Set pieces are a bit of a crapshoot
You chuck a ball into a crowded area with a bunch of jostling and pulling players and there's a whole ton of luck involved (the reason crap teams can often be as successful at them as better teams who presumably have better deliverers of a dead ball). Trouble is if you are dependent on something as much of a crapshoot as that, as we have been in the Prem, you are at huge risk if the ball stops dropping your way.
