He does seem interested in using them. We did use them!So it appears we have two regular starters who are capable of them now. Robins doesn’t seem that interested in using them, and it doesn’t seem consistent with the rest of our playing style. But should we just use them anyway?
I just meant from his post-match interview!He does seem interested in using them. We did use them!
During which he sounded delighted about having a long throw weapon in his arsenal?I just meant from his post-match interview!
Not many, weren't used well. He looked more dangerous with them when he left us!How many goals we did score from Gunnarssons? Can only remember Scott Dann v Newcastle in the cup, any others?
Liberothrowesta?If it hasn’t got a cool Italian name like Trequartista I’m not interested
Didn't we use it twice, and one Thomas got a touch and hit the post / keeper saved front post. The other was headed out and we had a blocked shot I think?It's certainly worth using from time to time.
But Sunderland won the header every time we tried it didn't they?

One Reddit user analysed 115,199 corners taken in 11,234 matches to see how much use they were. From those, 1,459 goals were from a corner. This meant an average of 4.74 per cent of goals were scored in some way or another from corners, but just 1.27% of corners led directly to a goal.First one clearly caused problems for Sunderland.
People will say how many goals are scored from them but how many goals are scored from corners?

Problem being of course the new ruling is tantamount to "you get free fouls when defending set pieces".If we're going to use the long throw we need to get our tall players in the box. They create panic and pull defenders out of place. It's the luck of the draw on where the ball drops after a clearance as well as the chances you get.
IMAGINE THE CARNAGE AT KENILWORTH ROADIt’s so so so ugly to watch and I’ve slated every team that’s come to us and done it , so it’s a massive no from me
Do we have the big nasty bastards required to make the most of them? Or do you not really need them?
Personally I think it’s a bit anti-football, and I don’t see how it fits in with a short passing play-from-the-back mentality, but maybe I’m just being pretentious and you should just do it if it gets results.

We were the most direct team in the league last season…Do we have the big nasty bastards required to make the most of them? Or do you not really need them?

It is ugly B-F but sometimes you have to play to your strengths. There are times when you can't always play beautiful football and a long throw can relieve the pressure. Provided it's used sparingly but effectively I can go with it.It’s so so so ugly to watch and I’ve slated every team that’s come to us and done it , so it’s a massive no from me
