Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has confirmed the appointment of renowned throw-in coach Thomas Grønnemark as the club seeks an edge in set-piece situations. The Dane, who spent five years at Liverpool under Jürgen Klopp and has also been employed by Brentford, will work with the team to improve their throwing technique.

The move comes after Arsenal scored more goals from set-pieces than any other team in Europe's top-five leagues, but still have yet to score from a long throw-in. Arteta revealed that Declan Rice is working on developing this skill.

Grønnemark's appointment highlights the growing importance of set-piece situations in the Premier League. Statistics show that the number of long throw-ins per match – defined as a throw that travels 20 metres or more – have risen from 1.52 last season to 3.97, with Brentford's Michael Kayode being the most prolific.

Meanwhile, Everton manager David Moyes has defended the signing of Thierno Barry, who has struggled to make an impact in his first 17 games for the club. Moyes believes that Barry has the attributes to come good for Everton and has been working hard since joining the team.

Everton are looking to sign a striker and have inquired about a loan for Fenerbahce's Youssef En-Nesyri, who has several options.

In other news, Leeds United manager Marco Silva is wary of Dominic Calvert-Lewin's threat as his side prepares to host Fulham. Calvert-Lewin has scored eight goals in his last nine appearances and will come up against his old manager.

West Ham outcast James Ward-Prowse and Callum Wilson are also seeking new opportunities, with Nuno Espírito Santo admitting that the club needs to rebalance its squad through signings and releases.

Finally, Bournemouth's leaky defence is causing Andoni Iraola a headache, having conceded 29 goals in 10 away games this season.
 
OMG u guys r going 2 b so confused wen arsenal finally scores from a long throw-in lol jk but seriously tho mikel arteta just appointed thomas grønnemark as their new throwin coach & its like, genius move if u ask me 🤩 i mean arseneals been dominatin set piece situations 4eva & now they're gettin serious about that long throw-in skill Declan rice is workin on it & im so hyped to see them score a few more goals from it 🎯 meanwhile david moyes just defended thierno barry's signing lol like, what even is his game tho?
 
🤔 the fact that arsenal is gonna focus on throw-ins is kinda surprising, i mean it's not like they're struggling with other aspects of their game... but i guess you gotta innovate somehow 🤓 and it's cool that declan rice is working on developing his throwing technique 🎯 might just be the key to unlocking those long throws 🔓
 
I'm all for the teams just trying to score goals from anywhere on the pitch, you know? Like, who needs some boring old throw-in skill when you can just blast it downfield and hope for the best 🤷‍♂️. And another thing, why are managers getting so stressed about set-pieces? It's not like it's going to make or break their season. Declan Rice working on throwing long throws is just a waste of time if you ask me... 😒. And Everton signing Thierno Barry is just a money-saving move, what's wrong with giving the kid some quality playing time already? 🤑
 
I feel like both sides of set-piece situations are being overemphasized 🤔... Arsenal scoring more from set-pieces than anyone else in the top-five leagues and Everton's Barry not living up to expectations - it just feels like they're highlighting the opposite ends of the spectrum 🔄. What I'd love to see is a balanced approach, where teams work on their overall attacking and defending strategies rather than just focusing on one aspect 💡. Maybe we can learn from Brentford and other teams that have been successful with their throwing technique? 🤝
 
Ugh, I mean come on... have you seen the stats about long throw-ins? They're literally rising like crazy! Now that Grønnemark's on board, it's only a matter of time before Arsenal gets that one goal from a long throw-in and everyone will be all like "I told you so!" But seriously though, if Declan Rice is working hard to develop this skill, they should get it together ASAP. It's wild how much emphasis is being put on set-piece situations now...
 
idk why arsenal is getting all these set-piece coaches 🤔🏀 gotta focus on actual game tactics instead of tryin' to tweak their throws... declan rice should be workin' on more than just throw-ins lol 😂
 
🤔 Set-pieces are getting more important by the minute, feel me? Teams that can consistently get good stuff from throws and crosses are gonna be the ones dominating matches. Grønnemark's appointment at Arsenal is a great move, they're already doing well with set-pieces but a long throw-in could take 'em to the next level 🚀
 
So Arsenal thinks they can get an edge by hiring some Danish dude who's good at throwing the ball 🤯. I mean, it's not like they've been scoring more goals from set-pieces than anyone else already or anything... but hey, a little help never hurts, right? Declan Rice is working on it too, so fingers crossed he can finally get that one in 🤞.

