Set Pieces (Free Kicks, Long Throws, Corners)

Still think it's long throws that are rocking the boat, nothing much evolving with corners [emoji38]

Apart from the "da's" crying when it doesnt beat the front man from a corner

Despite being a million things on football programmes now saying the reason for them aiming just behind that front man. Literally millimetres precision they're aiming for

 

Every pro footballer can float one into the box ffs

We hired our first ever set piece coach this Summer, so I hope to see an improvement in this department. Don't think we have seen any improvements so far.

 

Midtjylland in Denmark (where we poached him from) had the highest turnover from SP goals for vs. SP goals against in the Danish league for consecutive seasons. Would love if he could translate this statistic to the PL.

I put this in match thread but probably fits here better.

 

I miss the days of Robert & Solano. The way they hit them, 6/10 wouldn't beat the first man, but the ones they nailed would have the perfect pace, bend and dip somewhere between the 6-yard box and penalty spot that keepers and defences couldn't handle so it was worth it. 

 

Someone like Burn on paper should be good for 6 goals a season if you give him something to attack. Seems an absolute waste seeing him occupying the keeper like last night, or when we float stuff where he seems weak. Whip it with pace to him around the penalty spot and not a lot you can do to stop him, at the least he'd draw a few penalties.

With the physicality we've got, we really shouldn't need to be fucking about with short corners, "changing the angle", etc. Just whip it in to a good area with pace.

 

Fair enough mix it up every now and then, but it's infuriating seeing us fumble so many short corners.
