And stick someone on the fucking back post. Christ.

One of the most simple concepts in the game.

Did you leave anyone out?

Erm didn't mention Sig, Dempsey, Carrol, Defoe, Naughton but because they're not starters or tiny or both...

Is this a keeper thing or a manager thing? I can't see why you wouldn't have a man on each post during corners.

It would help if Verts and Dawson actually jumped and competed for the ball in the air from the corner kicks.it pisses me off big time.

I think he was getting at the fact that you feel we need 13 men in our team to defend corners... Should work...

What a great analysis. Depressingly familiar

Given AVB's apparent attention to detail, I'm completely lost as to how something that is done routinely at pub level is overlooked by him. And if not AVB, then the french number one goalkeeper should be pointing it out.

Don't concede any corners, problem solved.

Hmm just listing the taller players to illustrate that we have enough with various selections to put 4 or of the tallest in the right place and the next 2 on the posts...anyway

Spooky that an "opposing" fan can see the weaknesses so clearly...
And since Spurs are so relatively weak at defending corner I hope Andre decides to put a player guarding each post on corners. Funny, I can't remember a single player guarding the post has made a "save" while on the unguarded post however Spurs must have let in 4-5 goals.
By, as I've pointed out before, this is Andre's 1st full season in the EPL, so he's still going through a learning process. So, let's hope he is learning his lessons and taking note of his mistakes from this past season - and find solutions.

Has anyone seen us take any decent corners ourselves? We probably look quality at defending them in training as we've got no one to deliver a decent corner to practice defending against!
