Yeah, and trying to build pressure on defensive team, whilst
creating a positive mental attitude for attacking team. The others will catch on, but take the advantage whilst it is there. |

The set-piece coach at Arsenal is important, evidently. Sunderland were the ones doing the long-throws today. Arsenal's thing is corners, Brentford, Palace and Sunderland are much 'worse' for long-throws. It's the less possession and territorially dominant sides that do them most.

Sunderland moved the adverts today as arsenal longthrows
use more space than Sunderland. Lol |

Arsenal were attempting long throws, Gabriel came up for them in the first half for sure, the snag was that to be successful at a long throw you have to, by definition have someone able to throw it a long way and Arsenal had Rice who couldnt.

Good point. Long-throwing isn’t easy, I.e. not everyone can do it effectively. In short it is a speciality.
It is also much, much more entertaining than a five yard short throw. Surely that is its second virtue. |

what i don't understand with long throws is, in Brentford game, POPE can jump and with hands is 4ft taller than outfield players so instead of standing behind players at near post,why doesn't he stand in front of them , even longest thrower in game isnt going to launch it over keepers head
|

By:
Don't know but I would imagine that if the keeper was standing in front of the near post he'd feel out of position with the goal behind him unguarded by him, also what's to stop another opposing player plonking himself in front of him still, also if he was standing in front of the schmozzle behind him and the throw was then quickly taken short and then crossed in he'd now be scrambling past a crowd of players trying to get back into position in his goal.

There's no offside until attacking team touch ball.
Lots of blocking, and plenty have thrown ball past near post. Same as defending a corner, but ball coming from a more difficult angle to defend, albeit at a slower pace. |

None of these throws are like Rory Delap's, the key to his was that he was able to throw it in flat and with pace, flat being the real key because it's harder to get something on it from a defensive stance, the loopy ones are much easier to deal with.

plenty have throw ball past near post over a keeper who can reach 12ft minimum just be stretching ,Brentford thrower best in game if he can reach middle of goal back post with it ,why,s he only throwing it to near post ?
|

By:
Looking in slow motion a lot of these throws are illegal with players not keeping the back foot on the ground.
|

By:
Agreed but I'm glad it's overlooked more often than not. Stupid rule.

Because 12ft goalie catches it beyond front post. |

why not train players to pump more garryowns into boxes? why not train players to shield your player with a ring of 6ft 10in 24st team mates when he has the ball so he can run or even walk into the box right up to the line then poke it in?
