Was watching the highlights of the Norway Greece game on Eurosport this evening. Yeah, I'm bored at the moment. And after watching England Russia yesterday, one thing struck me straight away. Corners. I was actually laughing out loud watching Gerrard waste corner after corner for England yesterday. Poor old England. They're getting the same service we've been getting all these past seasons. What gets me is why does Gerrard think he is actually any good at them? Surely after the 4th attempt to get past the first defender has failed, you must think, well actually it might be worth letting someone else have a go. And I might be more useful parked on the edge of the penalty area waiting for knock downs. But no, he has to take them.
What struck me about the Norway game was Riise. He actually takes all their in swinging corners. I don't actually recall him ever taking one for us, but I could be wrong. Although I was watching only highlights, out of the 4 corners he took, two nearly resulted in goals, one hit the cross bar direct, and the 4th ended with Carew scoring.
Time to share the responsibility around Stevie.
