[Albion] Marco Knoop - leaving

[jcdenton08]

He was responsible for defensive set pieces at St. Pauli, and carried that role on at Brighton. We were finally seeing some improvement too!

Yep.

Only thing is the number of goals we (seem to) concede on the break following attacking corners.

Two goals from set pieces against Spurs where Hinsh called out the coaches for his positioning showing that set piece coaching is a lot more than just "how to kick the ball in the box from a corner".

Huerzeler has been super clear throughout how important set pieces are, and I suspect there are still lots of things that can about the way we deal with both attacking and defending them, given how often he's mentioned it (i.e. lack of goals from CBs this season)

Good. Our goalkeeping and set pieces have been dreadful. No space for passengers.

TBF, lately it seems to be more common to concede from a corner than score for all clubs.

Not having a CB who is good at attacking headers doesn't help.

We created plenty of chances from set pieces that were poorly headed. Not sure what more a set piece coach can do TBH.

Brighton had the fourth-best record defending set pieces and the fifth-best record scoring from them, hardly dreadful

Don’t let the numbers get in the way of the vibes!

Factually incorrect thought. Nice try. We are one of the best in fact.

Opened this expecting to get some insider background as to why Marco is leaving (was it his choice or ours?) but Naylor has basically just cobbled this article together from Instagram 24 hours after Knoop posted
