That’s not all he does. He’s also responsible for individual development in the first team. And of course a first team coach along with the others.I never thought our set piece coach would be a wanted man seeing as we are absolutely useless at both defending them and scoring from them
50 TB of cross it into Casemiro or McTominaySomebody get his fecking laptop

Exactly this36 month gardening leave or 100m compensation and a men in black style memory wipe.
Yeah I mean you are right that despite a couple of new variations, our attacking set pieces have been pretty poor. Although with proper delivery (mainly from Shaw) we’ve scored from a few free kicks.I was half joking TBH, but only half !
good luck to him if he gets the gig
Yeah, I think he was offered the Blackpool job last season but we refused to let him go. And there were reports on the BBC that Swansea were interested a couple of months ago.Wasn’t he being approached for by Swansea and Blackpool and maybe some other EFL clubs?
Minnesota United seems like one hell of a drop in quality with all respect to them.
If we started doing Villa's set piece routines, that 'players stood offside blocking off defenders' bullshit would be banned within a month.I think we've looked a bit better at set pieces the past couple of weeks. Sure, we've conceded from them anyway, but that Villa one seemed particularly unfortunate and we've been winning more first contacts.
Obviously Ramsay was involved in more than just set pieces, but I hope we respond to him leaving by poaching a proper specialist from a PL rival. Bernardo Cueva of Brentford has a good track record, as does Austin MacPhee of Villa.
I have no idea who's doing them at Arsenal but, if it isn't Arteta himself, forget those guys and get this one in a van.

They've been really good at them for a couple of years each now. The standouts this season have been Everton and Luton, which should surprise absolutely nobody given the game those sides play.You mention we should poach someone from a premier league rival which had me at
Then mention Brentford and Villa
Our throw in 'routine' is absolutely shambolic. Walk up to the ball with no urgency so that the opposition team is set; no idea of game management to speeden this process up and catch teams off guard or get an easy outlet. Have no clear short, medium or long options. Throw it down the line to someone, who is marked by two players. Lose ball and/or hope we somehow retain possession.Pretty random. We are terrible at set pieces, not sure if that's up to him or the players though. So not sure I can say this is a loss.
I don't know why Onana doesn't just get himself in the way of the offside player. Stand beside or behind them, then when the ball is delivered, just bump into them. Automatic interference of play.If we started doing Villa's set piece routines, that 'players stood offside blocking off defenders' bullshit would be banned within a month.
We are but honestly I think most of that is down to the players. Being good at set pieces generally requires having tall, aggressive, and determined players and of course good set piece takers.He was arguably one of the best set pieces coaches, after watching us at defending and attacking set pieces I'd say it was all bullshit. We're terrible at both.

what if he’s extracting the maximum from the group of players we have, and without him we concede from every set piece? remember maguire tackling shaw to allow spurs to score against us? that could be every corner without ramsey.He won’t be missed. Absolutely useless. We must be one of the worst at set pieces in the league.
I almost erased that from my memory. Cheers!what if he’s extracting the maximum from the group of players we have, and without him we concede from every set piece? remember maguire tackling shaw to allow spurs to score against us? that could be every corner without ramsey.
Yeah the Villa and Arsenal guys are quite clever. Brentford used to be too but now they seem to have dropped off.Pretty weird a team coming in for a set piece coach to be there manager if you ask me. Don't think we’d miss him that much. We should get the set piece coach from Villa though, always seems to have a plan and gets up every time they have a set piece.
