Fuck of with all the social media videos and fannying about and just spend some time on set pieces at both ends of the park. We're shit at attacking and defending set pieces.

I've given up commenting on here about the corners situation, 3 probably 4 seasons ago now, we were leading scorers from corners in the whole league (by some considerable amount iirc).
Now teams are more than comfortable channelling our players and conceding corners because they are more confident about breaking themselves than us scoring from our own corner's!!
Beyond a joke.
As for penalty takers, an extra 10 minutes a day would not go a miss surely (excuse the pun).

Under Mancini we were the most dangerous team in the league when it came to set pieces. Statistically, not based on bollocks.
No other league team scored more than us in 2011-2012.
Now, we usually score 1-2 goals from set pieces in the whole season. Dreadful if you think we score almost + 150 goals/season under Pep.

And yet we have won more corners than any team in the PL this year, 208. If we only scored 5% that would be 10 goals from corners.

all comes back to the main point that i make in the finishing thread in that we’re not ruthless enough in front of goal. there is an expectation that we’ll score which means that chances, which are much rarer for other teams, don’t carry the same importance for us... because we create so many...
