I actually don’t know that stat.

Corners are the lowest percentage set piece to score from.
Especially when taken by two players (Foden and another a few yards apart) who can’t get it past the first defender or it’s ridiculously overhit …or it ends back with Eddie. We have been absolute crap at corners for years….
A big striker might be useful …….
 
Istanbul 2023. Mane has just been yellow carded for pulling a rubber mallet out his sock and assaulting KdB who sadly can't continue. 93rd minute. Clock is ticking. Pogba replaces Kev. From the free kick on the edge of the box Foden hits the wall. Walker picks it up just close to the half way line and sprays it to Grealish on the other side. He turns inside and runs at VvD who is back tracking into the box. Jack feints one way then the other before megging VvD and he is through on goal. His shot hits Alison in the face but drops for Foden who shoots but somehow Milner is back on the line and gets a foot on it. the ball is loose in the box. Pogba is first to it. Left foot shot into the roof of the net.

The bench goes wild. Carson is swinging Pep around his head like Aguero was his shirt in 9320. Klopps teeth fall out. Me and David Silva are doing the poznan. Kompany is leading the singing in the City end. Andy Morrison is in tears being hugged by Paul Dickov and Balotelli is handing out blue flares. Nedum dj's the after party and 2 days later when the last cigar has been smoked Khaldoon puts on his shades and quietly walks back to his office. He takes some mcfc letter headed paper, an envelope, a stamp and blue biro and writes

"Dear Sir Alex

Please find enclosed jelly and ice cream. The bouncy castle is being delivered by Hermes so God knows when you'll get it. Remember to not get to close to any candles you whiskey soaked, red nosed, wrinkly piece of crap.

Insallah

Khal MFing Doon"
Hahaha!!! Brilliant

Weghorst?

Did you notice we scored from one last weekend?
 
One from about 50,000
I think our centre backs aren’t great at scoring goals from corners. That’s when your stats improve. Not getting a beanpole striker to only influence the game from set pieces. If you want that, could I suggest you buy a season ticket at Turf Moor?

When Ake plays, we are much more of a threat from corners. It’s not just who takes them, it’s the players’ movements and desire too.

The margin between hitting the first man and over hitting the ball is much smaller than you think it is.
 
Which player in the starting Eleven will he replace ?

Rodri, Bernardo or KDB ?
Exactly this. Who are people thinking he could replace?

He'd be fine as a bench player to fill a homegrown spot and add more depth to our midfield - but no chance he accepts that role.

This signing won't happen - it doesn't make sense for CIty or for Pogba. Madrid need to revamp their midfield and he'll have a far easier time in that team with plenty of French team mates and easier matches through the season. Or he can go chill out in France for PSG.
