yesHeard in commentary that we've scored more from set pieces in the league than anyone else this season.
Surprising given how many of our corners seem to get cut out by the first man.
Any one hear this?
The last few games Eriksen has been shocking with his delivery
Diets great run made that goal, but I can't stand our corner routines. Why we can't just bang it into the box for Toby and Dier ect to get a head on.Didn't he deliver a great corner for Dier's goal last week?

We get a shit load of corners, I'd expect us to be at or near the top in terms of goals scored, doesn't mean we're amazing at them.
People need to realize that the technique used to deliver a great corner leaves so little margin for error. Its funny cause for years we haven't really scored from corners, but whoever took them always made sure the ball landed somewhere in their box and we didn't really complain.
This season though we score a lot, yet we moan so much. Its just that in order to get enough pace and dip on the ball while still beating the first defender it often will fail.
I rather we score on 1/10 corners and hit the first defender 9/10 times instead of going back to scoring on 1/100 corners but making sure they always landed in the box.
Because its the Premier League not Hackney Marshes...
I've mentioned this before but basically I think his corners sometimes look shocking because we're targetting the near post so often. If he gets it slightly wrong it's going to hit the first man. If he clears the first man it may well lead to a very good chance for a goal as there's so much pace and whip on the ball. The stats mentioned here (i.e. we've scored more than anyone else from corners) suggest it's a good tactic. We didn't see much of it today as Southampton were putting loads of players in at the front post to cover the threat. This did seem to lead to a few decent back post crosses but with nobody there to take them unfortunately.
