AlanSkÃrare Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Great upturn in form here recently, really contributes and has an impact on games now that he has more license to go forward. However, his corners are so rubbish it hurts my eyes. It's been a problem all season, but we've score ONE goal from a corner and hit the bar once or twice. Abysmal.

Not as bad as Hatem's Needs work yeah, we seem to want to do a lot of corners into the near post and too often wasted, rather than at least getting some pinball going in their box.

I thought his corners in the first few games were excellent. I remember saying thank fuck ryan taylor isn't on corners anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a relative lack of targets is an issue too - if Steven Taylor had stayed fit we would have scored a few more for sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I've always thought Jonas should take right footed inswinging corners. Everyone i've seen from him has been class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williamson's good in the air defensively and Ba and Cisse seem good with their head from open play but haven't seen much threat at a set-piece.

Tiresias Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 would like to see us take more short corners tbh This if we can't get into the box, pass it to ben arfa, he'll run it into the box, or do a great cross into it from closer in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 This if we can't get into the box, pass it to ben arfa, he'll run it into the box, beat 6 defenders, meg the keeper twice, make himself a light lunch of croissant and cold cuts and knock it in off both posts and crossbar with his left bollock. Slightly fixed that for you Have we even scored from a corner this season? Either directly or from the second ball? Our corner and free kick routines seem to be awful.

Hanshithispantz Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I'd also like to see us taking more adventurous corners/free kicks, Joey Barton occasionally did it last year and we came close a few times (Coloccini off the bar ). We seem too predictable this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonsays Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I read a stat that said that only about 2% of direct corners resulted in goals and that statistically you were much more like to score by taking it short and keeping possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I've always thought Jonas should take right footed inswinging corners. Everyone i've seen from him has been class. Yeah, Jonas' corners were decent last season. Think we should let him take a few in the next couple of games or so - might as well, I mean it's not like we've been a proper threat from corners this season.

Cajun Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Against Bolton it was like our training routine the week leading up to the game was based on kicking the ball perfectly into the keepers hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpal78 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Good lad Yohan, doing a little tapping up today were we? All our French players are underpaid but given commission when we get another Frenchie. It was HBA who got Cabaye and the cycle continues! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 http://www.football365.fr/etranger/angleterre/yohan-cabaye-revient-sur-bon-parcours-de-newcastle-et-vote-ben-arfa-838631.shtml Now people are saying Newcastle was the right choice because we're fourth or fifth in the table and we're going to play in Europe. People weren't saying that when I left. I knew it was the right choice because I was going to play.We've had a great season. There are still five games to go and we need to go out and get what we want and why not a Champions League place. It's the best league in the world for me. There are no easy games. The tempo is very high. I'm progressing and I've no regrets. Hatem often asks me things about what's going on within the French squad. He's working enormously hard.He's scoring important goals, beautiful goals. He's in form.I don't know if I can be objective when it comes to Hatem but he's playing great at the moment. I really hope he'll be in the 23 for Euro 2012. It's not my decision, but if it was I'd take him.

gbandit Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Nice work Yohan, keep it up. Hatem needs to go to the Euros, the tournament will be missing something without the chance of him pulling out more gerld play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
