Benitez taking Newcastle down...at least there is some joy in the world...even if it comes at an expense.
I reckon there's a good chance that most Premier League managers learnt along time ago that having 2 extra defenders marking attackers in the area results in conceding less goals from corners than by having 1 or 2 players on the post, hence why most don't do it anymore.
Given the amount of statistical analysis that goes on in the game these days i'd assume the above would be the reason for not having players on the post these days, rather then the fact that managers aren't learning.
Trying to think if we could get anybody from Newcastle for a cut price deal....
