Whoever is coaching that into our players is very cruel. We have some of the worst set-pieces in the league. With the number of corners and free-kicks we get, we could rack up so many goals if we executed them properly—unlike the way we do now.

I don’t want to see KDB taking set-pieces again; those short passes are just a complete waste.
Ive always found it strange with Kevin that in open play his passes are laser guided but ask him to take a corner and it barely get airborne.
 
Im certain that it’s down to the fact that we are so vulnerable on counter attacks. I think we avoid crossing it in incase it goes straight into the keepers hands/headed out to an attacker at all costs. If I'm honest id much rather do what we’re doing although it is frustrating.

Whatever your personal opinions, it's a statistical fact across football that short corners lead to more goals than direct corners, so we're gonna keep taking them.

Short corners lead to 5% more goals than direct corners and 10% more shots on target

Arsenal might disagree. Not that I want us to copy their foul tactics.

Definitely with the players we have. If you have a couple of absolute beasts in the air then you will favour the normal corner.

Last season arsenal still took 25% of their corners short.

This season (As of mid-October) we were the second most effective team at corners only behind them.


The simple reality is you don't see the 94/100 corners that Arsenal don't score from on MOTD, so you have an overblown sense of how dangerous they are.
