Steve Nicol arguing the toss about the importance of Liverpool's throw in coach.

Seems like the science of modern day football and gaining a percentage advantage in certain areas is too much for him to cope with.

'My argument is...I mean, come on!'.

Do we have one? And are there stats on this? I would expect us to have the worst “retain possession after throw in” percentage of any team. We are woeful and it has annoyed me for a couple of seasons now.

 

Is it PotG?

Very much this. It's got to the point recently where our throw ins are an advantage to the opposition.
Edit to say that was a reply to mreprice.

It feels to me like our problem on throw ins is the lack of movement and thus lack of options for the thrower to pass to. It seems like no one wants the ball thrown to them.
