually resulting in the ball going straight out for an opposition throw.
Another ridiculous thing is insisting on a particular player to take a free kick. A case in point on Saturday when Hyam was going to take a free kick. Burge ran 30 yards to take it instead and then passed to Hyam anyway who was about 3 yards away!
