Re: Set Piece Coach
I think everyone knows a set piece coach is there for offensive coaching not defending or he would be called an defensive coach

Re: Set Piece Coach
I’m not sure about today but VK went to the dugout in the last game on every defensive set piece….who came out instead of him I’m unsure but this would suggest the set piece coach does both offensive and defensive .
Anyone seen the same thing?

Re: Set Piece Coach
Looking back at the league games before today, how many goals have we conceded from corners in the games vs Palace, Bournemouth, Brentford, Chelsea, Luton & Man United (ie the previous 6)?

Re: Set Piece Coach
This isn't something new, there were times last season when we looked vulnerable from crosses and set pieces (especially corners).
The difference was we had the majority of the ball which restricts the amount of times teams can put us in these situations, this season we are under the cosh more often.
The keeper is one thing but too often we have players unable to clear their box with headers, we can't keep harping back to Mee and Tarkowski but they were able to clear their lines more often than not.
It's not something we can hide from, it's a weakness and everybody, including opposition managers can see, it's how to hurt us. VK either deals with this or teams will continue to punish us week on week.

Re: Set Piece Coach
It’s worth pointing out Arsenal had thirteen corners today and are the best set piece scorers in the league.

Re: Set Piece Coach
Been trying to find the PL stats on goals conceded from set pieces, because I think there’s some recency bias here.
We’re generally lacking defensively, but defending set pieces wasn’t a major concern compared to other issues before today. Losing the ball 30-40 yards from goal has been more of a problem.

Re: Set Piece Coach
VK should know a bit about set pieces.
Re: Set Piece Coach
I just can't get my head around how poor offensively and defensively we are at set pieces knowing who our manager is and his knowledge in the game truly baffling

Re: Set Piece Coach
There is nothing that’s annoyed me all season more than our set pieces. Not necessarily defensively but offensively.
Credit where it’s due, we changed today and didn’t pass them backwards. I’ll save my “sack him” comments on that basis, but SO much work to do to get anywhere near Prem level

He was even instructing them how to take throws ,and against Palace we had a free kick on the halfway line and Brownhill was turning round to him to see where he should put it.Hedontplayforyou wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2023 5:21 pmI’m not sure about today but VK went to the dugout in the last game on every defensive set piece….who came out instead of him I’m unsure but this would suggest the set piece coach does both offensive and defensive .

Re: Set Piece Coach
To add to that, I can't believe how eagerly we conceded some of the corners today. Its almost like nobody on the coaching staff said to try and not give them easy corners.Swizzlestick wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2023 5:24 pmIt’s worth pointing out Arsenal had thirteen corners today and are the best set piece scorers in the league.

Re: Set Piece Coach
The set piece coach is some lad he brought from Anderlecht who's got a sport science degree and slowly come through Anderlecht's backroom setup.
Never like to single people out for the chop but he's made us worse at setpieces than last year and that takes some doing. Seriously needs questions asking.

Re: Set Piece Coach
I think we can get so much better at restricting the number of corners we concede. If we give Arsenal 13 corners I would bet a large amount of money that at least one would result I a goal against.dougcollins wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2023 5:58 pmTo add to that, I can't believe how eagerly we conceded some of the corners today.

The second goal comes from a crap pass from O’Shea to Vitinho and poor control and strength - we sloppily lose possession in a good area of the pitch and 5 seconds later they are having a shot on goal.

Well he should stick to sports science then and let the ex-players & coaches who have played the game take control.spt_claret wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2023 6:00 pmThe set piece coach is some lad he brought from Anderlecht who's got a sport science degree and slowly come through Anderlecht's backroom setup.

The defenders may have something to do with it.
Coaches coach, that's all. It's up to the players in the match.

Re: Set Piece Coach
See I hate to sound like I'm arguing against my own initial post here but being an ex-pro is genuinely meaningless. Mourinho & Wenger never made it, McMenemy never played above nonleague, Dyche & Howe were lower league players but are better managers than Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney. Ferguson was a decent player but not worldie, was an elite manager.Blondeclaret wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2023 6:20 pmWell he should stick to sports science then and let the ex-players & coaches who have played the game take control.
Frankly the route into management already screens out people who weren't ex pros between the cost and time requirement of getting the UEFA Pro licence, outsiders sometimes bring fresh ideas which can be effective.
Whatever our failings may be at set pieces him not playing the game as a pro isn't the cause for it.

Re: Set Piece Coach
How do you know what his actual roles and responsibilities are? For all we know he may be performing well in his role. And any comments suggesting he should lose his job without knowing this are just crass.Blondeclaret wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2023 6:20 pmWell he should stick to sports science then and let the ex-players & coaches who have played the game take control.

It's about time some of our armchair coaches put forward their ideas for improvement.

I think he's still on paternity leave or something given how

Needs a coat of looking at, that's for sure.

I think you are referring to Eliot Tybebo who came in this summer but he works under Richard Bredice who arrived at the same time as Kompany.spt_claret wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2023 6:00 pmThe set piece coach is some lad he brought from Anderlecht who's got a sport science degree and slowly come through Anderlecht's backroom setup.

Re: Set Piece Coach
Stat wise we may not have conceded a lot of goals from corners this season, but I seem to recall , like the Luton and Bournemouth matches lots of headers won by the opposition that went wide, but could easily have scored.

Re: Set Piece Coach
Not sure if the commentator was right but apparently it was the first headed goal we conceded this season and against a team very good at corners.
I think the issue isn't with planning or training, but more about the lack of confidence in the goalkeeper and lack of partnerships between players. Part of the reason we did so well under Dyche was because we picked the same team each week so everyone knew their job. Our players just haven't gelled yet which isn't really surprising given how many signings we made.
A talker in goal would help but Trafford isn't quite there yet... And on top of that we don't have another player who will step up and organize us. We need more leaders on the pitch.
