I can’t remember Manchester United ever regularly scoring from a corner….So why do managers and coaches continue to send defenders up and leave the bare minimum amount of players often non defenders back?
Corners actually seem to provide a better chance for the opposition to break than the offensive team to score, see our goal on Sunday.
Personally I’m a fan of ‘old school’ attack v defend football but as the game becomes more and more micro analysed I do wonder if it will ever change to corners becoming more like throw ins. Teams attempting purely to keep possession and build a chance with more short corners being the norm and teams and players holding shape and possession……What is it about corners that makes it worth the risk?
