Corners we are absolutely s***e at because we obviously don't practice them much at all. Conversely, under Pulis and Fat Sam we were mustard. No surprise that those managers worked on them in training. Corners are overrated. [Link] "It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

No surprise that those managers worked on them in training. A little contradictory. Allardyce ..Cabaye, Townsend, Puncheon, McArthur possibly a few. Pulis ..Bolasie, Ward and Puncheon. Cabaye and Puncheon were always good especially Puncheon with freekicks. Players are either confident with set pieces or they are not, cannot practice pressure of games.

[Link] It's a lot easier to defend a Corner than a free kick, where the taker is just having a shot. Whereas with a corner he has to pick out a player. And if an attacker can get to it to shoot, so can a defender to clear. "It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

Most interesting stat there is that no less then 12 clubs of that table have been relegated in that relative short space of time. Several have ended up in League one. Take away the "top 6" and think about it when you talk ambition. Just saying..... Originally posted by chris123 Why should a corner be any different from a free kick 25 yards out?
