It's been well documented that we had the most goals from set pieces this season. 19 in the end joint with West Brom (surprise surprise). This despite us bemoaning the quality of our corner delivery for what seems like forever.
Something that occurred to me during the game on Sunday was that for the middle half hour we had Dann, Hangeland, Jedinak, Chamakh and Murray all on the pitch at once (not to mention a giant keeper).
That should be a terrifying prospect for a team to try to defend corners and the ilk against - simply having enough defensive players who can match up to them is probably impossible for most teams.
In paper at least we should be at least as threatening as the old days of Thorn, Young etc.
