this is my biggest pet peeve- professional players who cannot get the corner over the first defender. they should be able to do it in their sleep

Leighton Baines has been awful
"Everton's Leighton Baines is also failing all too often from corners. He has eight assists this season, but only a single one has come from a corner situation. In fact, he has a cross accuracy from corners into the box of less than 23 percent, and from the 61 corners he has taken, just five have led to goal-scoring opportunities"

Of Arsenal's 166 corners, I'm pretty sure about 130 have hit the first defender in the box. It's been bad.

Fewest corners won as well. Only aerial threat worth marking was Bony and now he's gone. None of our CBs are good at this skill either

City have been awful. I'm pretty sure those two goals happened before Labor Day.

Had 16 against Arsenal and I can't recall one that even seemed all that dangerous
