GUNNARSSON'S LONG THROW-INS...

They rarely work, and are becoming a waste of time.

I'm pretty sure the last time a long throw-in resulted in a goal for City was when Gestede scored his first league goal back in October. October!

Also - since when did 'drying' the ball with a wet towel ever work?

he has got a long throw....but just seems to be not long enough

Agreed.
It has been something I have been saying for the last 6 or 7 games.
It is just getting us anyway, and ends up with us usually losing the ball.
It is simply a waste and I don't understand why we keep using them.

We have nobody in the team to win the headers, we cant even get on the end of crosses (Apart from Miller today ).
The solution is to slam the ball in the area low and hard and hope the ball deflects off a few legs before someone just taps the ball in the net.
Take Bristol City away as an example

yea they do its going to the near post then we have to win a flick on but its a 50/50 in it

They are certainly a useful tool. Our equaliser in the Carling Cup final all started from his long throw that made the corners.

...but they might be a little more useful if we had a lump like Parkin in the box.

Disagree but I can see what your saying, we have looked threatening with them
