Definitely
Front post, back post, penalty spot. 30 minutes, every training session. Put the targets up, and hit them consistently.
It's a madness we can't find a good left foot like Digne's in world football. McNeil can occasionally do wonders but it takes him a month to warm up and get it singing.
Arsenal gang up at the back post & run in to meet the corner - that was just plain stupid Oh we only tried it 11 times FGS even if the ball had bounced kindly out to a player to shoot we had a ten man wall to beat on the line ??????
In the times were you could get a direct free kick in the penalty area for obstruction 6-8 yards out the opposition put all the players on the line with the keeper in front of them - seldom did I see any team score from one .....
DM must know that it was in his era ??????

The deliveries were spot on actually.
Not one sailed over the area and not one failed to get past the 1st man.
Which we normally do.
The rest of your post is right.
9 v 5 actually
Its always baffles me this "ball not in play " rule
If Tarks smacks or elbows Yoro or McGuire he's getting a red card.
So why cant they give a penalty.
He's being manhandled / assaulted ( try that in the street ) you'll be charged.
But if thats Old Trafford and roles reversed i'd bet its give as a pen.

the 23/24 season we scored 12 goals, looking at the goals, we mixed it up,
Some came from balls whipped in high across the 6 yard box with our lads running in and jumping on to it
Some came from balls played in high to the near post and flicked on with our lads running in for the 2nd ball
Some came from balls played in high to the back post and played back across goal.
None of them have come from us putting 4 or 5 players on the line. I don't get why we have stopped doing that. With the players we have, we should be able to come up with a better corner routine than we did last night.

He is for Dave. We’ve not even bothered looking for another since the ‘hiring his neighbour for a laugh’ experiment failed.??????
He isn't the only other option

The culmination of 2 weeks worth of attacking preparation for the game. A mesmerising sight to behold.
How many corners do we think it would have taken for them to try something different?

I think you’ll find it’s just you who misses them mate.
I guess it doesn't matter what the pre-agreed tactics were if all our corners are like this...
Some real thickos in our side to be fair.
1. If something constantly isn't working, it doesn't matter what the manager has told you, try something new.
2. You think you're going to get the benefit of a doubt against Manchester United if you initiate a huge goal mouth shoving match? Even if we'd have somehow put one in it would have been ruled out.
Where was the leadership out there?
On that final point, Tarkowski had to take one for the team and wipe out Sesko. No idea why he didn't.
