The converse is also true though (there's no use in delivering them well if there's no threat on the end of them). The taking of corners and free-kicks is a classic example of something which can be worked on in training, and should be IMO if there's really nobody else we can rely on to take them, which is disgraceful when you think about it.

how do you know corners aren't worked on in training...but with the blindfolds on.
 
I can't understand why taking a corner is regarded as some sort of talent that you either have or don't have.

Get one of the short arses in the team and make the fucker take 100 fuckin corners a day until he gets it right.

Spearing, for example, should be fucking brilliant at taking corners.

Rijkaard will sort it.

The best set piece taker at the club and he will be for a very long time so I'll just get it out there early is Shelvey. And I think when ever he is finally incorporated into the first team he will hopefully take over corners and free kicks. But as of now I would like to see Lucas take the corners. Him or Cole. We need to have at least 3 people in the box capable of scoring a header (Torres, Soto, and Gerrard) and Meireles lurking on the edge of the box.
 
Gary Mac used to take a sweet corner for us, with the likes of Hyppia, Henchoz,Heskey and Stevie himself piling in. If we had 3-4 imposing 6footers now, we'd see better results. At the moment, his corners have to be sensational for us to get anything out of them.
 
Meireles takes a decent corner. Gerrard should be in the box.

As for Soto's new dimension, its Sami's old dimension. Nobody did it better than him. Still its encouraging that the greek is standing up to be counted.
 
Alonso takes most corners and non-shooting free kicks for Real Madrid. He must be doing something right if he convinced Mourinho.
 
Indeed. At the very least he persuaded Mourinho he had something that good coaching could bring out of him. I refuse to believe the same couldn't be done with somebody other than Stevie in our current squad.
