Megson Upset With Defending

Last updated : 28 August 2004 By Mad Reporter
"We just can't defend set pieces. We have a soft underbelly," the Baggies boss admitted after the disappointing 2-1 defeat at Goodison Park.

"We have tried to make ourselves more creative, but you cannot throw away all your strength and organisation to do it.

"Our team is just not capable of stopping set pieces. We can't just try to play pretty passes.

"Every team in this division is outstanding at set pieces and if we do not handle the long ball thrown into our box, and it will keep on happening, then we might as well pack it in now."
