I’m not trying to be pedantic, but a ‘spot-kick’ usually means a penalty. Which we’ve scored a fair few of.

Don't get me started.

I can cite a bunch of English Language Dictionaries or I can simply rephrase and use “set pieces” instead, so I opt to rephrase. lol

Nonetheless, for the record, ‘spot kicks’ are not confined to PKs

It simply refers to free-kicks awarded from the spot of infringement, and (other than PKs) we haven’t scored from those or corner kicks all season.


Spot on!

My old Sunday league team managed to play every week, all that was needed was a tub of Tiger Balm and Vaseline, all of this modern day chirochamber bollocks is all kack.... get a tinny down their neck before the game and crack on. Christ I miss the 90’s. 

I'm not sure this is the most professional approach but we are fairly desperate so it's worth a try  😉

Joking aside, I hope we take it more seriously than Zorya and put out a strong(er) side. We need to win the group.

 

More game time for Wilf, Ricardo, Cags and Timmy Chestnuts if possible.

 

Win it.

Not sure you can say put out a strong side then then say bring 4 people back from long term injury all at the same time.

Exactly as it’s taken from the spot. Corners are taken from a slice shaped area near the corner flag which is apt for the deliveries we attempt. So for clarity moving forward we have a spot kick ( penalty ) or a slice ( corner )

Given the vardy goal celebration and our skillz at corners.. they should be known as corner pieces

I’d have thought “set piece” would be a better term.

..not sure about that!!!

 It sound's logical but..

Spot kicks have always been referred as a penalty, any restarts taken on the field are free kicks whether direct or indirect. 

 Infringement in the 18 yard area are either direct or indirect. Fouls considered to warranty a "penalty kick", or "spot kick" if you like, are deemed to be direct, any other Infringement (within the area) would be deemed indirect and would result in an "indirect free kick".

  Although all Infringements are the referees prerogative to penalise a misdemeanor, no on -field fouls outside the box are referred to as spot kicks.

Looking for Perez to kick on and play himself into some form in this one. Maybe as a central striker or false 9 with Under and Barnes either side.

 

I'd like to see Praet start so he can hopefully get a bit of form back too. Hopefully Rodgers will give Ndidi another 70 minutes as well.

You've got the wrong thread, this is the spot kick / set piece terminology thread

I know he's not in the squad but ....

 

Can I be the first to say we should play Gray on this week's thread or has somebody already beaten me to it?

Staying strong but resting Fuchs/Evans has got to be a priority

Even JJ could probably do with a breather!

I'd personally go

 

                         Kasps

               Fofana Ndidi U21CB

    Ricky                                 Thomas

                       Mendy

        Maddison  Youri  Barnes

                       Vardy

 

With the idea of bringing Youri/Vardy off ASAP once it's comfortable

Strong team but equally rotation is needed. Would like to see ndidi strong 60/70. Then Perez in more advanced central role providing nacho support and 2 wide man providing the width and pace.

 

                    DW/KS

justin  Fofana Evans  Thomas

                  Ndidi

Under   Praet  Perez Barnes
