Liverpool recently scored another goal from an opposition corner. What can we learn? ### Why are they so proficient? - **Many players with above-average aerial prowess** in the deepest line — Allison (193cm), Konate (195cm), Van Dijk (195cm), Gravenberch (190cm). - **Forwards with bravery to contest high-risk duels** and 2nd balls — Salah, Jota, Diaz. - **Forwards comfortable carrying across the full pitch** — Salah, Jota, Diaz. - **Players stationed at edge of box** without man-marking duties — Salah and Diaz. This is not spontaneously replicable. The **XI** and its profiles determine which goals are possible and repeatable. The contrast: Manchester United's Antony (ducking from high-risk duels) versus Amad Diallo (contesting aggressively in the same position) makes the point clear. *(Visit the full article for the On Arne Slot section.)* --- ## Related - [[Arteta and Throw-ins]] - [[BB-wiki-1/Sports/Frameworks/More Non-Trivial Cues]] - [[Writing/Sports/anti-strategy]] - [[BB-wiki-1/Sports/Mechanics/Aerials]]
