Maybe he is all "laugh and giggles". As we all know, our players love that approach.Why’s he getting so much praise from the squad? Isn’t he a set piece coach? We rarely score them and always look like conceding on them. I’ve not seen anything different aswell to say we’re working on corners.
What does he do then?I'd have thought the examples of McKenna and Carrick would make some here a little more cautious about criticising our coaches. Ramsay was incredibly highly rated before joining United. Could it be that he's actually pretty... good? He's not a set piece coach and was never brought in for that reason (allegedly he was filling in temporarily).
By all accounts, he's a first team coach. Not a set piece specialist coach. I'm just saying that we can't completely judge him solely on being a member of ETH's coaching team, just as we couldn't judge McKenna or Carrick in Ole's setup. We had more of an idea of McKenna when he was coaching the under 18s and they played attractive, possession heavy football. Yet little of that was translating to the first team because McKenna's methods had to fit into Ole's tactical framework. I suspect we'll see Ramsay in a positive light in his next job in the same way we now do of McKenna and Carrick. Lots of talk around coaching circles is that he's excellent.What does he do then?
Is this post sarcastic?Its great that a specialist has joined the club, carefully prepared set pieces are an essential part of any teams makeup nowadays.

Good posts, which fit in with what I've been told.By all accounts, he's a first team coach. Not a set piece specialist coach.

It's such a pointless phrase. It should just be a given. What would be the point in signing or hiring anybody at a club like this if they weren't 'highly rated'?Every coach, scout, or young player is highly rated when we sign them.
That , unfortunately, hasn't aged well has it ?This is great news! It’s what everyone was saying we needed last season. We conceded an awful lot of goals of set pieces, this should improve us massively. Things are looking promising for next season!
Aston Villa. 2 of them in fact - one free kick that went through all the way and very poorly defended. The other one through a corner which was also shockingly defended with no marking whatsoever at the far post.Knee jerk. When was the last time we conceded via set piece ? What's the average ?
Also two against galatasaray.Aston Villa. 2 of them in fact - one free kick that went through all the way and very poorly defended. The other one through a corner which was also shockingly defended with no marking whatsoever at the far post.
Clearly not. Think we all got excited when he was appointed.That , unfortunately, hasn't aged well has it ?
No, he’s right. Before the game, Man Utd had conceded only three goals from corners in the league this season. Meaning only five teams have defended corner kicks better. Set pieces in general we are mid table. So it’s true, it’s a bit knee jerk to claim we’re particularily bad at defending corners (and even set pieces) based on one game and anecdotal evidence that comes to mind.Aston Villa. 2 of them in fact - one free kick that went through all the way and very poorly defended. The other one through a corner which was also shockingly defended with no marking whatsoever at the far post.
It's the hope that kills you.Clearly not. Think we all got excited when he was appointed.
You don’t know the Caf very well in that case!I'd have thought the examples of McKenna and Carrick would make some here a little more cautious about criticising our coaches.
And we're so good at allowing that, that diagonal free kick or corner into the box that either goes all the way through or an opponent heads it uncontested. That's on coaching. Every time we have to face a set piece around or into the box, it's borderline chaos and yet it never improves. I really don't know what our coaching team does.Aston Villa. 2 of them in fact - one free kick that went through all the way and very poorly defended.
