Record Weekend of Premier League goals...Good or Bad?
Must admit I'm a huge fan of high scoring games, its really good on the eye but is there as much bad as good of this? This past weekend there were many high scoring games and pretty exciting ones but did this record weekend highlight the quality of attack in the EPL or the lack of defense from various teams. In most games I watched or saw the highlights for there were many set piece goals as if they teams have forgotten how to defend them. Once again Arsenal struggled from them (poor referee I might add) Man United, Sunderland, Aston Villa...it is an alarming trend..

It simply a case of teams understanding the importance of set pieces. A team can literally be non existent for an entire 90 minutes and capitalise on set piece play. Rory Delap is absolute faeces... My God... he shud be in eredivisie, but his throws and A pennant or etherington set piece give Stoke the world of chances. Teams have basically established that set piece play is probably the best way to get something from a game. Teams getting 3 or more goals from set pieces or directly after.
