  • Liverpool dismissed set-piece coach Aaron Briggs to address a persistent vulnerability, part of a broader backroom shake-up under manager Arne Slot.
  • Slot has publicly linked Liverpool’s underwhelming results to set-piece deficiencies, citing the team's negative balance as a top concern.
  • Liverpool’s set-piece woes are quantified this season, with 12 non-penalty set-piece goals conceded—the league's worst among the big five.
  • Briggs joined Liverpool in July 2024, initially as an individual development coach before taking on set-piece responsibilities, according to the new reference timeline.
  • The backroom reorganization means Briggs will not be immediately replaced; other coaches share his set-piece duties while a long-term plan is determined.
  • The decision arrives at the season’s midway point, with Liverpool sitting fourth and 10 points behind the leaders, amid a mix of results and expectations.
  • Liverpool’s defensive vulnerabilities on set-pieces have drawn public criticism from figures connected to the club, including reactions from club legend John Aldridge and Virgil van Dijk’s remarks.
  • The new reference emphasizes that the 2025-26 Premier League set-piece table shows Liverpool suffering a negative balance, reinforcing the rationale for the coaching verdict.
  • Repeated opposition threats from corners and free kicks—notable teams like Newcastle, Manchester United, and Wolves—have exploited Liverpool’s set-piece frailties this season.
  • Santiago Bueno and Ao Tanaka are highlighted as recent set-piece threats against Liverpool, illustrating ongoing external challenges to Liverpool’s defense from dead balls.
