"YET AN OTHER CORNER WASTED"

Skrtel the only one with an eye for corners

In the 80s Liverpool had a bad time converting corners. Prompting a group of supporters to publish a Fanzine called YET AN OTHER CORNER WASTED . Well its about time we resurrected that publication . If the corner wasting was bad then its is positively chronic now . I am one of Kenny s biggest fans . But what is going on with corners . The games were we have the least amount of corners we score the most goals . We need to work on corners so much we have had an amazing amount of corners . Well to be exact 288 in all competitions we have converted 6 of them from 4 different goal scorers ' from 4 corner takers . Just not good enough . What is happening in training we are getting the corners in abundance but we might as well give the opposition the ball back

An article on this blog a few weeks back . Took a look at whether street footie games played on the streets of Liverpool stemmed from Melwood . The game sixty seconds is perfect training for corners. In the article it suggested it was the reason why Keegan and Toshack were so successful at corners and crosses .

 If so we must put these training procedures into practice . The so called smaller clubs in Prem cherish every corner 'the reason why their hit rate from corners is far better than Liverpools . The likes of Wolves QPR Bolton Wigan if they would have had 288 corners I am sure they would of converted more than 6 . We have to play to our strengths we are in the position to get corners showing our attacking prowess . So it has to be a training issue . Kenny was not the most prolific scorer from corners . So may be we need a corner coach if we have one already sack him the stats speak for themselves. Totally unacceptable
