Son Heung-min and Enze Postecoglou might have been less disappointed at the end of the season if they had him. The genius behind their rivals' rise to prominence.

The most controversial aspect of Tottenham"s game is their set pieces. Spurs have had a problem with set pieces this season, conceding a lot of goals from them, and in the last North London derby against Arsenal, they conceded two goals from corners and were criticized for their set piece defense.

After the game, the set-piece debate was further fueled by conflicting opinions from head coach Enze Postecoglou and the squad, including captain Son Heung-min.

"If we thought that fixing set-pieces was the solution to bridge the gap, we would have put all our time and effort into it. But that's not what we're going to do," Postecoglou said, noting that it's not a priority right now.

Son Heung-min, on the other hand, added: "We needed to be stronger on set pieces. Everyone has to step up. We need to practice set pieces and move forward again with strength," he said, pointing out that the set piece issue needs to be resolved quickly. Teammate Dejan Kulusebski echoed Son's sentiments on the need to improve set-pieces.

While some have suggested that Harry Kane's absence has contributed to Tottenham's set-piece woes, others continue to argue that Postecoglou shouldn't leave the set-piece problem alone, even if it's not the most important issue at the moment.

Arguably, it was Arsenal's set-piece attack that shone through against Tottenham. All eyes were on coach Nicolas Jobber, who has sharpened Arsenal's set-piece game over the past few seasons.

"Arsenal's set-piece genius has transformed the threat of the English Premier League (EPL) title challengers," said Sky Sports in the U.K. on Tuesday.

Sky Sports said: 'Goals from dead-ball situations have been key to Arsenal's push for the EPL title. The scale of the team's improvement in this area since Jobber's arrival in 2021 has been immense. This season, Arsenal have scored 22 goals from set pieces, the most in the league. In contrast, they scored just six goals from set pieces in the season prior to Jobber's arrival," emphasizing the importance of a set-piece coach.

"They also conceded just six goals from set pieces. 'Jobber created routines with the players, high-quality passing and cunning play. These aspects all add up and his influence was significant, especially in attack," he said, noting the progress Arsenal have made since his arrival.

Arsenal's corner-kicking tactics were the talk of the town earlier this season, and Jobber's abilities were on full display after the win over Tottenham.

Tottenham are not without a set-piece coach. Ryan Mason is responsible for set-piece offense and 토토사이트 Mile Jedinak is responsible for set-piece defense. Both Mason and Yedinak have played in the EPL in the past, but neither of them are as specialized in set pieces as Yobber.

Unlike Tottenham, Arsenal hasn't invested in a set-piece specialist, and it's paying off. Even Son Heung-min and the players have noticed the difference, so it's time for Postecoglou to make a decision.
