Corners 15:50 - Aug 8 with 1279 viewstonydinning

Am I being naive in wondering how it is that professional footballers can't always get a good whipped cross in from corners every time?

Fraser seemed to have a hard time even getting the ball off the ground, all getting blocked at near post.

And the short corners were hopeless too, ending up pegged in the same corner area but without being able to make an unchallenged cross.

We won quite a few but did nothing with them

Not that we don’t need better corners, generally speaking whipping a fast flat ball into the right area is a trickyer skill than many give credit for and doesn’t always come off, even at champions league level. Pros could hang one up in the six yard box all day, sure, but they get dealt with. Trying to get the proper connection for a hard to defend corner is always a little bit of a roll of the dice.

From my view in the 2nd half he kept kicking the floor which was why he wasn’t getting the height on them.
Bit strange as he done it 2 or 3 time .

Must admit. There is a clip on twitter with a header going over... think it was Evan's?

Anyway. Fraser taking it... looked really uncomfortable kicking it. Really bizarre technique. Almost like he was in pain kicking it.

Never be afraid to share your thoughts.

That's the one. Of course probably just his technique. But almost looks like hes never taken one before lol.

Agree, but still better than Edward’s efforts!

Yeah they all looked scuffed like if you were kicking it wearing walking boots or something

It's a weird technique for sure, but probably something he has been taught to get whip on it. Not sure he looks in pain though.

If you look closely, I think it is the shadow of the ball which makes it look a bit odd. I was sitting near where he took that and a few other corners and noticed nothing odd about his technique. Admittedly he failed with two or three corners, but he put in more successful corners than non-successful, including one near the end of the game where Woolfenden should have scored.

The majority of all corners taken across all levels of professional football are ineffective.
