Set-piece problems: need work at Burnley

According to

Sports.

Background

Marc Guéhi, who plays for Manchester City against Burnmouth, scored the goal after remaining unmarked on a set-piece. Their success highlighted the weaknesses in Burnmouth's defence, which has been a problem for some time. Under new coach Marco Rose, Burnmouth need to strengthen their defensive strategies.

Why it matters

Burnemouth's weakness in set-piece defense forced them to concede 18 goals in the Premier League last season, the second most behind Liverpool. To solve this problem, new coach Marco Rose has appointed set-piece coach Nicolas Gagnon, who has worked for Canada at the World Cup. This change is important for Burnmouth as they look to strengthen their position in the Premier League.

The Etihad Stadium has not been a happy ground for Burnmouth, where they have lost all 10 Premier League visits so far, apart from one EFL Cup tie. But Sunday's game has been his most exciting yet. This time Burnmouth maintained the lead from the 26th minute to the 84th minute, but in the end two late goals became the reason for their defeat. The first City goal, however, will be of most concern. Marc Guéhi was unmarked for the second time at a corner and made no mistake this time after missing an earlier opportunity.

Some of the stronger elements of the team's play under former Bournemouth coach Andoni Irailo have also remained under new coach Marco Rose, but the weaknesses in set-piece defense have not gone away. Last season Bournemouth (18) conceded more goals in the Premier League than only Liverpool (20), although older supporters have joked that defending corners has been a problem for Bournemouth since the 1990s.

While Iraola took a number of support staff with him to Liverpool in the summer, Rose has recruited a new coaching staff for himself, including set-piece coach Nicolas Gagnon, who served in the same role for his country Canada at the World Cup. While assistant coach Shaun Cooper was handed set-piece responsibilities under Iraola and has now joined him at Anfield, Gagnon is the first man specifically appointed to the role at Bournemouth.

BBC Radio Solent summarizer Joe Partington hinted in the latest episode of Charizard Unpicked that the coaching staff could face difficulty in Saturday's game against an Everton team that had a significant height advantage when the two teams met last season. But before that, Cherries fans will be focusing on the news from Monaco on Friday afternoon, as their dream of European football is about to turn into reality when the Europa League league stage draw is made. Finally, it's time to take out the passport.

What will happen next

Burnmouth will need to work under Gagnon to improve their set-piece defence, so that they can perform better in the upcoming matches. In the next match, the team will have to focus on strategies to overcome its weaknesses and gain points. Competition is increasing in the Premier League, and Burnmouth will have to do everything they can to secure their position.
