Corners

[Feed the Elk]

I'm sure I read a stat that last season we scored the highest number of goals from corners in the league, or have I dreamt it?

I think that's right. 14 IIRC. It'd take us about 2000 corners to get that at the moment.

So how the f have we gone from the best in the league to the worst?

Edited to add: Actually, I think it's because navas is getting more game time and therefore taking more corners. Shame

To be fair, Nasri takes most of our corners when fit...he's shite at them too

And didn't Silva go through a spell of taking particularly shit corners a few weeks ago?

Just checked, we did score most last season from corners but it was 13 not 14.

Yesterday we played arsenal, has no one at our club been watching them at all this season? They zonal defend every corner which means ALL their players were in or around the 6 yard box.
What we needed to do rather than lumping it in the midst of 11 of their men was play it to the edge of the box where there were 2 or 3 of our players unmarked, who could at least have had a pop.

We might as well just give the opposition a goal kick and cut our losses.

What you mean our vast team of video analysts didn't spot this? you'll be telling me they can't figure out how many goals it will take to win a group next! Or a team of medics with the latest methods can't stop us getting a thousand soft tissue injuries every fucking season!! How about a bloke with a notepad a pen go and watch the opposition for a few games prior to playing them?

Seems to me when you make a simple game complicated you make more problems for yourself. By the way you are spot on mate! Want a job?

Because MDM is not flicking them on like he did on a regular basis last season
