Set Piece Coach AND a Set Piece Analyst 11:42 - Jul 27 with 1554 viewsIllinoisblue

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?

I am inclined to agree with you but then you see how good some of these teams are that seem to have these "premium" set piece coaches and it makes you think we probably need someone good in these positons.

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).

Always wary of those who move jobs every year. Quite often they get out before people discover they aren’t actually that good at their job.

Are these the people who told everyone to wrestle at any corner?

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.

You can have the best set piece coach in the world, but if your players aren't up executing the set piece...or defending them, it surely renders it ineffective?

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.

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
