Taking Corner kicks

Sun Jan 19, 2014 11:42 am

If Whitts cant get the ball over the first defender, surely we should either change him taking the corners or put one of our players at the front to flick the ball on.
Who would you pick to take our corners?
Just frustrated the last few games with Whitts taking corners.

Eikrems delivery for the second goal yesterday was superb. Its a no brainer - he has to start instead of whitts who has been consistently poor recently. Not going to slag him off as he has been a major player for us, but I think he's out of his depth in the prem. Its the speed of thought as well as pace that he seems to be missing.

It seems as if Eikrem is Whitts replacement so he will probably be taking the set pieces from now on

it has amazed me that people have been going on about how we need whittingham in the team....yet as i pointed out his corner kicking has been piss poor on many he has taken,he needs a game or 2 on the bench.. :ayatollah:

I still think that Whitts corners are one of the best in the league at times. Eikrem gave a decent delivery to set up Campbell yesterday and Bellamy is good with corners also.

they look awful , but he is trying to hit a specific point,not as some think just chucking it in the mixer, im sure he can clear the 1st defender every single time if that was the criteria....its said by experts..often..he has one of the best deliveries in the game...do people really think he cannot do what reserve parks players can do?...............

Everyone has their day. I used to think the sun shone out of Maradona's and Cruyff's arses, but I wouldn't pick them today. We move on
