When did we last score from one?

When did we last concede from one?

Why do we get caught out with short corners so often?

Holt's goal v Fulham was from a corner.

And was Yaya Toure's goal at VP the last one conceded? Was Dzeko's later that game from a corner?

At one point under MoN, we were the dead ball specialists of the prem. Now?

Nobody make s a run to the near post. Ever. The opposition know thay don;t have to bother with defending the possibility, as we will loft it to the big man who is standing dead central and patiently waiting for it to drop on his noggin. The big man may as well sway back and forth building up neck strength.

Nobody stand on the goalkeeper's toes and twists his scrotum whispering sweet nothings in his ear.

Nobody make an early run or a late run or any sort of run.

When all is said and done, nobody does anything, and it is a waste of everybody's time.

Short corners - no
Corners to the near corner of the penalty area - no
Corners whipped in near post - no
Corners to the edge of the box - no

Corners gently floated in, even when Benteke isn't playing - 99% of the time...

I think there was a near post corner which looked like a throwback to SGT mk1 on Saturday in the 1st half.

Baker made the near post run at the weekend in fairness. He did however, rather than get the mayhem causing flick, square on full bloodied nut the ball straight out of play towards the corner flag. A true skill that one.

Throws and corners. Dread them!

Now that we don't leave anyone upfield when defending a corner we've conceded hardly any cornalties all season

Another element of the overall game where we are shite. What the shell DO they work on in training?

I must admit that the pointing is pretty impressive.

Weimann provided a great example on Saturday, following a Southampton player for about 30 yards with a sustained point...

Whatever happened to having one arm up in the air before you take the corner? I miss it.

Can you send a couple of them over here then.

My garden wall's in a terrible state after last winter.
