"It's not about throwing the ball long just to throw it long," Moyes says when discussing set-pieces. "It's about delivering it into the box with precision and timing."
The rise of long throws has been a notable trend in the Premier League this season, with an average of 3.85 long throws launched into the penalty box per game, compared to just 1.52 last season.
"I don't think teams are trying to avoid set-pieces at all," Moyes says. "They're getting better at defending them, but they also know how to score from them."
Moyes believes that set-pieces have always been an important part of the game and are not a new trend. However, he does acknowledge that teams are now more focused on capitalizing on these opportunities.
"It's about taking care of trying to do well at set-pieces," Moyes says. "I believe all the managers do that as well."
Moyes also notes that long throws have become more feared in recent years, thanks in part to the success of teams like Arsenal, who have mastered the art of delivering accurate and precise throws.
"I think getting more entries into the penalty box you feel is probably going to lead to more goals," Moyes says. "But we always knew that."
Despite the emphasis on set-pieces, Moyes believes that football will always evolve and that teams will continue to find new ways to win games.
"Football will always keep evolving," Moyes says. "I don't think it's one way or the other. Teams will still continue to play out from the back and I think they do."
However, Moyes also notes that experienced leaders on the pitch are becoming increasingly important in modern football.
"There's a certain type of player who knows the levels and the standards which constitute being good," Moyes says. "The levels you need to be at, the standards the players need to train at, standards expected on game day as well, whether it be from playing or discipline."
Moyes cites players like Granit Xhaka and Jordan Pickford as examples of this type of player.
"They're not just about individual brilliance," Moyes says. "They're about leadership, discipline and taking responsibility."
In terms of the January transfer market, Moyes believes that teams will be looking to strengthen their squads with experienced leaders who can take responsibility on the pitch.
"I think anybody would be really naive if they didn't think that all those attributes are part of it," Moyes says.

set pieces are literally becoming a thing in the premier league and moyes is like the ultimate expert 
he talks about how teams are getting better at defending them but also scoring from them, its like he's predicting this trend for years 
and those long throws from arsenal are giving me LIFE 
i mean what can you say to that? Moyes just gets it right every time 
. It's not just about lobbing the ball as far as possible, it's about precision and timing. Teams are actually getting better at defending them too! 
I love how experienced players like Granit Xhaka and Jordan Pickford are being recognized for their leadership skills - it's so true that they're not just about scoring goals or being flashy on the pitch 
. The January transfer market is going to be all about finding those leaders who can take responsibility and help their teams succeed 
Anyway, back to football... I think Moyes makes a point that teams are getting better at defending set-pieces, which is good for the game. But what if our teachers could apply some of those same defensive strategies in class? Maybe we could avoid all those essay questions by anticipating the exam format... just kidding! 
. I mean, long throws are becoming more popular because they're working for some teams like Arsenal 
. But Moyes is right, it's not just about throwing the ball long anymore, it's about precision and timing 
. And he's got a point that experienced leaders on the pitch are super important 
.
moyes is right, it's not about just throwing the ball long, it's about precision and timing. and let's be real, who doesn't love watching a well executed long throw 
? but seriously, the emphasis on set pieces is a good thing, it shows teams r taking their game more seriously 
and i think we can expect to see even more creative solutions 2 exploit opponents' weaknesses in the future 
. Bring on January transfer window! 
, whether it's from a set-piece or not.
. It's about evolving your strategy, not just throwing the ball long and hoping for the best. Teams need to be able to capitalize on these opportunities, but it's also important to defend them effectively.
. Experienced leaders on the pitch are crucial in modern football, players like Xhaka and Pickford show what it means to take responsibility on the pitch 
! It's so cool to see teams getting better at defending and scoring from them. I mean, who doesn't love a good long throw 
. I think it's awesome that teams are recognizing the importance of set-pieces and working on their strategies. Can't wait to see what happens in the rest of the season 
!
. People say teams are just trying to avoid losing free kicks but I think it's more about capitalizing on them now. Arsenal's long throws last season were insane 
The stats are insane! Average 3.85 long throws per game? That's crazy! 
. But at the end of the day, it's all about getting those entries into the box, right? It's like a party - if everyone's invited, then more goals are gonna happen 
️.
. But if you want to win, you need guys who can handle the pressure, lead by example, and keep the squad in line 
. It's just a bunch of teams throwing long balls everywhere, hoping someone will head them in 
Moyes is right, teams aren't avoiding set-pieces but getting better at defending them and scoring from them... its all about precision & timing now 
those teams like arsenal are killing it with their long throws and it's making defenders nervous 
My fave team Arsenal is killing it with their long throw tactics - they're like a well-oiled machine! 
That would be so cool! 
. Don't get me wrong, precision and timing are key, but it's still just a bunch of dudes kicking a ball into a box. 
. Teams need to stop relying on just signing one or two "leaders" and focus on building a well-rounded squad. It's not that hard, guys!
