I honestly can't remember the last time it happened in a competitive fixture. It's not like we lack height, Pogba, Matic, Maguire, Lindelof are all pretty big, and the latter two are pretty dangerous for their national teams.
For almost a decade it felt like we averaged between 5-10 goals a season from corners (Becks, then Vida) but now I'm not convinced we've scored one in 2 years.
This is something that can be coached, obviously, and yet feels to me like just another area where our 'elite' level backroom staff are not earning their wages.
Also, it worked with pens a million years ago, so why not
