NYCFC Has Not Conceded 23 Set Piece Goals

June 16, 2016 by Mark Leave a Comment

  1. I Think The 23 Set piece Goals in 26 Home Games Stat Is Very Wrong

    HRB has this stat and doesn’t provide a source, and but the RSL announcers mentioned the 23 set-piece concessions at home stat (without adding how many games) during the condensed match. They said it right after the Burrito goal off a free kick. So they are probably the original source for this.
    I went back and reviewed the summary and sometimes highlights of every game.
    I count 12 set-pieces conceded last year, with 6 at home. This counts the SKC throw-in as a set-piece.
    I count 8 this year, all at home. That adds up to 20 total, and 14 at home. If you want to be strict and exclude the throw-in it is 19 and 13.
    It’s possible I missed one, or maybe even 2-3, but there’s no way I missed 9 home set-piece concessions. Plus I think I’m right.
    We have in fact played 26 home games, so the stat has that going for it.
    Here they are with the game number, date, H/A, Type, scorer, and minute
    2015
    1 3/8/2015 Orlando Away Free Kick kaka 91
    4 3/28/2015 SKC Home throw-in Opara 13
    11 5/15/2015 Chicago Home free kick Cocis header 14
    13 5/30/2015 Houston Home corner kick Bruin header 16
    14 6/6/2015 Philadelphia Away corner kick Sapong 46
    17 6/28/2015 NJRB Home free kick Duvall 52
    Home free kick Miazga 73
    26 8/23/2015 Galaxy Away free kick (quick kick) Zardes 36
    28 9/12/2015 Dallas Away corner kick Michel 45+
    31 9/26/2015 Vancouver Away corner kick Amarikwa 72
    32 10/2/2015 DC Away free kick Saborio 90+
    34 10/25/2015 New England Home corner kick Rowe 55
    2016
    2 3/13/2016 Toronto Home free kick Perquis 45+
    4 3/26/2016 New England Home free kick Tierney 38
    8 4/27/2016 Montreal Home free kick Oduro 90
    13 5/21/2016 NJRB Home corner McCarty 3
    Home corner McCarty 51
    Home free kick Veron 83
    Home corner Baah 89
    15 6/2/2016 RSL Home free kick Burrito 67

    That’s still terrible but I guess qualifies as slightly positive news. I also note that both times we conceded more than once in a game has been to our favorite local energy drink team.
    Also, 6 of them were at 45 to 45+ or 90 to 90+. That’s killer.

    UPDATE: It probably is people counting PKs to make up the difference, but if so that’s a case of letting definitions confuse things. Nobody cares how well a team “defends” penalty kicks. Nobody defends penalty kicks well, and it’s a fundamentally different animal than corners and free kicks, even though they all start with a dead ball.
