That throw in yesterday was schoolboy stuff. Launch a ball at the big fellas head and hope for the best. Evans just stood back and waited for the ball. Cost us 2 points.

Firstly, we do have a good squad - barely a player on less than £50k a week, so i the poor ability argument is not true.
What we seem to have is poor awareness. It's the movement around the throwing or the 2nd ball if Tekkers gets a rare flick on that is poor.

Where is Zaha when Tekkers gets a flick on (either throw in or goal kick)? He is never anticipating so is not in the correct position.
Additionally, why has say a Sterling been shown where to run to in the box (back post) when attacking from the other flank but Zaha has rarely makes a similar move and hence scores a lot less.

Where is the midfield player coming short or even a quick throw in option?

I'm sure Roy and the players do video analysis of games. Well why do we never learn?

Throw in v Sheff Utd were poor too so it appears no one seems that bothered that only a few days before one led directly to a goal being conceded

I've thought our throw-ins have been poor for years.

That being said, I actually think they're slightly better this year. Mitchell actually seems to get it to our players.

The worst was Timothy Fosu-Mensa (sp?), who I don't think had 1 throw in where we kept the ball for more than 1 touch. PVA is typically pretty piss poor too, although I think he's improved a tiny bit this year.

I also think we've had more throw-ins this year where the winger or Zaha picked it up quickly and put it back in play. These seem to have the highest % of us keeping possession.

On a funny note, I remember Tottenham's game vs us where Serge Aurier had 3 foul throw-ins. Still makes me laugh
