Firmino punishes Spurs' inability to defend set pieces once again.
 
Spurs fans say we’re shit and Liverpool are brilliant then rage because we lose away to Liverpool in new shocker!!!
Actually we were better than them. We lost while being better. A close game that could have gone either way.

Unfortunately, a familar pattern of conceding late set pieces continues. Just like Palace, West Ham, and Newcastle.
 
Caught out or cheated. You decide
Cheated 100% but it's still exploitation of a weakness in this team. Giving away dangerous free kicks and then failing to win the headers.

Only 4 of 12 goals conceded (five less than the next best) fit your theory though.

That’s with the cheat penalty that we would have cleared easily if we wasn’t robbed.

You may not recall, but the FK in question was absolute bullshit too..... Their chap literally threw himself at PEH.

Have you ever actually conceded on any discussion you've had with people on here?

Yes, it's a fucking issue for us. Whether it's corners, free kicks or crosses from open play, we face about a thousand of them a game, and eventually we end up conceding a late goal as a result. We have the best defence in the league but doesn't mean our one weakness isn't getting exploited.

We've only conceded like 3/4 goals that weren't crosses into the box or penalties.

Irrelevant and not football related

Have you got the stats for the rest of the Premier League and how many each team has conceded in the last 10 minutes and how many was from a set piece?

Or is it just conceding 4 goals in 13 games this way means we have a major weakness that teams are exploiting at will?

The other 8 goals we let in, have you some information on how they came about and at what period of the match?
Have you explored any reoccurring patterns in those goals which could suggest our weakness is actually somewhere else?

Or are you taking the easy route and using a 15 year old stick to beat us with?
