charlie clown Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 Interesting little article here of an interview with our throw in coach, Thomas Gronnemark. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/sep/23/liverpool-throw-in-coach-thomas-gronnemark-klopp
Maharajkumar of Vizianagram Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 I remember his work being mentioned on a pre-match show, which was followed by an amused Tim Sherwood deriding the idea that any club needs a throw-in coach. If anyone would know what sort of coaching innovations a successful side needs, it'd be Sherwood of course.
Cobs Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 i'd much prefer we kept this sort of knowledge in house tbh i guess over time it leaks out anyway when players leave etc but it just seems like if we've gleaned an advantage over our opponents we should keep schtum about it for as long as poss

Come a long way from getting booked for time-wasting against City 'cos he was too indecisive with throw-ins in his first full season. And yeah that booking was s***e but it wasn't exactly the first time he'd taken an age over them that year,

charlie clown Posted September 24, 2020 Author Posted September 24, 2020 To be fair be doesn't give that much away in the article about what how the improvements are actually achieved. Talking about speed and range which is about 90% of what he mentions specifically about the throws themselves is hardly rocket science. Even Tim Sherwood could work that bit out.

Only explanation I can think of because it would have put Salah in on goal.

Only explanation I can think of because it would have put Salah in on goal. Expand I remember being a bit confused on that one - I thought the rule was that you couldn't be offside from throw but that maybe was there was an exception if you were coming back into play from a previously offside position which I think Mo was on that one. That makes no sense and I'm not sure if there is such a rule but it was the only thing I could think of at the time that could make any sense of the decision.

Expand I think him and Klopp are having a good chuckle cos what's he's done (and I can barely complete this sentence for laughing) is actually tell everyone all the info from the thoroughly debunked 2017 Throw In Manual "Getting You Moving With Both Feet Stuck On The Line". Just watch the hilarity ensue as our opponents throw the ball towards their colleagues' feet as opposed to having a 5 degree variance from their stronger foot.

Expand Suppose throwing it to one of their players could be a tactic though couldn't it when you think about it? Throw it to them, press them, win the ball back, you're attacking. No recollection of said incident though.

D.Boon Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 We still look ponderous at throw ins. What's the word Sion would use?
Maharajkumar of Vizianagram Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 It's cos they're pondering the perfect option.
