A new Liverpool coach has been credited with sorting out Liverpool’s set-piece issues this season. Image Credits: Imago Images Liverpool’s season has effectively been split into two parts: before and after they fixed their set‑pieces.

But at home it was a different story: in a Premier League that Slot says has become “so much more about set pieces than it was last year”, Liverpool had scored just three and shipped 12 from those situations, a disastrous balance of -9. Set‑piece coach Aaron Briggs, who had been handed responsibility over dead‑ball routines, left his role around the turn of the year as Liverpool looked for a new direction.

Lewis Steel has reported that since Mahoney’s influence grew, Liverpool’s set‑piece balance has been much better. Slot still frames it as a collective effort, but inside the camp there is a clear understanding that Mahoney’s meticulous analysis and creative routines have quietly transformed one of Liverpool’s biggest weaknesses into a strength.
