Six goals have been scored and nine goals conceded from set-pieces this season
I read an article in The Sun today that said that Maguire helped Hoyrum to a 2-1 win over Villa and scored a goal for Hojrum, which was a long time ago, he kept looking for Maguire's header, he kept looking for Maguire's header, he kept looking for Maguire's position in front of the box and then gave Hojrum a chance to shoot.
Meanwhile, Opta's latest stats are: Manchester United scored one goal from 67 corners and are 15th in the league; Arsenal finished with 16Four corners were the top in the league with one goal, while Arsenal and Manchester United were several times more efficient at goal. Corners are also set-pieces, so I went to check Manchester United's set-piece offensive and defensive statistics this season, and the results were very sad, Manchester United scored 6 goals in the league, in the middle and lower reaches of the league, ranked 13th.
United have conceded nine goals from set-pieces this season, the most in the league. Manchester United have been poor on set-pieces this season, with the majority of their nine goals coming early on, which was the main reason for the Reds' defeat.
On corners, Opta gives a more detailed explanation: this season, thanks to corners, Manchester ** has scored a total of 52 goals, while the average expected number of goals per goal is 006, i.e. only 6 out of 100 shots, so there is little threat to the goal. OPTA's decision may reflect the lack of headers for Manchester United, especially Maguire, and Casemiro, which has caused big problems in both attack and defence.
Arsenal have the most dangerous corners in the Premier League, scoring 16 goals from free-kicks, and their corner strategy is clear, with one man standing in front of the goalkeeper and preventing the goalkeeper from making the right judgment. In this way, the goalkeeper's vision will be obstructed, the goalkeeper's movement will be hindered, and in the Asian Cup, the Chinese team once scored a goal, but it was blown away, and Arsenal had a similar goal.
Manchester United have also tried this trick, many corners, Hojrum always try to block in front of the goalkeeper (not in front), but Manchester United's header chances are too slim, more than 50% of the positions are preempted by the opponent, there is no way to score on the first point, it is not so easy, the only thing they can do is to head the ball away, and then complete the shot on the second point.
That said, United are not short of high-ranking players. Maguire, McTominay, Varane, Casemiro, Hojrum are all in this range. However, Maguire and Raphael Varane are a pair of rivals, with Casemiro injured earlier in the season and Hojrum in a run-in period, so United have too few high balls in the box. If United are looking to attack from set-pieces, then perhaps Harry Maguire will return to his 11-man squad.
