I like the thinking about the corners, but not the execution. Plus it's mind-numbingly dull each time to see us appeal to the ref about the 10-yard encroachment....

When I think of great short corners I think Kenny Dalglish around 1980...either taking or receiving, not short or long corners but canny passes into the box, back or around the angle of the box.
We should be seeing some interesting variations. If not, it's reduced to just voluntarily trapping ourselves in a corner of the pitch. Corners come from something attacking or promising, we can't then turn that into diddly squat and an argument about what 10 yards is about 10 times a game.
