Arsenal have been using a set piece strategy that have been shocking teams a lot lately and producing a lot of goals.
Arsenal Set Piece Strategy:
The Gunners won matches against Manchester United and a lot of other teams by using their set piece strategy. They either use this strategy from either corners or wide free kicks. **Arsenal**have been very good with their set pieces lately and have been using it very well too. Players like Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka have been very dynamic for the team and they have been sending very dangerous crosses in the opponent penalty area. They are getting way too difficult to defend against. Teams are being left to find a solution to defend their set piece strategy.
A Player who can improve their set pieces:
Arsenal can even improve their set piece strategy even more than this. They have not really been scoring a lot of goals in open play. However, their set pieces have been very perfect which are helping them to win more matches as well.

The Former coach of Gent, Hein Vanhaezebrouck said that Arsenal should try signing Maxim De Cuyper. He can be a great addition to the team for set pieces as well. The left back has been said to produce crosses which are very dangerous and pin point as well according to the former Gent coach. The Belgian plays for Club Brugge at the moment. Arsenal should look forward to add him to the team too. Hein Vanhaezebrouck even compared Maxim De Cuyper to the Belgian legend Frank Vercauteren.
Author’s opinion:
I think Arsenal have been way too good lately. They even defeated the new Ruben Amorim’s united just by using their set piece strategy as well. At the same time the former Gent manager is correct, Arsenal should really sign Maxim De Cuyper. After seeing his highlights, I think he will fit in the left back position for Arsenal very easily. Arsenal’s dynamic team will be of great use and he can give a lot of great pinpoint passes as well and crosses to the opponent half. If Arsenal wants to make their set piece strategy even better then they should sign Maxim De Cuyper.
