Only took 85 set pieces for one to pay off We have 5 goals this season from set pieces out of out 23 in the league. We are doing well from them Interestingly we have conceded 10 from set pieces so not good the other way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Anyone notice that he constantly gives the instructions to anyone coming on and every time it looks like the player has zero interest in what he is saying. It was in one ear and out the other with Coutinho today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a footballer thing in general, they just want to get on the pitch and not have a quick read about set piece instructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who to give the new Spanish lad the instructions - one of the half dozen Spanish coaches? Nah get the old Scottish bloke to do it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Fins rhe critism of him to be hilarious. I've never seen fans be so critical of a coach before, without there being some obvious thing they have done wrong. I truly believe all the critism of him has only startet because of his hair, because the fanbase has absolutely no idea what his role truly is and how he is doing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would assume he has the default level of coaching badges making him a useful translator for the day to day, and brings with him added specialism for set pieces. We're looking better from free kicks and corners than we have done in years, although the competition from those previous year's is none existent. Austin in for me.

I truly believe all the critism of him has only startet because of his hair, because the fanbase has absolutely no idea what his role truly is and how he is doing Done it myself. My main criticism at the start was under Smith was that every single throw in we got in the opposition half took a week to take and invariably came to nothing and under Gerrard every free kick earned in the opposition half was pumped into the box from any angle. I think it was deemed a set piece coach had far far too much influence on the team. Was it his fault. Fair enough, probably not.
