Corners

[tufty]

Do we ever win a header from one? Leicester, and every other team just head the corner away, and when they got a corner they win that one as well. What do we do in training? If we get a corner, we might as well just give them a goal kick and get back into position.

 

[BlueTG]

Yeah, in the 95th minute when were 2 goals down.

I look forward to our corners. Nothing fills my heart with more joy than seeing a ballooned out swinging corner drift over everyone and set up the opposition for a counter.

 

[Don Karleone]

Would be nice if we mixed it up a bit

 

[ID70]

Whatever happened to the in-swinging corner.

One of Kolorov's out swingers in the first half was stunning in its crapness. I didn't think it was possible to miss your target by that much.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Pellegrini clearly doesn't know that 'corners' exist in the game.

Look at the 2 they scored from today.

Absolutely disgraceful.

Exactly. A corner for every other team is an advantage. When we get a corner, it would be best for all to let them have a goal kick.

 

[Armaan]

Might as well just kindly pass it back to them from corners as we never bloody win one!

 

[Gabriel]

Cannot understand why more players don't attempt what Khazri did against us for Sunderland. Might not score, but the ball being that close to the goal, and moving that quickly, is sure to wreak havoc.

It was 1-1 from corners today, and theirs was a foul on MD after a goal kick should have been given.

I think there would be no adverse effect on our play were we to give our corners up for goal kicks, and the opposition could have all the throw-ins. It's just one long litany of surrendering possession. it's quite staggering that we have such a high possession percentage when you see most of the corners go whizzing out of the penalty area and most of our throw ins negated inside a few seconds.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

We should just belt it back to Joe Hart from a corner. At least we'd keep possession most of the time.

I thought that's what we were trying to do

Yes but why not cut out the middle man (i.e. the opposition)?

Stick one defender on each post, and neither goal goes in.... Simples!!

We should try it sometime, during matches.... Who knows it just might work

 

[lordloverocket]

Inswingers for fucks sake not rocket
Is it... Make the keeper do a little bit of work... Shite today no snap no leaders no work... Might as well have been the final
V wigwam.

Missing Nasri for his corners

 

[Marvin]

When KDB is not playing, Kolarov should take them. Silva's corners are always rubbish. He just chips them in there. Kolarov, Toure and KDB are the best set-piece men, but you need Toure in the box for his height.

I agree. At least do something fucking different from outswinging it like always
