    I also think its an easy way to get goals, as pretty every match I watch I see openings on the back post or noone there for over hit passes

    The original theme for this post was solidity at the back. Whilst Hegazi and Ivanovic are not the quickest, they are good in the air and this is where we have looked most vulnerable at corners and set pieces. Personally, I would persist with this pairing as Ivanovic also adds a bit of nous to our defence. They do lack pace but as I say, a vulnerability to high balls has been our major problem.

    My late dad always banged on about this since I was a kid.

    My brother was a right winger and he always coached him to patrol the far side of the penalty area at corners and free kicks.

    Gera seemed to do that all the time, wistful memories .

    Yes he did mate......he was a master at it.

    I remember one he got in a 2-1 at Leicester when the great Craig Beattie curled in a 25 yarder in the last minute to win it.

    I don't know whether I'm being too simplistic but it seems like an obvious tactic to me.

    How many times in lockdown did Pereira either from a corner hit the back stick and Ayai stood there with his finger up his arse watching them sail by.
