This is going well. Conceded the third most set piece goals and one of only 3 teams yet to score from a set piece

Err isn’t a free kick a set piece? Pretty sure I remember Dom Szobozlai hitting a belter.

Though wondering what some of these appointments are doing that we made in the summer.

So, uh, has Giovanni van Bronckhorst brought anything to this side? I know Heitinga was considered a vital member of the coaching staff last year, especially with helping Slot and Husloff adapt the the Prem. But I haven’t seen any indication that GVB has had a meaningful impact this far.

Then again, I admit that it’s likely that any impact he’s had wouldn’t be evident unless you were close to the team.

Would be interesting to know everything what Briggs is doing now.

It was reported last season that the football department was highly satisfied with his capture. Obviously Gio was brought in to replace Heitinga.

But from this season, set-pieces are Briggs’ new or added responsibility. Under Klopp, it was Krawietz’s task.

Let’s see how the season progresses, but this is an area where we might have to get it right with an individual or more people taking care of set-pieces.

Sorry, ‘one of only three Premier League teams yet to score from a corner or indirect free-kick this season’

Stretching the dimensions a bit to fit now :wink:

I think the point is that corners and indirect frees are common and well planned and executed routines are reliably getting goals for all those other teams. Scoring from a direct free kick ala Dom is not something you can rely upon.

That free kick yea perhaps but free kicks in and around the box are still as dangerous as corners.

If he sends it in the box and VVD heads it in then it’s classed the same as the scorcher he scored from 30 yards. How many direct free kicks are still used as indirect to score?

Just seems a bit of a fudge to make a point, any how the biggest improvement last night was the way we defended set pieces.
