MrMckee 3,424 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Honestly when was the last time we was a threat from corners? Had all that short comer rubbish with MW which never amounted to anything and now you just know they are gonna clear it when it comes Into the box Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JukeBoxJohn 3,060 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I genuinely think the last time we scored from a corner was Clint Hill away to Ross County at the beginning of last season. We've been brutal at set pieces for years and years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGovanIniesta 1,000 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 The thing is defending and attacking free kicks is just as important as crossing, defending and going for goal in open play, woefully underestimated by us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyCR1 1,505 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Was going to come on and start a thread about this, 15 corners or something and Hearts won every one of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKong 3 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 to be fair in this game Hearts are decent in the air... should have realised that though and not pumped every corner into Berra in the box Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 We lack height and physicality throughout the team. That's why we've struggled at set-pieces over the last two seasons. We need more physicality added to the team in the summer there's no question about it. Trooblue and BlueAvenger 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoopsLaud 4,186 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Have been banging on about this for nigh 3 years now. Brutal and unprofessional. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DariuszAdamczuk 548 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 For as long as I can remember we haven’t been any threat at corners Probably because we insist on pish out swinging crosses that almost never work Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cogsy69uk 61 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Something like 14 corners today, don't think we made the Hearts goalie work at any of them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lack physicality in our team imo. The men Vs boys last week wasn't just about ability. Height and strength played a big part too. Add those and suddenly our deliveries will seem that bit better as we will start to win some of those balls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely right - we lose too many physical battles in the midfield, ship goals from set-pieces, and pose little threat from our own corners. Time after time this season we have come up against teams with two or three tall, athletic guys in key positions, and we have struggled to cope with them.