But seriously, set-piece situations are becoming way more important in the Premier League. Those long throw-ins are getting longer and longer, and teams like Brentford are killing it with them. Maybe Arsenal just needs a little nudge in the right direction to start scoring from those tricky throws.

And then there's Everton, trying to get Thierno Barry back on track... good luck with that 😂. I don't think even Moyes can work his magic with this guy. And what's up with West Ham? James Ward-Prowse and Callum Wilson are like the ultimate outcasts right now 🤣.

Bournemouth's defense is just straight-up atrocious, though. 29 goals in 10 away games? That's just embarrassing 🙈.
 
I think it's crazy that Arsenal are so focused on their long throw-ins 🤯. Like, what's the point of trying to score from just one specific type of set-piece? It sounds like they're putting too much pressure on Declan Rice to develop this skill and it might be stressing him out 😬.

On the other hand, I'm glad to see teams like Brentford taking advantage of long throw-ins and scoring goals 🎯. Maybe Arsenal should just relax and let their players try different types of throws instead of focusing so much on just one thing 🤔.

And yeah, Everton's signing of Thierno Barry has been a disaster so far 😩. But at the same time, I don't think David Moyes is giving up on him yet. Maybe he's just being too optimistic about his abilities and it'll pay off eventually? 🤞
 
So Arsenal is gettin' serious about them throw-ins now? Like, they're recognizin' the importance of it, ya know? Grønnemark comin' on board is a good move, I think. They need somethin' to give 'em an edge, especially with Declan Rice workin' on his long throw skills.

But what's up with Everton signin' Thierno Barry and not gettin' the results they want? It's like they're tryin' to solve a puzzle without all the pieces. Moyes gotta trust the lad or somethin'.

And Leeds United vs Fulham is gonna be an interesting one, especially with Calvert-Lewin comin' up against his old gaffer Marco Silva. I'm keepin' an eye on that match, for sure. And West Ham's squad situation is gettin' a bit messy, innit? They need to sort that out quick before it affects the team's performance.

Lastly, Bournemouth's defence is lookin' like a sieve! 29 goals in 10 away games is just laughable. Andoni Iraola gotta find a way to shore up that backline ASAP.
 
I'm low-key obsessed w/ set-pieces rn 🤯 Arsenal's gonna be FIRE with Thomas Grønnemark on board! It's about time they cracked that long throw-in code 🎯 The stats are crazy, like, who knew throw-ins could be so clutch?! 🤔 I mean, Everton should've stuck w/ Barry, Moyes knows what's good 😂 And Calvert-Lewin is gonna take it to Silva's Leeds squad 🚨 Can't wait for West Ham to sort out that squad rebalance, Ward-Prowse & Wilson deserve a fresh start 💪
 
I'm still not sure what's going on with these Premier League teams and their set-piece strategies 🤔. Arsenal's got an expert coach to help 'em out and Everton's trying to figure out how to make Thierno Barry effective... meanwhile, West Ham's just kinda stuck 💔. And don't even get me started on Leeds United's defense - I swear, it's like they're just throwing (no pun intended) wingers at the problem 🙄. On a more positive note, Fenerbahce's Youssef En-Nesyri seems like a solid option for Everton... or at least that's what I've heard 🤷‍♂️. And Bournemouth's defense is just crazy - 29 goals in 10 away games?! That's just wild 🤯!
 
Man, set-pieces are like politics - everyone's got an opinion, but not everyone gets it right 🤔 Arsenal's move to hire Thomas Grønnemark is all about winning the 'set-piece lottery' and I love it! They're willing to take a chance on someone who might just give them the edge they need to outmaneuver their opponents.

But let's be real, Everton's signing of Thierno Barry is like throwing good money after bad 🤑 He's got talent, but he needs to prove himself in the Premier League. And if West Ham doesn't rebalance its squad soon, it'll be a case of 'too little, too late' ⏰

And have you noticed how all these teams are struggling with defending? It's like they're waiting for someone else to fill the gap 🚫 Bournemouth's leaky defence is like a mirror image of our current economic situation - everyone's feeling the pinch, but who's gonna fix it? 💸
 
Arteta's move to hire Grønnemark seems like an attempt to sway the power struggle between Arteta and his players 🤔. Is it a subtle nod to the growing influence of the coaching staff over the manager? Meanwhile, Liverpool's Klopp must be rubbing it in Arteta's face with their set-piece prowess under Grønnemark's guidance 🙄. And what does this say about the Premier League's evolving dynamics? Are we witnessing the emergence of 'specialists' who can outmaneuver opponents through tactical brilliance, or is it just a case of teams getting more desperate and hiring anyone with an expertise in set-pieces?
