LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I wonder how many goals we'd score if we took 100 consecutive corners? Less than 10 I'd guess. Pardew and the coaching staff looked at our set pieces in the off season as they'd identified that we rarely score from them. We need to look again. Beating the first man would be a start!

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 corners are shocking and the free kicks are even worse. why do why keep hoofing it into the box when we never create anything from it? f***ing disgusting. can't believe pards doesn't see this. He does see it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19455573 Hmmm, Newcastle manager Alan Pardew is clearly a bit frustrated - to say the least - by his side's display in their draw with Aston Villa. "I can't say that we deserved to win and you could argue that Villa did," Pardew explained. "We were a bit funny today, we lacked discipline and our set-plays were awful. "It was a nightmare from a coaching point of view. We were better in the second half but they still had chances. Both managers probably walk away and think a point is fair but we won't come across many teams that will work as hard as Villa did." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I don't know, but at a guess I'd say there's less than one goal a week direct from corners in the Premier League. They aren't as likely to lead to a goal as people think. Hitting the first man I can sort of forgive, because for a corner to be dangerous it has to be whipped in just above the defenders head. The margin for error is pretty small. Would like us to be better obviously, hoping Saylor can start getting his head to things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMTW Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 3 corner takers and they all hit the first man. If I was our centre backs I wouldn't waste the effort getting up the pitch. We shouldn't play for corners. We have more chance getting on the ball from the oppositions goal kicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I normally can't stand short corners. But we need to start using them way more than we do at present. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 It's not just set pieces, it's crosses from open play as well. Fair enough you're not going to hit the target more often than not but our percentages seem low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 It's more frustrating when a very high percentage of corners hit the first man. Even more frustrating that no one thought of making sure the first man is wearing black and white. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwegianmagpie Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Whats happened to the corners of last season, when we played a low ball inn, for one of Ba and Cisse to jump over it, for the other one to get a free shot? Came close several times. Think last time we saw it was away at Chelsea last season, with Ba hitting the bar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know everything I say isn't to make some sort of wider point about how amazing everything connected to NUFC is. I was just wondering about how much we should expect to score from corners.

TRC Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I was going to make the exact same thread, awful. We have always had shit corner takers, even the good ones had general poor completion percentages. I don't understand how to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 That and we never try anything different. Never short or anything out of the ordinary. Remember the 2 headers Colo nearly scored with, they were brilliant corners. Pardew needs to sort it out, its not as if its only just started to happen. Its been like this since he joined. Hoping its not his limitations beginning to show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMcQuillan Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 We still seem to be using the 'lob it to central defender approach' which worked fine when we had S. Taylor, Williamson, Nolan and Carroll floating around. Now, it doesn't, and we haven't adapted. We need a new approach, simple as. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Don't understand how Cabaye, a technically gifted player, can fail to deliver a corner at a reasonable height. Every time I don't understand how any professional footballer can fail to beat the first man to the extent that seems to occur. It's baffling - I am sure I could do it when I used to play football, so why can't they? Am I missing something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
