Half of them seem to be **** ones that are cleared, then put back in. I don't see how that counts, to be honest.
"Supposedly, we've scored more goals from corners" Set piece play. Not so great methinks if you just count corner kicks (as per your 'what if' ) .
Sqawkwa says: Goals from corners/Attempts from corners Tottenham Hotspur 10/73 Apparently,we've scored 3 goals from indirect free kicks and 2 from direct ones (Eriksen v Swansea?). Sunderland have more in both categories but we're in the top 5 for both? Doesn't make the majority seem better. Surely, we can do better?
The most telling part of that might be the 73 attempts. How many corners do we got per game? Seems to be loads. That we only manage a couple of chances in each game from that amount would suggest that we don't do enough from them.
"Doesn't make the majority seem better. Surely, we can do better?" Can ALWAYS do better. That is St Nicholson mentality.
Time for the lads to stay focused and get that goal difference up even higher. There's more goals to be had if we want them
Veretout replaced by Andre Green, who I must admit I've never heard of. The Frenchman wasn't too bad in the first half, for me.
