Corners

[super_city_si]

We took one in swinging corner and Fernando should have scored from it.

When KDB is not playing, Kolarov should take them. Silva's corners are always rubbish. He just chips them in there. Kolarov, Toure and KDB are the best set-piece men, but you need Toure in the box for his height.

He's scored what, ONE header from a corner in all his time here? (Liverpool home, Mancini title season).

I think we could probably make do without his contribution tbh.

 

[pee dubya]

I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure our goalscoring record from corners is actually pretty good this season.

 

[Yaya_Tony]

We've been shit at corners for donkeys.

Delivery is OK most of the times. We just lack players committed enough to tussle, scrap and time their movement to power through and get on the end of them compared to the opposition defenders.

Yup. The amount of times over the past few seasons I've watched us gift the ball to an easy clearance, mate I need more fingers to count them.

is that the same Toure that constantly loses headers against opposition when he has a massive height advantage?

Because Toure likes putting his head in? He has height but is one of the worst headers of a ball.

 

[Stoned Rose]

It was 1-1 from corners today, and theirs was a foul on MD after a goal kick should have been given.

Does nothing to change the fact we're totally inept at defending them mate.

Hard to judge as I don't recall ever seeing him actually head a ball.

Pep will sort all this shit out

 

[Barry Conlons wig]

Pep will sort all this shit out

fuck me he has to

 

[zandvoort blue]

Again....rubbish outswingers.
And add to the corners shit free kicks that should be played into the box just like Arsenal did today, instead of tippy tappy short passes.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Thought Sterling put in a few good ones today. Silva with his usual crap floaty ones that are usually dealt with.

 

[zandvoort blue]

They`re back to their worst today. 8 corners and not a threat from one. Everyone a wasted outswinger.

 

[The Chief]

Apart from Silva's late on (an inswinger) right into the mixer. Pisses me off. Bring on Pep.

 

[1961_vintage]

We need to turn one. And quickly.

 

[Goater=Legend]

We've been shit for years I expect to Pep to come in and just tell us to pass it instead.

I don't actually believe we practice them, shite in swinging and then a lack of movement in the box from the players. There's times when we have the knock on but then there's nobody in the 6 yard box to knock it in so what's the fucking point.

 

[trevorriley]

Would rather see us pass the ball... We are not the right sort of team to go for 50-50 balls in the box... Same as goal kicks booted up to the half way line, pep will stop all the 50-50 balls

 

[Gabriel]

For all the gripes about the delivery, there are other problems, too. For one thing, there is also a surprising lack of movement in the box from the players waiting; everyone is static and doing precious little to evade a marker. Secondly, Aguero frequently peels to the back of the box, unmarked, so why not aim a corner in that direction?
