I am pretty sure in the commentary in the Sheffield Utd game it was mentioned we have not scored from a corner all season. Why is that ? We had plenty or corners against Sheffield United and a number for Olise seemed to target Birnie's head on the 6 yard box so he could head it clear.
We did try a few short corners which seemed more effective but still no goals.
It is clear we don't really have much of an aerial threat with our team as a whole. Lerma seems to have a good leap and Schlupp has run on to set piece crosses in the past and headed in goals but Guehi and Anderson don't seem much of a threat.

Hopefully any new manager will either have ideas of his own or the club will bring in a set piece coach - the current waste of attacking imagination & direction of corners, free kicks & throw ins (& the ability to defend them) is absolutely ridiculous for a club playing at this level.

NINE to be precise, that led to ZERO shots.

Clearly not a priority for Roy. This is where someone needs to intervene. Dougie/ Parish has to act if Roy won't. There are supposed to be analysts' meetings - that would show our stats are not only the worst in the league but also massively the worst in the league.
I've posted it before but it's also free kicks. I think it's maybe two goals all season (off the top of my head). For example on this, Ayew has won 69 free kicks. He's usually out wide and attacking. I believe from that 69 it's either one goal or none. None from 69 - I believe something like 1 in 10 is around what is expected. Something similar from corners. These aren't the exact statistics but they're not far off.
The only free kicks we threaten from are Eze or Olise taking a shot outside the area. That doesn't take any coaching - just a bit of practice.

What do you expect, when the goalkeeper coach is in charge of corners?

Andersen's against Man U from a free kick out wide if my memory is correct?

I actually said one as I remember one scored from our wide but not sure it was Ayew who was fouled. Regardless, we're nowhere near the expected goals on this. We're the worst in the division for sure but I heard someone mention we are actually the worst in the whole league. Whether that's true or not, I don't know. We can't be far off anyway.

It's fairly obvious - Hodgson and Lewington don't coach, or have any idea how to, coach set plays. If they did then we wouldn't be having this discussion.

I think 'give it to Wilf' changed to 'give it to Ebz/Olise' but beyond that, there's no real strategy for putting the ball into the back of the net or even moving it up the pitch.

 

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I agree. Fortunately they have chanced upon another string to their bow, Mateta has found the ability to hold the ball up. All pretty basic stuff, but every little helps.
