| Set Piece Coach AND a Set Piece Analyst 11:42 - Jul 27 with 1554 views | Illinoisblue | Overkill much? Couldn’t we just ask Aluko to come up with a couple of corner routines? How did clubs ever cope without these positions? And what does a set piece analyst do all day? Like how is that a full-time job? Yes I am an old man shouting at the sky. Carry on.

little concerning Oneil is known for shambolic set pieces too so i really hope we are paying out some big money for some top level coaches in this area |  |

correlation or causation? |  |

| Set Piece Coach AND a Set Piece Analyst on 12:17 - Jul 27 with 1141 views | Radlett_blue | In modern football, especially the Premier League, an increasing proportion of goals are now scored from set pieces so we would be dumb not to try to improve both our attacking & defending in such situations. Arsenal's title last season was based on their success from such situations - they scored 19 league goals from corners last season. There may not be much science about it; their success was based on precise, inswinging corners & structural blocking (i.e. cheating). |  |

It's also relative chump change. What's an extra ~£80k gross salary to a prem club? |  |

Set Piece Coach: Don’t worry about the ball lads, just grab whoever is nearest to you, and play an aggressive game of pat-a-cake until the referee tells you to stop. Then when the corner comes in, fall to the ground and scream. |  |

The best set piece teams won the Premier League and Championship last season. Arguably, set pieces were how both leagues were won, when you look at how few we scored. [Post edited 27 Jul 12:37]

Did Coventry and Arsenal play the game to achieve these set pieces by any chance? Covebtry fudnt seem to do so much in open play i thought. Thru gane just seemed to revolved around corners, free kicks and break aways |  |
