Liverpool Part Ways with Set-Piece Coach Aaron Briggs Amid Defensive Woes
The club mutually parted ways with first-team set-piece coach Aaron Briggs on Tuesday, redistributing duties across Arne Slot's staff after shipping 12 non-penalty set-piece goals—the joint-most in the Premier League and worst in Europe's top leagues. They've scored just three, creating a league-worst minus-9 differential, highlighted by Wolves' corner goal in Saturday's 2-1 win. Slot called it a 'big problem' that could hurt top-four hopes, while fans debated if zonal marking or players share the blame more than the coach.
