[Albion] Two players taking the same corner?

[macbeth]

What's that all about then? definitely looks like something new off the training ground, but I can't really see how it creates any confusion or gives us an advantage. Just seems like a waste of a man to me

just get it in the box ffs!

It’s created a lot of confusion here, so defo works.

 

[Badger Boy]

Visionary tactics.

 

[macbeth]

Opposition players don't know whether it's going to be inswinging or outswinging.

Worth a go, seeing as all our other corners have been shite all season.

that's true. Doesn't seem like MUCH of an advantage to me, but then again it's a game of fine margins. And we have looked more threatening from set pieces tonight than we have in a g e s

Also drags another player out of the box to stop the short corner. Trossard / March aren’t going to be much use in the box so can understand the thought process behind it

 

[albionalbino]

or short corner with an overlap... Barcelona style.

Does anyone remember when 4/5 players used to line up for the conga before corners/free kicks?

Does it make that much of a difference, it's not really the same as free kick where the keeper has the cover the whole goal, you've got a penalty area full of players and much longer to react

 

[The Fits]

Imagine actually practicing this in training. Imagine being a player and being told this was a new tactic....

 

[Pevenseagull]

probably caught Ryan out in training a few times

Enough of a confusion, that a thread has been started, so we can all guess why two for a corner.
I'm bemused by it all TBH : shrug:

 

[Shooting Star]

Our grand plan to solve our impotence from corners? Have one less man attacking them. #potterball

Ironically, it did kind of work better! Or perhaps that was because Gross wasn't the one taking them and perpetually not beating the first man...

 

[The Fits]

Obviously the manager issue is very emotive and there seems to be very little balanced discussion. Either people want him out or want him in.
I'm Potter In still as I love the way we play at times, and I trust Ashworth and Bloom.
But, you have to ask the question, after the set piece conga nonsense, our inability to attack or defend set pieces, what on earth is that all about? Why even bother? Because it will have taken time in training. Why are we wasting time doing that?
And you can't say 'why not'? It's not a tactic. It's nonsense. Total nonsense.

 

[macbeth]

more to the point, does anyone else do it? has it been seen before? or is potter just a true visionary?

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Our best corners for a while today so I say keep it.

 

[StonehamPark]

Purely just to irritate the feck out of me.

For me claiming we cannot possibly do any worse than our recent corners and free-kicks, they've proven me wrong.

Two excellent chances created from corners today. What is Potter supposed to do? Head them in himself?

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

1 player = rubbish corners. Tonight 2 players = better corners. Next game 3 players taking corners? It might just work...

fancy wasting all that training time on that, i mean, it’s not as if we need to practice other aspects is it, say as an example trying to shoot on target or even perhaps getting the ball into the net.

Nah, let’s just f about with stupid things like our new masterful two people standing off the pitch for a corner.

Very true.

Today is not the day to criticise our corners. Created the most chances all season.
