Outswinging Corners

Why do take outswinging corners, we never look like scoring from them. Love to know how many corners we have scored from

I brought this up after about 3 games, absolutely shocking that he won't change it, we have took the odd few inswinging and scored 1 in the derby. When we get a corner we always end up defending straight away due to these **** outswingers

This is really irritating me now. Our corners are appalling, inswingers are far more effective.

Also we need to play every game for the remainder of the season with a recognised striker even if it is Naismith. These faux strikers don't work.

Need a win on Wednesday to bring confidence for the cup match which is now massive.

I have no idea how outswinging corners are beneficial. I honestly cant remember the last time they scored from one directly.

They are the biggest waste of time, i'd rather we play short corners than out swingers, please just swing it in, put the keeper under pressure.

Absolutely agree with the above. Taking in-swinging corners is far more beneficial, means the ball is heading towards the goal instead of away from it meaning the attacker needs to generate less power. There'll probably be some stats somewhere saying in-swingers are better than out-swingers.

I respect RM, but he needs to change.

Nothing wrong with outswingers if you have players who can win a header from them.

We don't apart from Lukaku so its a complete waste of time trying them really.

This really, only Distin can get his head on them, just when he does he hasnt the first clue were the ball is going, its an are we are really poor in at the moment

Asbolutely agree with the OP. Plus take Baines off them full stop. Delufluff and Mirallas put in much better corners yet it's the Everton mentality that one player has to take them all the time ala Arteta.

Inswinger is so much more easy to guide the ball towards goal as the velocity and the direction of the ball is towards goal. Defender will also find it hard to defend as they need a clean and precise header to clear the danger. If we do an outswinger, the advantage will always on the side of the defence.

i'd rather see us play a short corner to create a favourable crossing angle than the hopeless out swinger.

Bloody hate them.

Done half the defenders' job for them already if it's going away from goal.

Ivo · February 9, 2014

Agreed, brought it up ages ago myself. Get an in swinger right on the keeper every time.

Don't think we've really got anyone who'll just power towards the ball and go KOFF!!! like Cahill and Ferguson did.

They all seem to wait for it to drop onto their head.
