Austin MacPhee

Getting mentions is Swedish media now :D 

Quote

My new favorite in the Premier League is neither player nor manager.

Austin MacPhee is easily recognizable by his blonde hairdo and is Aston Villas' specialist in fixed situations. At every throw-in, corner and free-kick - offensively and defensively - he rushed up from the bench at Old Trafford and placed himself next to Dean Smith.

 

In broad Scottish, he raved instructions to the players, pointing feverishly with his fingers here and there. As a Swede, I did not perceive very concretely and even John McGinn admitted that he must prick up his ears to understand what the countryman wants to achieve.

Despite the communication problems, MacPhee's presence has an effect. Aston Villa won against Manchester United after Kortney Hause's corner goal (which should have been ruled out due to offside according to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who has a continued strained relationship with PGMOL).

Google translate as always the comedian.

TBF it's nothing radical. I mean our two best corners today were just whipped into six yard box and one of our CBs made a run and got on the end of the cross. Konsa should've scored first half.

Think at times set pieces just get overcomplicated. All that floated to far post nonsense under Lambert and short corners never seem to work for us. Nothing wrong with just whipping it into six yard box sometimes and see what happens.

I agree to a point, but there's still so much more that goes on too with positioning in the box and also defending set pieces too, which is also a large part of the job.

Seems like Hause ran away from goal looking for a shorter ball. I feel it might have been a plan, and more complicated than it seems.

Whipped in. That's the key. In the past we've always floated in these awful corners time after time. I'm a massive advocate of belting the ball in with as much pace as possible. Defenders hate it! Great movement for the goal too.
