Agreed. But you know how the story goes… he leaves us and his new team suddenly score 20+ set piece goals a season. Carrick and McKenna got a lot of stick here but are proving they wasn’t the problem.

a victim of poor governmental policies. it went downhill fast in the 90s when they welcomed relocating sex offenders from other states.
Ye Arsenal have been really good this season at set pieces.
How did you find your time in Minneapolis?
In what way is it like Somalia?
too much competition.
I can’t imagine there’s much on it .
A good athletic piece about Arsenal, Villa and Brentford and their set piece strategies. https://theathletic.com/4358447/2023/03/30/set-piece-specialists-transforming-football/
It'd be cool if we can get the Villa guy to replace Ramsay.
Violent crime rates went up a fair bit there in the last few years.

Its a strange one, Villa have conceded more than we have from set pieces this season so far, and only scored two more than we have.
We massively need to improve this part of our game though, Consider us versus teams above us.

A 14 goal swing between us and arsenal just from set pieces is unforgivable. 10 from city. Obviously more attacking teams equals more free kicks and corners equals more crossing chances, I havent looked up set piece totals so that context is needed but still - it's a really poor part of our game.

He'll win the super bowl next year
Good for him, can’t say he’s leaving for warmer weather.
Minnesota is Fargo isn't it?
Can't we ask £10M for him or stick him on gardening leave 
Yeah it's not near the UK
Yes I'm aware that Minnesota is not in the UK mate.
Oh no!
Anyway…
For a so-called set piece specialist he was as useful as a chocolate firefighter.

It's located in the north of the United States, it's quite close to the Canadian border.
I see you know your Google maps well.
yeah, like 4000 miles away.
You here all week?
unless my dang parole officer turns off my internet again.
It's not far off and gets pretty cold.
So much for Minnesota Nice.
Jumping before he was pushed?
Let’s be fair, he was useless.
Can we steal Arsenals set piece coach?

He was assistant coach though, not just “set piece guy.” You’d think fans would’ve learnt their lesson after Carrick and McKenna, but here we are.
I remember Fletcher rating him highly. Only time will tell.
He wasn't a specialised set piece coach. He's a technical coach that we wanted because of his potential, a square peg to fill a round hole vacancy.
31? Looks 40.
'I know where you live' he said while stealing the cars from her garage at her house. We certainly have a criminal mastermind at work here.
good luck to the lad. A coach has to do a stand out job in MLS though to eventually get a big move afterwards, the closest successful (in terms of getting an EPL job) equivalent in these parts would be Postegcoglu who eventually got the Spurs job via celtic and yokohama after a lot of work in Oz.

Odd career move for a supposedly highly rated coach. He seems quite young in terms of a coach who has been operating at the top level, so he can afford it if he has big aspirations.
Good riddance.
Fargo is in North Dakota
Another one of those supposedly highly rated coaches who seemed to be having very little impact on our on the pitch performance. Stealing a living, I hope this is because INEOS told him there was no future for him here.
No, it's Minnesota. Jerry works in Minneapolis.
I was originally asking if Fargo was set in Minnesota not where is Fargo the actual place.
In that case it was set in both and the road in between as well.
