I came across a stat recently about how many goals mid-table teams score from set pieces compared to the top clubs. It’s fascinating to see that teams like Brentford and Bournemouth really focus on this aspect. They’ve turned set pieces into a proper weapon, often catching opponents off guard. It’s like they’ve crafted an identity around being clever and effective, which I find way more interesting than just relying on star players to bail you out. It’s proof that with smart tactics and a clear plan, you can really compete without needing a massive budget.
