Premier League Games | 1/2/3 Nov '25

Spuds are shite always will be. The only reason we lose against them is because Pep doesn't know how to 'Dumb it down'.
All you have to do is keep it compact against them and let them self-destruct.
 
Some bloke who was at Dippers with Pep L. James French.

Arse have Nicolas Jover. Who used to be here ffs until Arse took him.

What the hell is it? Does Pep say dont bother coaching set pieces?

I remember seeing a City fan on twitter saying 'good luck with that, he did nothing here'

The thing is for set piece tactics to work you need plenty of good jumpers who can pull off good headers and you also need a good set piece taker. We have 3 players I'd consider elite headers of the ball in Gabriel, Merino and Rice. Havertz when fit is also 1 of our best for headers too mainly due to his size. Saliba is big and scores some but not a patch on Gabriel for instance. Part of our strength with set pieces is also the defenders track all the big guys so if the ball lands elsewhere it gives lots of time and space for the smaller players to score
