Let's talk about corners

I do wonder sometimes what they actually do in training.

Perhaps they work on perfecting a system that is the envy of the football World.
Or something like that...

Agreed. But as we comfortably top the corners “for” chart - it’s an ideal weapon for us particularly against stubborn teams who want pretty much everyone behind the ball in open play. For the quality ball players we have we should carry more of a threat.

100%
you think with the amount of corners city win it would be daft not to work on them in training

Wow how poor are we at corners do we actually practice them, our count to goals is shocking.

It doesn't help that the defenders do this with no action taken by the fair impartial refs

Seems we just pack the six yard box making sure the keeper doesn't get it.

I think we could definitely be more creative, Pep is the master at creativity so get working on it ;)

Didn't we used to play them short 8 times out of 10? Now it's the other way round.

Corners for us actually tend to be a. Bigger opportunity for the opposition and countering !

Very little creativity or variety,just lobbing it into the box hoping it lands on someone's head.

KDB took 12 TWELVE 12 against Chavs and tried the same thing every time.

We even waste a man by putting someone next to the taker !!

Short corners to open up the angles...near post flick on's...edge of box passes...deep far post knock backs.....etc etc.

It seems so obvious, it really is bemusing !!

I imagine the coaching isn't as dismissive nor as lazy as your post.
