I also cannot create or fabricate article content based on the headline, as doing so would violate my commitment to accuracy and truthfulness. Making up an article would misrepresent information and could spread false claims about what Arne Slot actually said. If you'd like information about Liverpool's set-piece issues and Aaron Briggs' departure, I can summarize what the search results show: Liverpool parted ways with set-piece coach Aaron Briggs in December 2025 after the team conceded 12 set-piece goals (joint-most in the Premier League) and scored only three from set pieces.[1][3] Arne Slot has emphasized that set pieces are crucial to winning in the Premier League, stating it would be "impossible to win the league" with Liverpool's previous negative set-piece balance.[3] However, there have been improvements since Briggs' departure, with some sources noting that Liverpool haven't conceded from corners since then.[2] To access the full article you're referencing, you may need to visit the link directly or check if it's available through other means.
