Liverpool’s Set-Piece Coach Aaron Briggs Departs Amid Joint-Worst Record in Europe
Liverpool has announced the departure of set-piece coach Aaron Briggs. This move comes during a challenging season where the team has recorded the joint-worst set-piece performance among Europe’s top five leagues.
A Troubling Set-Piece Record
Throughout the current Premier League campaign, Liverpool has allowed 12 goals from set pieces. This statistic highlights the team’s struggles in defensive situations, especially during set plays.
Recent Performance
In their latest match, Liverpool faced Wolves, where they secured a 2-1 victory. However, even in this win, the team conceded a goal from a corner kick, underlining ongoing defensive issues.
Decision for Change
According to sources, Liverpool’s management believed that changes were necessary to improve the team’s set-piece strategy. As a result, it was mutually decided that Briggs would leave Anfield.
Looking Ahead
With Briggs’ exit, Liverpool aims to address this critical area of their game. The club now seeks to find a replacement who can help rectify their defensive vulnerabilities.
- Joint-worst set-piece record in Europe’s big five leagues
- 12 set-piece goals conceded in the Premier League
- Last goal conceded from a corner in a home win against Wolves
Changes are essential if Liverpool intends to improve performance ahead of the next fixtures. The club’s focus now shifts to enhancing their defensive strategies in set-piece situations.
