A big fat shot of it

It is a bit jobs for Moyes boys but no real problem with it as it’s only until the end of the season. If he’s good he’ll maybe earn himself a longer deal if he isn’t he’ll be on his bike. If he’s shit AND gets a longer deal - that’s the old Everton and yeah it sucks.

Taken from an interview with Charlie Adam recently talking about many things but this is the only interesting / relevant bit:

'Thoughts on Set Pieces in the Premier League.

Have Arsenal become over reliant on set plays? Have they sacrificed some of their attacking principles and replaced them with set pieces?

I’m all for it. It’s part of the coaching. It’s like a manual really about set-plays. You can win a game, you can lose a game from a set-play.

So, the energy and the time and the effort that they put in, obviously there’s a lot of set-play coaches now in the Premier League. But if you look at Arsenal being so successful, and I look at Aston Villa similar, Brentford similar, there’ll be a lot of work going into it. A lot of detail goes into it. And they’re getting the rewards for it.

Ultimately, I would never say that Arsenal have given up their attacking principles because there’s no way they’ve done that. What they have done is that when they get an opportunity to have a set play, they become in control of the situation by blocking, by making things happen.

It’s like a throw-in. It’s an opportunity to have the ball. You get the ball back for a throw-in. That’s your opportunity to keep the ball. Set plays are the same. Go and work on things and put in that attention to detail in the Premier League. I’m all for it and I think it’s something that Arsenal should be really proud of in terms of what they’ve done so far and the numbers they’ve got.

But I look at Brentford, Aston Villa. They’re the other teams I’ve been watching in terms of set plays and the goals that they’ve scored. So, no, I think it’s been a great thing for Arsenal as well. And let’s say it’s good for teams to add something different.

It’s not just about being one-dimensional and thinking you can always win with a set-play. But if there’s an opportunity to score a goal from a set-play, then you have to use it.

When you come up with something, could you smell a bit of fear in the opponent when you had one?

Of course you do and that’s through video analysis, you see who wants to go and hit the ball, you target these types of players. You look at the spaces, the gaps, the opportunities where you think you can attack and where you can hurt opponents.

So yeah, I think set plays then ultimately comes down to the delivery. You get the delivery right, you’ve got quality and you’ve got somebody with quality that can deliver. Then it gives you an opportunity to score a goal.

Absolutely no fucking clue if he's any good at all at his job, absolutely not unusual in any walk of life to hire your mates and for them to be good at their job as well like.

If Allardyce had said that we'd be going mad.

[777Kidnappings]

If Allardyce had said that we'd be going mad.

Surely the difference is Allardyce was manager and that type of thing was his whole game. This is our set piece coach talking about set pieces.

You might want a Directors Bitter instead.

Directors bitter? I've got it coming out of my taps.

[Bluedylan1]

He's only got the gig til the summer at the moment, so he'll have to prove himself in the job. If he's not upto scratch, or we identify someone better when we have the breathing space of the summer to assess it, sound.

In all honesty I wasn't even expecting us to bring anyone in to work on set pieces this year, so really I don't see the problem. It means that it's a thing the manager doesn't have to work on, that he can delegate, which hopefully frees up more of his time to focus on things like attacking patterns.

If Adam's involvement contributes to say 3/4 goals between now and the end of the season, then sound, it's been a smart move. It's a no lose situation.

Hot fuss

Let's also keep an eye on how much we concede from them, cos that's part of the job too.

[brap2]

I suppose we'll want to see if we are creating / conceding but I really must stress I wasn't commenting on his ability as a set piece coach it was about the club's way of operating, and surely that's all anyone is able to talk about because what the hell do we know about Charlie Adams proficiency at set piece coaching but nevermind.

What would be the alternative though? A job interview?
