The Origins of the Set Piece Revolution
About this episode
The episode discusses the origins of the set piece revolution in soccer and its interaction with broader tactical trends.
Caley wrote a newsletter about the origins of the set piece revolution, whether it's all Mikel Arteta's fault, how teams actually score off throw-ins, and why set pieces didn't take over the game earlier. This pod talks through the newsletter and some of our theories of how the set piece side of the game is interacting with larger open play tactical trends.
