When was the last time we even remotely threatened from a corner? Let alone scored.

Oh yeahLast game ?
Yeah. We're horiffic. We might of scored last game but tell me when we scored before that?
We are generally shit a corners though. Feels like this type of thread pops up every week.
It does, @SuperiorXI We haven't scored from a direct corner with a towering header or something like that in a long time, I'm sure that's what you had in mindThe point stands!

Not sure how to measure this, but I never feel like we have even a chance when it goes out for a corner... it's almost deflating. I'd rather they kept it in.What are our actual stats on corners? ie. goals scored direct from a corner over the past 10 years?
It's not even close. This season alone we've conceded around 7 and not scored any (I dont think)What are the stats on our corners? I reckon we have conceded more than we have scored in the last couple of years? Shocking really

You know full well the point is ball into the box direct from the corner onto someone's head straight into the back of the net, none of this short corner or second phase nonesenseYou scored two v us (Villa game). Game was all of 14 days ago...

Well corner is awarded and ten seconds later cross comes and is headed in. I'd say that's scoring from a corner regardless of whether it's taken short or just hit straight into the box.You know full well the point is ball into the box direct from the corner onto someone's head straight into the back of the net, none of this short corner or second phase nonesense

Is it not classed as a set piece goal then, curious? Surely it's similar as when Scholes scored all those long range screamers from outside the box it was always described as Scholes scoring from a corner.In the context of this discussion you're wrong
I don't know what it's officially classed as all I know is in the context of this thread and those on the same subject previously the OP is referring to one ball into the box onto the head of someone straight from the corner flagIs it not classed as a set piece goal then, curious?

Fair enough. For what it's worth I dislike short corners. Much prefer inswinger whipped in to six yard box. Given the way Lindelof finished his goal I'm surprised he dosen't get on the end of corners more...well Man. United ones.I don't know what it's officially classed as all I know is in the context of this thread and those on the same subject previously the OP is referring to one ball into the box onto the head of someone straight from the corner flag
We've been crap at corners for as long as I've watched Man Utd, even when Beckham was here we didn't score many. In more recent years though we've had Jones, Shaw and now Fred all first choice takers so it's no wonder nowFair enough. For what it's worth I dislike short corners.

Maybe my mind's playing tricks but always thought Vidic was a beast on them although maybe scored more at the start of his time than towards end of his career.We've been crap at corners for as long as I've watched Man Utd, even when Beckham was here we didn't score many.

yep - and it’s mad how footy fans continue to go nuts every time their team wins one like they’ve won a last minute penalty.But seriously very few teams score from corners these days, don't have the stats to hand but it's embarrassingly low across the board considering the attacking team is suppose to have the advantage.
