Pep Guardiola - 2023/24

[Didsbury Dave]

I don't need stats to back up what is clear to the eye (corners are a weak point) . How other teams perform don't concern me.

People who don't know much about football always think that corners are more dangerous than they actually are. I've seen this point put forward on here for years and years and years, manager after manager, squad after squad.

So in conclusion I may quit getting excited when we win a corner.

You have to be capable of excitement in the first place in order to quit it.

Better delivery than our corners...

Get 3-4% excited

Always wondered what would happen if all the players line up out side the penalty area no one around the goalie? Would the team defending still be around the pen area protecting the goalie or would they be all marking the players outside the box? If so it means you'll get a run up to head or shoot at goal when the corner comes in!

Feel no one ever has rethought or think out the box when it comes to corners..

To me it feels like we defend corners better but don’t score like we did . We had a spell where our defenders were contributing a lot of goals from corners.

I am consistently surprised that referees turn a blind-eye to the constant holding of our players when corners are taken. If you have your arms around a player to stop them moving, it is surely a foul and, therefore, a penalty, yet they are rarely, if ever, given.

Agree but I'm not surprised.

I'm surprised that I am surprised, tbh.
