useless Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 He's probably kept his job for the simple fact that Emery doesn't have a 'set-piece coach' that's part of his usual team to bring in as a replacement, whereas for the other coaching roles he will have people to bring in, hence likes of Cutler and Danks leaving, but MacPhee staying for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t checked this seasons. But last time I looked our numbers from set pieces were worse off since he arrived. First season he was here we had lots of fancy routines etc but I feel like that’s dried out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Over the last week we've had good news and are at the beginning of an exciting new phase at the club. Yet some people seem almost desperate to be angry about something, anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Controversial opinion: perhaps experienced managers like Emery value the contributions of coaches like Machpee and want to work with him. Shocking I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 For what it's worth I've seen quite a few folk that work in the game from coaches, scouts etc say that a lot of the time set piece coaches only look after the offensive routines as managers have their own preferences on structure when defending them. This would make sense in MacPhee's case as the way we defended them under Gerrard was different to under Smith, and may well change again under Emery. Just saying as I've often seen him criticised for how shaky we look when defending from set pieces now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) People are a bit confused because we are about as threatening at set pieces as a squirrel shouting at an ant. How many do we score from, corners 1 in 20? Free kicks 1 in 100? Also presume he looks after our ability to defend set pieces which is truly awful Edited October 31, 2022 by VillanousOne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking I know. I think the answer is as simple as useless put it. Emery doesn't bring with him a set piece coach so he get's to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know all he’s been doing for the past 12 months is handing bibs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hilarious that fans can decide that a set piece coach is " shit " based on players probably not being able to execute things properly. It's like saying an attacking coach is shit because Ollie can't finish. The fact that he keeps surviving regimes suggests he might have something about him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 He's just a set piece coach(and apparently an highly rated one) why we even discussing him. He's a pad man/water boy equv. Once again Dean Smith give him too much power on the touchline. Hope in this new era for Villa, Emery is the Chief and the rest are the Indians.

Yep, you can have the most mind blowingly creative brilliant set piece routine ever known to man that gets Tyrone Mings wide open with a free header and it's still dependant on 1) the set piece taker putting the ball on mings head 2) the defence buying in to the routine and being pulled about rather than holding their shape 3) mings winning and scoring the header Any of those 3 fail and somehow its this guy who has failed... Its not that simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
