Don't understand why we don't take a curling corner kick instead of that cutting slow high trending balls which can't surprise anyone....It was so evident today it hurt. Curl the Fcker!

Dont think we are smart enough and its too predictable. You need constant movement and agression and we just seem to float the ball in and hope someone gets on it. I mean how many times does Carroll jump and head fresh air. Adam is mint at corners and they exploited this at Blackpool by dragging people around and twisting and turning in the area but we are just lazy with that kind of work and if not then hopeless  :D Honestly they drive me mad they do  :help

wonders will never cease. when was the last time we scored from two corners in one game?

interesting that adam didn't take the corners yesterday. bellamy does whip in an excellent set play though.

It proves the point that corners can be an opportunity to score a goal
Or two

19 corners-No goals
All down to Carroll?

Sorry I meant directly

Even with that, 18 corners and no goals is not something to be proud of is it?

it dont work like that, the gols still counts as "set play"
as set out by the FA.

no other passage of play before the goal

happens a lot to most teams mate. if the other team has worked out how you are taking them it gets very hard to get a goal from them.

our problem is that we stop mixing up how we take them, i think in that game we only tried to change it 3 times.
