Has there been a better dead ball specialist in the PL than Robert?... I can't think of one...

 

Beckham?

 

 

Not for me... Beckham quite often used to have quite a few attempts per game before registering... The famouse England v Greece one was iirc his 13th attempt that game!... Honestly don't remember Robert missing many when going for goal... His corners were great too...

Agreed, Robert was tremendous from a dead ball. Free kick at Liverpool was particularly impressive effort.

Wonder if there'll be a special section on how to take a s*** corner/crossed FK?

I'm sure people were talking about him being a set piece specialist (not just direct free kicks) when he joined, and if I remember right, his corners were pretty decent to start with. They seem to have deteriorated massively.

Surely it's gotta be an instruction, every corner we take regardless of who it's by is floated.

 

It's not even that, when it's not floated it hits the first man/floats far too far. Mind boggling frustrating. Taking a corner is arguably the easiest task in football. Say if we'd scored the average 4 or 5 goals from set pieces we'd not need to be looking over our shoulder currently.

 

All this French shit on/off field for Sunday, we're almost asking for a piss poor performance and a slack 1 goal defeat.

:thup: one of his free kicks yesterday was probably the worst I've seen in years, it was practically a daisy cutter.
