Our best corner takers

HInchliffe was a great corner taker. He bulletted the ball over and you only had to let it hit yer 'ead! I saw him take a driven corner right onto Big Dunc's head and rocketed past Schmeichel! Yeah, EFC v The Rags. We were in the family enclosure at Goodison and we were right in line with delivery and header. Thing of beauty.
 
According to the Premier League we have had 131 corners the most in the league.

Comparison with current top 4.
City 131
Arsenal 101
Chelsea 93
Liverpool 87

Fwiw I don’t think we practice them they don’t look rehearsed. Can’t say I have ever seen any in training videos.
 
Nicolas Jover is Arsenals set piece coach and he joined Arsenal in 2021 from City. Since his arrival, Arsenal have scored 46 goals from corners the most in that time span of any PL club.

Another interesting stat is city have the highest no of short corners taken this season whereas Arsenal have the lowest no of short corners percentage. Arsenal hardly ever use the short corner whereas city very often.

Why do we not make any effort to stop rivals taking our staff? More importantly why do they want to leave the best club in the country for a rival? Are our wages shit compared to others?

The ‘holistic’ approach. If people want to leave we give them a cuddle and wave them off.
