If that is true about baines, then i a really p***** off as this is part of his game. RM and his coaches should get Barkley, Baines, Mirallas or Mcgeady to practice corners and free kicks.

The best corners ive seen so far this season have been from Barkley, despite that crap one at the end of the hull match or Mcgeady but his are 50/50 either really wicked dipping ones that land in the 6 yard box or really crap ones that fly over everyone or hits the first man
Don't mind the fact we don't score many as can understand that it takes a lot of practice to make them a large part of the goals scored by a team. That time that is probably better spent concentrating on scoring from free play.
But what is concerning is they are becoming a liability with possesion regularly lost so the other team break with our CBs high up the pitch along with Baines who has delivered the kick.
We'd be far better accepting we are unlikely to score, keep the defenders back and just take the corner short.

Best corner this season was Garbutt against Wolfburg that Distin somehow managed to miss his header with. That was a Hinchcliffe style beauty!

We havent had anyone who can hit a good corner since Hinchcliffe. RM likes hiring old players as coaches, get him in teaching the lads how its done, we've even got Dunc there to get on the them and show the lads how to do that as well.
I think the last decent headed goal from a corner was Rom's in the derby last year. Was it Deulofeu who swung that one in?

true, he hit two brilliant corners in a row and then mirallas took over the corners for the rest of the game, strange that......

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...eat-Man-City-Toffees-set-pieces-let-down.html - i agree with everything said in this article. Im 100% behind martinez but this is basically an ego trip. I used to get so annoyed with arsenal fans around the invincibles year when they basically were unhappy with a goal that wasn't a "beautiful goal", and I think martinez is the same. He needs to sort it out immediately.

Big Dunc used to thrive on corners,and he's on the training staff ffs
'I do prefer open play goals, I'm not going to hide it. A goal from open play is a more satisfying goal.'
I'm not arsed what is more "satisfying", we just need ANY goals! He does my head in sometimes you know

Makes you wonder exactly how much influence he is or isn't having in training.

It's pretty much spot on. A goal is a goal.
It's fine to prefer scoring a goal from a skillful patient attacking move over a scrappy one bundled in from a corner.
But to actually not even bother trying to score from set pieces is completely and utterly ridiculous considering how many set pieces a team will get during a game.
