Predominantly it’s set in Minnesota, until the very end where they go to Fargo.

Well, she's from Brainerd, which is sort of inbetween the two and not even on the interstate.
It’s right in the middle of Minnesota mate.
Yeah just commenting on how out of the way it is relative to driving the most direct route between Minneapolis and Fargo.
Yeah I know but that’s irrelevant
The overarching point is that the film is predominantly based in Minnesota

Well, yeah, Fargo is a border town.
We need a new set piece coach. Does Brighton have one?
Half of Somalia seems to live there now
I’m curious, tell me more about this.
Annnndddd he’s gone. I will miss those memorable set pieces we had under him.
Why? Our set pieces are dreadful, have been for a long time.
Pretty sure he'd never be able to promote his MLS team to Championship.
Which is why we need a set piece coach
Evidence from all our set pieces suggests this guy was terrible. Corners don't get past the first man & we're not a threat at all. Corners and free kicks are just as likely to result in the other side attacking. It's one of the basics we just don't do
I also noted that Reguillon took part in a clever set piece free kick for his new club after he left United!

Not much a coach can do about poor delivery.
We did at least have more variation the last couple of years, with a decent amount of different short corner plays that resulted in goal attempts. When the delivery was good, we scored every now and then. McTominay etc. Not enough though. We also concede too many goals from set pieces.
We’ve also scored a few goals from especially left-sided free kicks taken by Shaw.
Ramsay was also responsible for individual development and first team coaching. Not sure how much imput he’s had on set pieces under EtH.
Would be nice if we recruited a proper set piece coach though. Could make a big difference.
Arsenal have scored 50 goals from set-pieces since their coach took over in July 2021. So they're averaging well over 15 per season in that time, I doubt we've even managed 15 across those 3 years. A top coach in this area has the potential to gain us a lot of extra points.
That's it. It's the fact that teams further down the league really try and use set pieces, and when teams get stuff at Old Trafford there's a sense of threat! I
Will we lose anything? As far as I know our set pieces have been total garbage. If thats the result of his coaching then we dont need it. Because surely there hasnt been a significant difference between with and without the coach. Its all about do your thing and insha allah.
I’d be careful.. Carrick and McKenna got a lot of stick during Ole managing us and then they got praised at there new clubs. It depends if he as a say in a lot at training, I’ve a feeling Ole over ruled the training sessions and just had Carrick and McKenna running them. Ramsey may do well at Minnesota.
It’s not like set pieces were the only thing he worked on.
As @DJ_21 said, who knows if he goes on to do well just like Carrick & McKenna. He was very highly rated when we got him from Chelsea.
Why Brighton? They're arguably the only team in the division consistently worse at them than us.
Has started well at Minnesota United. 4 points off of top spot in the Western Conference with 2 games in hand.
I am not suggesting we get him, just interesting to check up on another one of our "useless" coaching appointments with all the McKenna links.

Wasn't this guy hired as a set piece coach?
We will be up there for a youth soccer tournament and going to attend one of the matches for Minnesota United. Pretty impressive to see how well they have started under him! No big name players and squad either. So he’s getting them to play well as a unit.
Yes and we were terrible at set pieces during his entire stint at the club. Good for him though he seems to be doing alright in his first job as a manager.
We actually went from second worst in the league to one of the best in the league at defending set pieces during his time as set piece coach.
Don't let facts get in the way of things.
We've never had a dedicated set piece coach. He took them on as one of his responsibilities.
Interesting. I wasn’t aware of that, maybe I was a bit harsh and he deserves a bit more credit. As for the other half of his remit, attacking set pieces, how did he fare there?
Ole literally said he was in charge of set pieces in an interview when we signed him - I'm sure he did other stuff as well (it's not like we're always practising set pieces) but that was his specialty.
Yes. That, and "individual development," though I can't claim to know exactly what that means!
Sounds like he's doing well for himself in the US
So does he join carrick, mckenna and Rangnick in the list of coaches bad mouthed and gossiped about in the papers and here and somebody who maybe had a clue?
Will miss him, rip
You want to add ETH to that list…
