Firing a coach is never nice. It is likely that he was not the only reason for Liverpool being so bad at set pieces. But it was his main job, and he clearly was not able to do what was asked of him. We can hope now the players respond and luck turns in our favor a little bit too. It’s essential.

Allegedly Heitinga coached the defensive side of set pieces! I also don’t want Liverpool be reliant on scoring goals by set pieces. Liverpool are not winning the second balls in set pieces and regular play in general! Frankly, I don’t trust this coaching staff for improvement!

Call’s into question Richard Hughes ability. Equally Briggs accepted a job which was not within his wheel house

Briggs was partially to blame a set piece problems, but he is not a set piece coach. Slot thinks that an actual set piece coach is not needed and thought that he was genius again. He is definitely not! The set piece problems still falls under the head coach!

Reckon the best thing our collective set piece coaches could do now would be to review & change how we deal with 2nd ball & the immediate aftermath of initial contact. It’ll be fascinating to see what we change 👀

I guess it’s a sign of times but is LFC the first club to publicly fire their set piece coach mid season?
Briggs’ specialty was not in set pieces. He should returned to his original job.

I don't really follow what staff member does what day to day, but he helped us win No. 20 in a different role. Think he's been booted to clear the decks. It might help us psychologically reset, but he's not entirely to blame. #lfc

Got to feel for Briggs, who was originally brought in to work with players individually. LFC didn't anticipate the set-piece insanity this season would turn out to be.

Slot will have had some input — after all, as head coach he’s essentially Briggs’ line manager — but actual hiring/firing decisions don’t sit with him. And it’s not a PR win — at least not yet — and things might well get worse as I doubt spreading responsibility across everyone else is great!
Briggs was partly to blame but he was not hired to be the set piece coach. He should have returned to his original job.

Pretty sure they brought in someone before or shortly after the start of the season to do, if not exactly Briggs’ original role then something so similar as to make a return impractical/impossible

So Aaron Briggs has gone then… to be honest, it did seem like he was kind of stealing a living as a set piece coach given the evidence on the pitch… … would we actually be better at set pieces without a specialised coach of that nature? Can’t be any worse, can we?

If the set piece coach is responsible for designing and play calling our attacking set plays then I think there is a case to sack him. There is no excuse for us to be 18th for attacking set play XG when we have the highest team aerial win% in the PL. We have half the attacking set play xg of United
