This is the key point. We have conceded only one goal from a set-piece all season, but bucketfuls from the flanks. Sampson did absolutely nothing to help Molyneux, who was up against a very good player in Potter. Agree with Smudgie's assertion that a Liddle/Molyneux combo on the left is our best bet to tighten up. When we're away from home and under the cosh, our 4-2-3-1 has to become 4-4-1-1, with the two wide men working to drop back and close down. That kind of industry just wasn't evident yesterday.
