Taxi for Aaron Briggs & Others

[Kev0909]

a post I see elsewhere sums it up



I do feel for Briggs. He was signed on as a first team coach. We couldnt hire a set piece coach last year. So we temporarily gave the role to him out of necessity - he was not a set piece coach by trade however had analysed them at Man City for a while

We then advertised the role this season, he got it permanently. Despite how poor we were at set pieces last year

Ultimately he chose to take on that responsibility. He failed at his job and rightly got the boot. But it feels like a total failure of the process that got to that point by the club. He should never have been in that position in the first place

Tony Pulis, your time has come.

The line from the club is …

Responsibility for preparing the team for set-pieces will be taken on by the rest of Liverpool's coaching staff.

Saves a wage I suppose. Worst in Europe for set pieces and we don't bother to appoint a set piece coach. Perhaps it'll get better on its own.

Of course he had to go, but I wonder if this plays out like the sacking of Colin Pascoe, the problems ran much deeper and Brendan followed a few months later.

🤣 🤣

Colin Pascoe

🤣 🤣

If you're EVER unhappy about what's happening at the club just think how much worse it could be. We used to employ absolute weaponry like that.

I just had to look at what he's been doing since:

In June 2015, Pascoe was sacked by Liverpool as assistant manager. Since leaving Liverpool, Colin returned to Wales to spend more time with his family. In 2019 he oversaw the opening of a Rhyl branch of motorway services retailer Cotton Traders. He still works there to this day.

That's rather funny

I read the article on sky yesterday and it's actually the second balls we are having issues with and Virgil has spoken about it previously. You'd think they wouldn't actually need that much coaching on the issue but hey ho.
Arsenal have defended 55 set pieces and we were something like 85 I think which shows another aspect, we are giving away too many to start with and shows yet again that we aren't working as hard as last season in terms of distance and keeping possession.
It mentions that Slot sees set pieces as an "add on". Not as much of a priority to him personally I guess, other sides are having success with it though being a bit more creative in their attacking set pieces.

Any running stats to hand for the PL season to date ?

We’re not picking up proper pressing and counter pressing positions

We have too many players in space looking to receive a meaningless 5 yard ball in the middle, crowding ourselves out and making it easy to nick it and counter

We let an opposition mid receive it in space in the centre of the pitch behind all our mids receive it easy and transition easy and the player pass the ball easy

Watching Arsenal tonight were a million miles off a proper press and counter pressing positions and they’re not as good as we were at it under Jurgen or last season
Too 3 the top 3 in the press and counter press also it’s a fucking joke and the reason we’re conceding too many corners in the first place and goals from them and on the counter

It all stems from a change of formation and an emphasis of too many players looking to be in space to receive and play a nothing 5 yard pass to try and make Wirtz look a superstar instead of most players picking g up while also being well placed to join an attack if needed

It’s how Arsenal, Villa, PSG, City etc etc etc all play and how we used to

The game HAS changed and 4231 with no press or counter press and too many players looking to be in space instead of picking up WILL NOT be successful

Will you please pack it in with your faux football knowledge. You are completely clueless.
