Corners

[Breaker]

Atrocious, may as well just give other team a goal kick so we don't get countered.

 

[pudge]

They're beyond laughable.

Even after Courtois flaps at a cross before the goal we don't pile them in on top of him, just at the first defender's knees

Infuriating. Never been so pissed off. A chance to whip the ball in the 6 yard box twice in the last few minutes but yet again fuck them up. Something's got to be changed, it's a joke.

We play so well today, how is it that I end up feeling so disappointed all because of 2 terrible corners in the last 5 minutes. I'm so furious right now.

Beggers belief how shit we are.

Any coach worth their salt would have sorted this out.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

In professional sport where everyone is seeking to maximise their advantages by way of "the aggregation of marginal gains" and "incremental improvements", it is utterly baffling that knowing we win a lot of corners and then deliver either a crisp bag in the wind or a pass to their first man, that we haven't apparently done a thing about it other than on that Inside City episode when they just lobbed it to unmarked players to volley in.

We should just kick our corners out for a goal kick and play on. More chance of us conceding from our corners than scoring.

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

Beyond frustrating

Should have had a corner in the second half .......linesman give it the other way. Wasn't even arsed as I knew it would have come to nothing anyway

 

[mancunianpear]

For a professional footballer at this level to consistently hit the first man is disgraceful. We don't even give ourselves a chance with our corners. This needs sorting ASAP. I get the impression the coaching staff aren't really bothered by this or even working on them as it should have been sorted a long time ago. We are passing up golden opportunities by neglecting our set pieces and corners. Prime example today, last 5 minutes, big men all up and what do we do? Short corner. If you ever get the chance watch how Atletico use their corners and how dangerous they are from them.

Demichelis was going ape at the short corner. What the fuck was going through Navas and Milners head was beyond me.



Eventually the pair of them will be replaced by others who are more suited to the type of football we play. And people will ask "Why didn't we do this before?"

 

[jimharri]

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.
