Beckham had no issue with them.I'm totally convinced that the slopes at the sides of the pitch are hurting us from corners, it's very difficult to get the requisite power in the cross with a one step run up.
I'm more surprised doesn't cause more injuries than I am worried about corners tbh.I know it might seem insignificant, but almost everyone would choose to take a bigger run up than we get at home. It certainly doesn't help with any kind of consistency in taking the kicks if in half your games you get a one step or an interrupted run up.
I do have a bit of an agenda against the slope in general but I'm totally convinced it hinders us at corners.
So don't keep taking the same type of corner then.I know it might seem insignificant, but almost everyone would choose to take a bigger run up than we get at home. It certainly doesn't help with any kind of consistency in taking the kicks if in half your games you get a one step or an interrupted run up.

Set pieces are both in the attacking and defensive phases. I have no defence for him on the attacking side although we have had a lack of execution in these areas from the players, our general lack of goal scoring obviously doesn't help his cause either and I feel he gets lumbered with that also.I don't know what Ramsey does in training but to label him a fantastic coach is a stretch based on the evidence
Defensively we have improved loads on set pieces so not surprised.Tweet

So it looks like the master of set pieces might stay..
And we've scored a few more as well.Defensively we have improved loads on set pieces so not surprised.
What badges are you doing? I've just applied to do Uefa C so waiting to hear back on if I can do it.For what it is worth, I am doing my badges at the minute and I have come across a lot of materials where he is leading and talking about sessions that aren't set pieces, he does seem to know what he is on about.
Same boat, just waiting on my club affiliation number to come through before sending application.What badges are you doing? I've just applied to do Uefa C so waiting to hear back on if I can do it.
Our scoring record from set pieces has been relegation level.+ Fourth best at defending set pieces
- Third worst at scoring from them
With a team of midgets no less, how the hell has that happened?City have a +21GD from set pieces…staggering. Can’t even blame that on asthma!
At the highest levels of coaching specialisation is becoming more and more, well, specialised. People only handling one tiny very specific part of the game (which you’d think would make sense, attacking systems require a level of ingenuity and creativity which is a different skill set than defending, which is largely organisation and concentration)Our scoring record from set pieces has been relegation level.
Still posters said that he only focuses on the defensive aspects of it(which is still strange , why doesn't he do both?) So it may not be his fault at all.
Fair enough obviously but do teams like Liverpool and city follow the same principle?At the highest levels of coaching specialisation is becoming more and more, well, specialised.

I mean, I don’t have specific knowledge of their arrangements, but I’d be amazed if they didn’t, or at least weren’t strongly considering it. Liverpool used a consultant throw in coach for a while there, so they’re definitely open to any 1%Fair enough obviously but do teams like Liverpool and city follow the same principle?
Would be strange if we're doing it and they're not.

In Ramsay (if he's staying) we seem to have the defensive side of things sorted, just the attacking side of things which needs a lot of work but we knew that already.
Well, let's see how ten hag's going to do it as by all records he seems to be quite modern in these aspects.I mean, I don’t have specific knowledge of their arrangements, but I’d be amazed if they didn’t, or at least weren’t strongly considering it. Liverpool used a consultant throw in coach for a while there, so they’re definitely open to any 1%
I suppose it best to sort out the defence first.+ Fourth best at defending set pieces
- Third worst at scoring from them
Perhaps he hasn’t been given time to do both? He isn’t the manager, he doesn’t get unlimited time to coach whatever he wants.Our scoring record from set pieces has been relegation level.
Still posters said that he only focuses on the defensive aspects of it(which is still strange , why doesn't he do both?) So it may not be his fault at all.
It's very simple. They dominate games and possession. The opposition have had minimal set-piece attempts against them.With a team of midgets no less, how the hell has that happened?
I don't know mate, I'm not knowledgeable enough in this regard, I called him a fraud in an another thread and some posters were quick to correct me and stats like these show that he indeed has improved us on the defensive facet of it.Perhaps he hasn’t been given time to do both? He isn’t the manager, he doesn’t get unlimited time to coach whatever he wants.
When Rangnick was asked about it he alluded to us not spending any time on corners at all pretty much. When you’re playing twice a week and absolute shit with a new manager trying new things you aren’t going to get hours a day to spend on corners. With limited time, it makes sense to focus on defending.
He’s also been working as a general coach, not a set piece coach, since Rangnick came in as well.
That doesn’t explain how they score so many.It's very simple. They dominate games and possession. The opposition have had minimal set-piece attempts against them.
I would like to see a chart of % conceded and % scored vs just raw numbers.
No. The % of corners that result in a goal is 3%. It would literally be a waste of time and money.Would it be wise to get another coach just for offensive set pieces, so Ramsay would only be in charge of the defensive ones.
If you've got a cashier that's good at arithmetic but crap at customer hospitality, would you hire someone to do the talking for him?Would it be wise to get another coach just for offensive set pieces, so Ramsay would only be in charge of the defensive ones.
Yeah, did not expect that at all.Pretty flabbergasting we’re only 1 off West Ham who are renowned as being brilliant from set pieces.
