Corners

[BlueAnorak]

Everybody cheers when we get a corner but in reality only 3% are scored from.
That said back in 2011/12 we scored 15 goals from corners. This season it is 1 (so far).
Interestingly we scored 0 from the first 22 games in 2011/12 till an analyst persuaded Mancini to deliver inswinging corners and we then scored 15 at the back-end of the season including Kompany's decisive winner against Utd at home.

Surely we are getting close to Norris McWhirter showing up at the Etihad to give us our certificate.

Surely we would have more success sticking a man on the front post to flick it on? We cant beat the first man so lets be the first man

It's actually only 263 corners since Demichelis scored in the 83rd minute from City's 3rd and last corner in the Arsenal v City game at the Emirates back in September:

Amusing use of the word "only".

Pitch invasion when we score from a corner?

I think people stopped cheering for corners a good few games ago.

Might be worth a shot at a rolling maul.

I aim to please. :-)

I don't have updated stats but as of mid-January Atletico Madrid had scored a goal from every 7.5 corners (12 goals from 90 corners). They work hard on them in training, perhaps more so than other clubs. A little effort reaps rewards.

Now that would indeed be very funny :-)
