His corners go straight to the keeper as well.
As frustrating as it has been this season with our set pieces, and I think Chris mentioned this earlier, but I can't recall a ton of great free kicks from anyone this season. That said, he needs to do some serious work if he's going to be the bloke taking them, but maybe the ball is playing some role.

At least that would make their keeper and/or defenders work a bit. Blazing them over 100% of the time is just an absolute waste of time and effort.

Right ok. Last 3 league games. Man City - Shot parried by Hart for Bent's goal. That changed the game. Wigan - Won and converted a penalty, which turned out to be the winning goal. Think that changed the game too. Man Utd - Great pass to release Downing in the build up to Bent's goal, and hit crossbar with stunning late strike. Not enough for you?
He's also very consistent at running into space, looking up to see an open player calling for the ball, ignoring them and finding two or three opposition to run into trouble with, falling over when tackled, waving his arms in the air like it's someone else's fault...

Don't forget the shoulders bent and the arms outstretched.
