The Origins of the Set Piece Revolution

from The Double Pivot: Soccer analysis, analytics, and commentary · host Mike Goodman and Michael Caley

Caley wrote a newsletter about the origins of the set piece revolution, whether it's all Mikel Arteta's fault, how teams actually score off throw-ins, and why set pieces didn't take over the game earlier. This pod talks through the newsletter and some of our theories of how the set piece side of the game is interacting with larger open play tactical trends. Newsletter link: https://www.expectinggoals.com/p/the-origins-of-the-set-piece-revolutionAlso newsletter link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/origins-of-set-154510725?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkSupport the show
