Another wasted corner

This post is an offshoot of a post in RAWK and it is an issue which has been troubling me in recent times. How fucking bad are we on corners. We seem to get infinite number of corners in which we hardly trouble the goal keeper. And all the new fancy type of corner kicks we try in which we have two people near the corner flag and have them pass to each other a couple of times before crossing makes me even more pissed. How about some good old fashioned whipping the ball in the danger zone and flinging our bodies on the ball. IMO Pennant/Aurelio should be taking the corners and Stevie G should be in middle. I think with Stevie G in the middle with Crouch/Hyppia/Kuyt/Garcia we should get atleast one goal in three games out of corners.

We have no right footer who can take a corner kick. Danny Murphy was excellent at corners and free kick delivery.

Pennant? He should be able to considering his crossing ability with his right foot. If not, he needs to be told to start practising.

Why the fuck is Gerrard always taking them though? Alonso tooks great ones but he is off form so why not Aurillio. Mark my word he will score from a free kick against Chelsea or PSV the cunt is getting closer every time.

 

Why is Aurelio a cunt?

 

Its fucking irritating the amount of corners we waste, considering we have such a tall team. We dont put any pressure on the opposition with the short ones at all.

bring back gary mac :D

 

now he could put a corner on a sixpence.

 

it's a fair point though. look at chavski for example. terry and gallas scored 13 goals for them last season, the majority of which came from set pieces. i just don't see anybody in our side who's willing to attack the ball with the same authority.

 

gerrard shouldn't be taking them that's for sure. he should be in the box. if you don't believe me, just watch the video of the treble season when he scored 4-5 headers from set pieces.

I remember the fanzine called Another wasted corner, from around 13-14 years ago. And as that was a piss take on our poor corner taking, I'm guessing that its been about 13-14 years since we last scored from one. ;)

 

I remember phil neville scoring from one last year :))..Fowler against fulham ?? dont remember of that was a corner or not..outside of those two i cannot remember anything from the top of my head..

Still smarting from yesterday. the full horror has sank in with the worst to come tomorrow.

Fair dues - I'm not exactly looking forward to work either. Woe betide any kid who thinks I'll have a sense of humour about it. Colleagues I'll have to put up with, but kids will be taking major stick if they give any out.

Unfortunately I work on very large building site with no minors to bully. Feel sick thinking about it.

This thread is the most spot on one I have read for a long time. If there are any statos out there I am confident that the figures would show about 400 corners per 1.3 goals or some shit.

 

As a right back I used to get thoroughly bollocked for conceding an unnecessary corner. If we were playing Liverpool FC firsts it would have been, "Ah, fuck it, don't even bother putting anyone on the posts!"

 

We're shit at corners!

Danny Murphy was a shite dead ball player except on those occasions where he would score against United etc. He's invariably hit the first defender with his corners.
