Corners

[borassic]

How refreshing is it to see a corner beat the front man every time? By looking at the player movement yesterday it's obvious we've been working on them. For the 3 goals Vieira and Kompany ran to the front post and Adebayor just stood, Burnley couldn't cope with it. I'm glad we've taken time on them as set piece's are a great way to score goals when you're on the backfoot. Hope we continue in the same manner. On a side note, very very impressed with Vieria yesterday, i've tried distancing myself from getting straight on his back, mainly because I ain't a cnut.

Also helps with Johnson being in the team. He is great at set pieces and seems to find one of our players most of the time instead of the opponents. ;p

with adebayor, vieira, kompany and lescott (when fit) charging in coupled with johnson's sublime crossing ability, we should be f**king lethal.

Johnson has been a huge bonus.

We haven't had a quality corner taker since Joey left.

 

[not my fault!]

Good to see us now starting to be a threat at all set peices to be honest.

We scored from 3 corners yesterday.

Couldn't believe it. Surely that's more in 90 minutes than 2 full seasons? Surely?

We scored from 3 corners yesterday.

But as the song goes, "We never score from corners." Discuss.
