I seen a video earlier of RB Leipzig scoring after 8 seconds from taking centre.
It was the exact same goal Brondby scored against us at ER. https://youtu.be/nX65nou50sQ
It catches an unprepared team off guard and you have a great chance of scoring with it. We should try it on Wednesday
It got me wondering though, why don't you see much of this kind of creativity in most games?
Would it not be worth us trying new creative routines? I reckon if they were clever enough theyd increase the conversion rate. Sick of seeing balls lumped into the box from a corner or free kick which are pretty much hit and hopes and 9 times out of 10 it's a wasted chance!

Creative set pieces

We scored a creative set piece a couple weeks back. McGinns deflected volley. Creative set pieces are hard to do when the other team have 9 or 10 men in the box defending them.

We were planning that move but you have now alerted the Jambos to it. Set pieces are huge for us at the moment as we seem devoid of ideas in open play. I would like to see some more rehearsed moves for corners and free kicks. We scored with the McGinn one but it is rare that we try it. Lots of set pieces in sports like Hockey, Rugby and American Football where teams are drilled in their roles. No idea why football seems to rely on putting a decent ball in and hoping for the best.

Amateur stuff. What you want is a long punt to no-one and a throw in to the opposition. That's how it's done.

Would this include how to take throw in's as we give the ball away more than any other team I can think off when it comes to taking shy's, no movement at all and even worse when most of them are on the right hand side of the park, why wait for D. Gray to move up to take a throw in just for the ball to go to the opposition, nothing new here as they have been crap at this for years now.
What was it old Shankley used to say if the other teams no got the baw then they cannie score, yet we just continue to gie them the baw from throw ins, mabe's we dont need to practice this part of the game.

I have my u10 teams in the states do "creative corners and free kicks" the kids love them and we have scored a good few goals from them.
Don't see why we can't see similar from Hibs

Now that we've signed Berbatov all free kicks and set pieces should be left to him.

We should be working hard on set pieces for the Hearts game. They don't look to clever defending them in my opinion.

We usually punt it out for a throw in to the opposition from the centre circle kick off. Never understood why we (and most teams) do that.
