Liverpool have announced the departure of their set-piece coach, Aaron Briggs, as part of efforts to tackle their ongoing struggles from dead-ball situations this season. The Reds have scored just three goals from set pieces (excluding penalties) in the Premier League, one of the lowest tallies in the division — only better than Wolves.Rather than recruiting a new coach to replace Briggs, Liverpool plan to redistribute the set-piece duties across the existing coaching team, according to reports.The decision follows growing public frustration from both Virgil van Dijk and manager Arne Slot about Liverpool’s lackluster performance in dead-ball situations. Van Dijk openly acknowledged that the team’s inability to convert or defend set pieces has been disappointing, despite regular work on these routines in training.Slot, meanwhile, highlighted how poor set-piece form has made it harder for the club to compete at the top level, noting the stark contrast with last season when Liverpool rarely conceded from such situations.📉 Set-Piece Struggles:
Liverpool’s negative goal difference from set plays has been a significant weakness this campaign, prompting the coaching change.
