so you think moving the ball on quickly is a bad thing?

Ex-Spurs Player Christian Eriksen

He's starting to come around. You can see he has more confidence. Showing flashes of the player we fell in love with.
I think having players like Son around him really helps it
Eriksen is fantastic. Ok, he isn't Modric, but that's a tough benchmark.
His freekicks and shots outside the area are sublime.

It's about consistency of delivery. Eriksen can put the ball on a pin anywhere he wants it. So, he gets corner duty as he can play the ball required for any given routine.
I'm not having a go at Christian here but most corners he takes are crap and I prefer Lamela's
Free kicks are another matter though
We complain because he hits the first man, but I think that's because that's actually the intention. If the first man misses that corner, then it's pretty easy for Toby or someone else to drive that into the net before anyone can react. It's a high risk/reward strategy, but we have scored more corners than anyone else in the league this year...
Lol, okay
3.5% of corners result in a goal!!!! They are utterly pointless things. Add to that figure there is also nearly a 0.5% chance of actually conceding a goal they really are the shitest thing in football.
So you think 3.5% is a good return, or a lie?
I just think it's stupid. Corners are obviously an opportunity and should be treated like so
On my savings it is?
What an amazing stat. Ive always wondered why I could always win a header on corners defending but but could never when attacking?

Tend to agree, although we all cant help getting excited when we win a corner. For some reason we all believe something gonna come of it.

Ah-haaaa, but there should be two graphs; one for inswinging, and another for outswinging surely??
If we're on the subjuct of shitest things in football, then a throw in for us from anywhere along from the corner-penalty box always results in the opposition getting the first header... you watch... i'd rather hand it to them and save ourselves the bother!
