Welcome Charlie Adam

[Toffe3m4n]

Seen a lot of people online suggesting that he's a mad choice considering that he 'was never great at taking set pieces himself'..

Whether coaches were actually any good at the thing they're teaching themselves doesn't make that much a difference, surely? just like how you see plenty of managers out there who played at a very high level in the game not really transferring that. We've been managed by two such cases ourselves in recent years..

He's obviously been working on his coaching chops ever since he retired from playing, so if he's been identified as having a particular set of credentials to his name (in this case, set pieces) then fair play - give him a go. The way I see it, the more that this lot get coached across all aspects of the game, the better.

Can’t say I remember him taking corners to know if they were good or bad. Some people have a nuts memory.

An abomination of a human being.
A football laughing stock.
Sacked by Fleetwood.
Managed by Moyes brother.
Baines can’t be any worse picking up set pieces.

I thought these embarrassing episodes were a thing of the past.
What a complete shambles.

Baines used to take free kicks, wonder what makes Adam(who looks about 50) more qualified?

Mourinho never played at a decent level and Lampard was a PL and CL winner and Chelsea’s all-time top scorer. Doing the sport well doesn’t always mean coaching it well, and vice-versa.

It really, really isn't that deep christ

I think just having a set piece coach is a step forward.

Mate
Your wife was probably as much to blame as him

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

Not about taking the kick but moreso being able to spot weaknesses in opposition positioning and the whole setup as well as knowing how to set up against them. Maybe he has an eye for it.

If you want good set pieces bring Dyche back

Just a bit of fun. No idea about Adam’s coaching of set piece credentials but it seems a bit left field this appointment

I think the last corner we scored from was Liverpool?

Exactly this - can anyone remember Nicolas Jover's or Austin MacPhee's footy careers ?
