Each corner Rashford took today seemed like he was on your user name.Lukaku has always taken free kicks especially at Everton and scored from them .
Radford has been taking corners for ages too
They were, unless our players had an ounce of sense and started crowding the keeper. It's got to be routed in the training ground.Rashford's cornes are just awful. God knows why he takes them.
Maybe but it ain't working and hasn't ever, why persist with it ?They were, unless our players had an ounce of sense and started crowding the keeper. It's got to be routed in the training ground.
This also bemuses me. General rule is you have you FK taker and give him a few chances he'll be hitting it sweetly by the end. This whole rodeo of FK takers helps no one.What happened to the best free kick taker taking all the free kicks? If the first one goes into the wall then you can adjust it on the next one.
The best set-piece taker should take all set-pieces. The constant chopping and changing is infuriating. No clear roles, no leadership on the pitch. Been the same wooly shit constantly since Fergie retires. Sums us up.What happened to the best free kick taker taking all the free kicks?

God knows, but this should all be sorted in training. If Rashford is assigned to corners, we know he swings them in close to the keeper everytime so we need a player standing on the keeper. It's so basic, even my Sunday league team sorts this sort of stuff out yet Manchester United waste 20 odd corners with the same mistake.Maybe but it ain't working and hasn't ever, why persist with it ?
Yeap.The best one today was finally changing it and Shaw takes a corner on 87 minutes. Decent ball, get a head to it.
Next one back to Rashy.
Lukaku eyeing up that FK in a great position was like expecting a first year medical student to suddenly perform advanced cardiac surgery.
Which begs the question, "what do we do during our training sessions" ?God knows, but this should all be sorted in training.

The free kicks were a joke apart from Pogba's effort as well.
You do wonder what the coaching staff are doing in training. Surely one of them should be saying “this player is our best corner taker Jose, he should probably be instructed to take them”.The best set-piece taker should take all set-pieces. The constant chopping and changing is infuriating. No clear roles, no leadership on the pitch. Been the same wooly shit constantly since Fergie retires. Sums us up.
I feel like I'm maybe venting at Mourinho as he's tipped me over the edge this last 2 weeks, but we really seem to be tactically all over the place in many areas right now.

The height of the team is wasted if the corner isnt good enough. Think about some of our tallest players like Matic, Lukaku and Pogba - How often do they ever get a chance to actually head a ball from a corner?Rashford on corners kind of makes sense given the height of his teammates.
Shaw taking the one good corner of the game suggests that he should be on that duty though.
Yep. It's just proof of zero system at even the most basic level.The best set-piece taker should take all set-pieces. The constant chopping and changing is infuriating. No clear roles, no leadership on the pitch. Been the same wooly shit constantly since Fergie retires. Sums us up.
Agreed, delivery is more critical on corners. The leadership buck stops with Mourinho looking at the general mess in our set pieces.The height of the team is wasted if the corner isnt good enough. Think about some of our tallest players like Matic, Lukaku and Pogba - How often do they ever get a chance to actually head a ball from a corner?
A braver coach might even get Pogba to take corners rather than being in the box. A good delivery is worth more than great height with a shit delivery.
And you would think it was something we were playing for, what with all the slow skyscrapers we put on the field who can’t get a ball out from under their feet.When's the last season we were consistently competent from set pieces? Fergie's last season? The Ronaldo era? Truly baffling how we don't seem to address the most basic issues.
