I don’t mind us “mixing it up” but it was quite clear after several of them we were terrible at short corners and just needed to whip it in
A lot of people around me moaning about the short corners, I don't get what everyone is moaning about tbh, we have never been prolific from corners. I like the inventiveness, this is how we play now so people need to get use to it cos it's not going to change.
Bald statistics aren't very valuable. Another statistic is that 1 in 10 goals came from a corner in the premier League over the last five years. Fulham were the best corner takers last year. They scored 10 goals by plonking it on mitrovichs head.Boils down to statistics.
Only 3.4% of direct corners result in a goal and just 7.5% result in an effort on goal. While statistically, a short corner results in a goal in 3.9% of the occasions they are taken, with over 9% resulting in a shot on goal.
We play enough boring passes as it is. Do we need any more? Everybody talks about the percentage of goals scored from corners. What is the percentage of goals scored from outside the box?Bald statistics aren't very valuable.

What counts as a short corner? If you play it to a man five yards away who then crosses is that a short corner? How many touches are you allowing? If you play a short corner all the way back to your keeper who then hoofs the ball upfield which you then score from does that count?
I can't stand short corners. So deflating to see the ball being passed back to the keeper.
We need a coach from American Football special teams.I felt right from our first corner it looked like something they’d practiced in training but looked lost because the opposition was stood in different positions…
mcgree and McNair just looked at each other like “what do we do again “
I’ve been saying for ages were terrible at corners what ever we do with them..
McNair was the one to try something different today but it was still poor…
Ayala under karanka was always a threat.I can't remember a time when we were good at corners. Even under Pulis and with Aden Flint we were underwhelming.
And I suppose when we lumped the ball in the box that improved our game? It hasn't over the last few years.It was because none of our short corner routines were any good.
Take Man City out of them stats and I think they may be slightly differentThat is a fair point. The stats related to 2019 in the Premier League and it didn't break down how they were used on a team by team basis.
