There is one change in the team I think we all need to take a second to appreciate

Last year Noble and Downing took most of our Freekicks and corners. From what we have seen in this pre-season it looks like Cresswell and Payet will be on Freekick and corner duty this season. Cresswell took three free kicks last year ( that I can remember) and he scored one, hit the post with another and the other was stopped by a great save and the lad can also put in a fantastic cross, he should have been on Freekick duty last year but Allardyce seemed to think differently. Payet has already scored a Freekick and had a couple assists ( only one official assist I know but still) so having Cresswell take the free kicks/corners suited to a left foot and Payet take the freekicks/corners suited to a right foot should be a big improvement to our set pieces
