Corners

[ninjamonkey]

People should really stop blaming the corner taker, these are professional players, they're perfectly capable of putting the ball into the box. It's the management that should be blamed, it's clear they are under instructions to put the ball to the near post. It's a horrendous decision to take corners like that, it'ss not even come close to working all season and i can't believe nobody, be it pellegrini himself, his coaches or even somebody like Kompany has said something in training

Yaya Toure's corner is headed at goal by Serge Aurier. His effort is pushed away by Robert Kidiaba, but Wilfried Kanon is at hand to cannon in the loose ball... with his knee.

It was a good one too, an outswinger with a bit of whip. Yaya's name has already come up in this thread and it certainly makes sense. United's free kick specialists (Shrek, RvP & Di Maria) all take corners and it seems the logical thing to do.

Has to be Yaya, the rest can't take them.

I thought Lampard took them at Chelski. Also when Kolerov does play why doesn't he take the corners?

Ah well 214 and counting since last time we scored from one!!

Anyone else got corner number 426 in the (next corner we score from) sweepstake?
I'm feeling confident!

We should nick the old Oldham song and sing 'Meat pie, sausage roll, come on City give us goal, oh shit we've got a corner'.

Yaya for corners as long as the players make the runs the ivory coast players did the other night!

Guarantee we score from a corner this weekend. Mangala to get it!

Was thinking about this the other day....I assume he doesnt take corners because of his height in the box. Suppose his height is moot when the ball gets nowhere near him time after time though.
