ToggleThe Gunners have worked hard on increasing their threat from dead-ball situations. Jover is considered to have played a crucial role in making the north London outfit one of the best in the business when it comes to free-kick and corner routines.

Mikel Arteta’s side have scored 68 set-piece goals since Jover’s appointment in 2021 — the highest return in the Premier League. As fearsome as they are when attacking a corner or free-kick, the same cannot be said of their efforts when it comes to defending.
Crystal Palace further highlighted that fact during a 2-2 draw at Emirates Stadium, leading to ex-Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher saying on : “Arsenal have conceded six per cent of their goals from corners. That, would you believe, is the most in the top half of the Premier League.
“Only Manchester United are actually worse than Arsenal set-piece wise. When we make a big deal about the set piece coach, he's out of this world going forward but they've got a big problem defensively. Should we cut his wages in half?”
Carragher added: “It's been one of the stories of the season and rightly so, it's unbelievable. You think Arsenal are going to score a goal from every set piece… He's had a huge impact. But it's funny that on the flip-side of that, they're having problems themselves.”
