#BringbackTrippsImagine getting a free kick, one of our players taking it and it going in the goal(because they meant it).
Imagine how strange and surreal that'd be.
Here's a mind-bending thought: he's at Newcastle; we can't afford him.#BringbackTripps
It baffles me how not one of our attackers spends time on the training ground trying to perfect this. Is the technical ability that low. Anyone half decent could be getting a good 3/4 goals a season from the amount of free kicks we get in good positions.

Eriksen vs Norwich on 28th Dec 2019 I think.Me and mate at the ground today discussing this point and trying to remember the last time we scored from a direct free kick. Anyone got any idea? Must be a couple of years?
We tried it today early on. Son (I think) looked like he was shooting but passed it to Bentacur who was supposed to slip it in for Sess to get to the byline but they fluffed itWhat I don't understand is considering we have no one able to hit the target consistently, or at all from a direct free kick, why we havn't atleast tried alternative free kicks? If no one can hit the target from a dead ball why not be a bit more creative? 1 or 2 over the ball, laying it off for a better angled strike from a pass? Late run to the back post and a chipped ball in rather than a direct shot? Surely any of these is worth trying rather than Kane smashing it at the wall all the bloody time?
That was too far out if I remember rightly? Looked like he was gonna put it in the box rather than shoot? Might be wrong though.We tried it today early on.

Think it was a few years outside of the box but Son feigned to either shoot or cross directly (we will never know which ) but instead just cut it to the leftThat was too far out if I remember rightly? Looked like he was gonna put it in the box rather than shoot? Might be wrong though.
And what is this ‘team building’ you speak of?It’s just a basic part of team-building - make sure you have at least one player who’s dangerous at set pieces, preferably two, a lefty and a righty for corners and indirect freekicks at least .Okay, finding a Ward-Prowse or Trent is rare, but it’s been years since Eriksen left and we never addressed it.

He was shocking for us in the 2018/19 season and the majority of people on this site wanted rid of him.
The trouble is, we've managed to get even worse replacements
100% we miss so so many opportunities to score because of this.It baffles me how not one of our attackers spends time on the training ground trying to perfect this. Is the technical ability that low.
