Corners

[Deleted member 58678]

Atrocious!

Those two at the end are unforgivable!

Did anyone else not get irate when we didn't get that corner in the second half? We'd have done the square root of fuck all with it anyway.

I'm with you Jim..........look up three of four comments ^^^^^^

Says it all

Another 8 corners today with fuck all to show for them, anyone know how many corners it is since we last scored from one?

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

Is it me or do we only score from corners against United?

I can certainly remember at least four in the last three season?

Knocking on for 170 I think.

Not to worry.. MP is working on this. We should have a goal from a corner within the next 10 years,

Thia was taken from an article about data analysis in football in 2013...

Manchester City’s data department analysed about 400 corners in several national leagues over seasons, and concluded that the most dangerous corner is the inswinger: the ball that swings in towards goal.

The data team took this finding to City’s manager Roberto Mancini, who had played football for many years, and his gut told him that the most dangerous corner was the outswinger. But City’s outswingers kept on not producing goals. Mancini’s assistant David Platt came to chat to the data analysts, and they noticed that City had begun taking inswinging corners. Last season City scored 15 goals from corners, the most in the English Premier League. Vincent Kompany’s headed goal against Manchester United, which effectively clinched the championship for City, came from an inswinging corner.

They both need a kick up the arse for that short corner at the end .... I do prefer Milner's delivery to some of the other sh*t offerings we've had though, at least he puts pace on the ball and whips it in .... Oh and did I see I was f*cking lived with that short corner at the end!! ... I mean seriously ....brainless!!!!

I thought we'd got over this

But here we are again absolutely shite at corners

How much are they paid ffs?

Correction I just watched a replay of our corners... Make that 15 years.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Laughable.

 

[Armaan]

Wow we have reached a new level of shitness. Why not just let lampard take them when he's on ffs.

 

[J_Bow]

We're way past being able to fix our corners, it's a bad mix of shit corner + shit movement from our guys attacking the ball.

 

[CatMan]

Perhaps the most worrying thing about our lack of potency from corners and set pieces is that it directly proportional to our crap defending of corners and set plays against us!

In short, none of our players show any determination or awareness of any aerial situation, whilst our own delivery of crosses is woeful!

Clearly, and absolutely without any chance of being proven wrong, the evidence proves we never practise any corners or aerial set plays!

The fact that shit teams can build their whole attacking strategy and defensive game around aerial prowess, and get quite proficient at it in quick time, despite still having shite players conclusively proves it forms no part of our training philosophy.

Much like the "Who'll score the 100th goal" last season, who's gonna be the next player to score from a corner for us?

I imagine we'll have to suspend all betting on Bony pretty soon.

 

[SuperBlu]

Kolarov is our best corners kick taker.

Won't the ball have to reach him for him to score?
