We have no problem scoring goals. It's defensively from set pieces I think we conceded the second most in the league.
I didn't say we have problems scoring goals, along with our set plays our passing needs improving too.
Having a goalkeeper who will come for crosses and defenders who are better in the air than Lindelof and Wan Bissaka, would really make a difference.
Very true. We know Dave isn't coming and Henderson is still unproven but he's come for more in the last few games of the season than I've seen Dave come for in his full career here. This could be just a good a signing as any actual players we sign.
Not sure about that, but Arsenal signed one last season from Man City they conceded the fewest set piece goals. He’s also left them after one season too. Maybe it’s just a role that coaches like to move around in?
We've been weak at set-pieces with Henderson in goal too. Ditto whoever we've played in defence. The problem isn't with the players.
It's really down to very fine margins at top level. Given the millions of dollars involved, anything that could provide the team with a potential competitive advantage should really be covered.
I’d just like to add that Ramsey isn’t just here to coach set pieces. He’s an excellent all round coach and the idea that we’ve employed a special teams type coach is ludicrous
The 2nd video is very positive regarding bypassing the press and pressing itself.
Why don't you ask my opinion before jumping into conclusions?
I'd take Tuchel as Ole's assistant
Better than smashing them up I suppose...
Worse still when it's Luke Shaw that's dropping it like some heat seeking missile on Harry's head!
Exactly, which was the weird part.
Ooh decisions
This gave me a chuckle
I agree, I would bet at least 6 points this season from set pieces alone with his signing. He is the real deal. We have the big heads in the middle to score, and those same big heads to defend, Ole just didn't know how to coach that piece, and that is ok, everyone has their talents. I can't wait for this season to start!
In fairness, Maguire seems to get his head on about 90% of balls in, but seems not to get many dangerous headers in.
Funny. I was coaching a High School team and during a match, the corner taker raises both his arms every time. During half time I asked him what's all this about and he said he thought it was a signal that he had to do before he took every corner. I asked him who told you that? He said he sees it on the TV.
Based on what we're told this coach will be doing no not a coincidence but definitely unrelated
With all the chat around him and how highly rated he is, if he does well here then who knows where he ends up in regards to management!
To be fair Ramsey was Chelsea U23 Assistant manager. He wasn't Chelsea's first team coach. He might not be the reason of that set pieces stats.
I suspect the club know what they're doing. Seems like people are moaning for the sake of moaning. We have no idea how good he is or what he brings, no one even knew who he was until he joined us. Maybe wait to see if there's a noticeable difference in our play before we start complaining about who else we could've got?
Martyn Pert and Richard Hartis were responsible for set piece defending.
He wasn't with the Chelsea first team last year?
