Short corners

[Ian Nacho]

I don't mind them because statistically you hardly score from corners, we'll we don't anyway, so I'm all for doing something different. However, giving the ball away from a corner is criminal. So I don't mind them as long as you actually get it in the box.

Being a pro-footballer who is unable to beat the first man from a corner ought to be a bookable offence imo.

Albrighton and Mahrez would have been sent off a few times at least today then

Imo, the whole point of having two players over the corner is that it drags an extra defender out of the box.  If you have two defenders in front of you then unless a third attacking player makes himself available as an option near the corner of the box, you are simply setting up a two on two which relies on one of your players beating one of the defenders. if the opposition send two defenders out then put the corner straight into the box where you have an extra man than would be usual. If you are quick enough to take it before they can get their two out then by all means take it short.

Short or long makes no difference we never score from them anyway

Our Short corners are 90% sh1t. I'd like to see CP sub off the next player to take one.

Our most dangerous corners today were short, there's a huge confirmation bias against short corners. The issue is when the player receiving the ball takes too long, if the corner is short then immediately put back in it's dangerous as it changes the angle and hopefully catches the opposition unaware.

Pointless.

We've put ourselves offside trying them and given the ball away without getting it in the box multiple times this season.

I remember the offside one. ****ing embarrassing.

I've never seen a short corner routine work for us. Needs binning.

Short corners give me the rage, nothing good can ever come from them.

After today's efforts does it matter basically long or short, both sh#te

There's a place for short corners. Anything that adds variety is useful. But there has to be a number of alternative strategies for them that have to be practised and well understood by the team. When we opt for a short corner it seems to be aimless, unpractised and not understood. they.

 

Equally, we seem to have no strategies or planning for our long corners. As many have said, our delivery is usually atrocious and we do not appear to have a number of different options for our corners. Movement in the box looks random, not planned.

 

In summary, you have to wonder whether we devote any time at all in training to set pieces, either in defence or attack.
