Love our corner routine. Teams can't live with it.


The way teams will start getting round this is if the keeper seeks 'contact' and chucks himself to the ground.

The defenders also need to just ignore everything else and attack the ball. Our lot were too busy flapping around wondering where your players were going to go. Just watch the ball and get to it first.

Not easy though.

Yeah that's a tactic to try and prevent it. Keepers are notoriously overprotected.

I think we also might win some pens if defenders try to grab onto the likes of Gabriel or Saliba as they charge in.
 
Winning with scrappy goals is just as good as winning with ****pingers from 30 yards. Arguably better.

Yeah, I've said this before a few times on here. Sometimes winning with an injury time goal that deflects in off the arse of of a defender after a game of ping pong in the penalty area, can be infinitely more satisfying that blowing teams away 5-0

Even better if there's an element of controversy to it.
 
I like the ones where VAR checks 4 different aspects to rule goals out.

Checking ball was in play - passed
Checking for possible offside - passed
Checking for possible foul - passed
Checking Arteta is crying - passed
