Literally millimetres precision they're aiming for Every pro footballer can float one into the box ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted September 19, 2025 Share Posted September 19, 2025 Well, we seem to be getting worse rather than better at these this season... Hopefully it's just teething trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosstef Posted September 19, 2025 Share Posted September 19, 2025 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 19, 2025 Share Posted September 19, 2025 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted September 19, 2025 Share Posted September 19, 2025 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 19, 2025 Share Posted September 19, 2025 From memory - Arsenal seem to have a few routines that they do and they challenge you to stop it. Ours seems tailored to the opposition a lot of the time to no avail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted September 19, 2025 Share Posted September 19, 2025 The most infuriating thing is how often Trippier takes them. I love him to bits but his corners and free kicks are useless, especially when Tonali and Elanga have shown that they're better at them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
