I wonder what the hand up is about when taking a corner. We've always done it, even with KdB. Used to laugh at it when I went to games as it appeared to mean fuck all.

 

[M Gaudino]

missing edersons build up as for once opposition are pressing us

dangerous moments they seem to be getting through easily

That break of theirs though, thank god for Nunes, but stemmed from losing possession after yet another shite corner.

 

[homerdog]

Erl winning both those headers from corners, disappointed that nobody could finish it!

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

All the latest successful corner routines are in swingers. So we take out swingers.

Has Pearce done anything since coming in? Haven’t heard his name uttered once.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

That was as risky of a challenge as it gets

Least he was there to make it!!!!

Did Alex Scott play for Bristol City a few years ago? If it’s the same player I have always liked watching him when I have seen him play

 

[bridgeno1]

And Tierney on Var

Yikes

 

[OrigamiNinja]

You have to really question the benefit of us sending CBs forward for corners given the lack of return. Dias would be far more use on the halfway line, for the inevitable turnover of possession and subsequent quick break.

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

Twice Haaland wins it at the front post, twice no one gets there, zero scoring instincts and desire.

Haaland has been heading a lot better recently - I wonder why?

Everyone stand still.

That's correct

[stablemcfc]

Frantic and not sure we’re getting the better of it yet, but fun to watch.

 

[roach3]

(City are the only team to not score a set piece this season)

 

[heslops barnet]

Looks like we’re up for it today
