Set Pieces....

[sh249]

You do realise that we've scored the most goals in the league from set-pieces, right?

Totally agree with whoever said we've been conceding far too many dangerous free-kicks though, that bad habit needs eradicating sharpish.

Didn't know this, but doesn't surprise me. We've been pretty inventive with free-kicks this season, and our corners aren't too bad at all.

But how many of those set pieces are corners? Are we leading in scoring from corners? Certainly not from a percentage standpoint. We got a couple gifts vs AV who were utterly useless defending corners. We are getting a ton of corners every game and creating very few scoring chances from them let alone goals. I'd prefer we start taking a lot more short corners and at least keep possession.

Corners generally woeful.

David Silva should never take corners end of

Your wrong, our tactic is to put every corner near post. It's not the corner takes fault if they know what were doing.

Might sound stupid,but I'd agree with this...silva must of been told to go for near post....dunno why....no way on this earth would he be so consistent,getting it near post if he wasn't told to.

When Kolarov plays he usually attacks the near post this season.

Garcia had a great chance on Sunday but put a free header right into the keepers hands

Nasri's corners are much better than Silva's
