is there such a thing as a corner coach?

We need to stop relying on corners and crosses as our only way of making chances - part of our game yes but not soley

We never really have someone who can put in decent through ball every now and then. It use to be Barmby then Gravesen and the supply stop after they left.
Arteta is great no doubt but almost all his assist were set plays.

We don't really play like that to be fair, we don't have a Marcus Bent or a Andy Johnson anymore. Strikers with genuine pace who run into space and make darting runs.

Yakubu, Saha and Jo all like the ball into feet, they can all run in behind but I wouldn't say that's there natural games.

No headless chickens, just talented players who like the ball to feet, its nowhere near the Everton Way.

We just need a decent football coach! and some one who can understand tactics.

Billy's corners were poor against Stoke too. Why has the job become his without proving himself first?

He took the corners in his first game and ended up with 3 assists, 1 from a corner.

I don't think our forwards don't have a clue how to anticipate through balls. Saha had such service at united and he didn't do too bad. Striker don't always need to sprint 20, 30 yards to make it work.
Some of our best goals came from defence splitting passes and I wish we can do it more often.

His corners in the first game ( except 1 ) were all good.
Not been so good since though.

I agree. We know he's got a sweet left foot though, and is one of the best crossers in the side atm. Since Baines and Osman have both tried corners before but never been particularly good, I can understand why Moyes would go to Bily with no Arteta or Pienaar in the side.
