Rather bizzarely, despite my catalogued criticism of how shit we are on corners........ Apparently we are joint top scorers from set pieces this season (iirc 24 goals) and the Gooners worst or joint worse conceeding 19 goals from set pieces.

TBF, I liked it when Phil took our corners the other week.

Where as normally I roll my eyes when I see KDB, Bernardo rock up at the corner flag.

Interesting

We get about 100 per game though.

It's a joke how bad we are when you look at our passers and laporte in the air.

Laportes shot was our best chance. Aside from when sterling let it him in the face instead of heading it..

Our corners are the worst in the world.
There are sunday league teams that better.

Incredible if you think under Bobby we were one of the best in the league.
I think Pep needs to understand you can have beautiful football, but also be really dangerous during set plays.

We had Dzeko then.
Its nuts whacking big balls into the box and nobody able to challenge. But we seem to default to it when things aren't working. If were going to persist with that we could do with a striker with a presence, it would give us another dimension.

Rumours about we may be trying to sign Kane.

He'd help with this massively.

The young Spaniard Ferran Torres appears to be good at whipping low crosses as far as I can see, and we're also apparently trying to sign him.

The fee will be insane to pay for a showing in 1 season.

Dortmund apparently have to pay Raiola 30m total and Haaland's dad was paid 15m.

That will be added into any fee, plus whatever ridiculous fee he wants as well.

Let's see, he was pretty much born a blue.

There is no way at 20 that agent and dad make €45M before any deal is done, utter bollocks that.
