corners !

When was the last time we scored from a corner ? How many corners since ? Would bet money percentage wise we are in the bottom ten percent for goals scored (if not there truly are some really bad teams about) .
 
What concerns me more is why none of the management are doing anything about it. We have been atrocious at corner taking for many seasons now. It's supposed to give you a goal-scoring opportunity and I cannot seriously remember the last time we scored from a corner.

Liverpool at home was the last one I can remember.
 
I can only conclude that Senor Pellegrini deems it unacceptable to score from corners unless it involves a near-post flick-on. A matter of principle, where only worked, rather than standard, corners are to be taken :-)

Cannot for the life of me understand why Navas was taking corners when we had Silva, Milner and Kolarov on the pitch.

Painful watching the succession of either piss weak efforts not clearing the front man, or floated outswingers to about 15 yards out

Silvas corners also woeful I'm afraid
 
Will never understand how a professional footballer can not get it past the first man. It's poor and shows a lack of ability.

Because they need to switch sides. In swingers are far more dangerous imo.
