""I don't know who's calling them 'Set Piece FC' -- I'm definitely not,""
""Arsenal are good at everything," Rosenior said. "They're a good team. It's not about taking the game back in time. You manage your 1% to be as good a team to win as many different ways as possible.""
""They're a team who are very good without the ball," added Rosenior, who was hired last week as a replacement for the departed Enzo Maresca. "They have a really, really clear idea in the way they want to play with the ball. And on top of that, they're very, very well organized with good delivery on set plays. That's what you want to be if you want to be successful.""
Liam Rosenior rejected the notion that Arsenal were "taking the game back in time" by focusing heavily on set plays, arguing teams must manage small margins and win in multiple ways. Arsenal lead the Premier League by six points and top their Champions League group with six wins, showing few weaknesses in pursuit of a trophy. Mikel Arteta has emphasized set-piece work, and Arsenal are especially dangerous on dead-ball situations with Gabriel Magalhães back fit. Rosenior described Arsenal as strong without the ball, well organized, and effective in set-piece delivery. Chelsea began Rosenior's tenure with a 5-1 FA Cup win over Charlton.
