Corners

[-V-]

We will never ever know the answer to that question. Only Rafa knows

[JohnDoe]

He wastes one or two corners every game just by curling it over the line. Annoys me greatly.

Eveyone else who's ever taken one for us has been **** too.

I'd have him in there though.Let Aquilani take them

[Lee]

McAllister was our last great corner taker

[squaddie]

Im also quite perplexed by this..... Proven by the header at wolves. Surely if Aurelio's on the pitch he's a better option?

or Kuyt, or Benayoun or judging by his recent crosses Insua.

[Joe King]

Glen Johnson!

Yep, been banging on about it for ages. Why oh why?!

My frustration is exacerbated by the corners we have to defend. We seem to end up in so much **** defending corners time and time again. Of course not only is that because we've been at sixes and sevens, but because the ball in has been top quality. Nearly every team we play deliver great balls into the box, and we don't even give ourselves the opportunity cos the ball never clears the ****ing first man or goes out of play before coming back in FFS.

Because he's captain and wants to take them.

He used to be **** at penalties too, but still insisted on taking them. Much better now mind.

No, I don't think it's Rafa's choice.

i do wish gerrard would leave the corners to a shorter player and go try and get on the end of it.

Rafa mentioned a few years ago that he identifies a group of players to take penalties, free kicks etc and then leaves it down to them decide on the pitch what happens.

I can't imagine Fabio taking corners has been Gerrard's choice though, it will be a pecking order thing to someone like him.

That and the fact we waste opportunities by playing it short.

[Shanks]

These threads seem to appear every few months.
Let's hope Rafa's sorted it come March.

Yep, it's absolutely bizarre.
