10 Questions NUFC Fans Must Ask John Carver During Meeting
6. Why Can't The Magpies Score From Corners (And Set Pieces In General)?
Newcastle have managed to score just six goals from set pieces in the Premier League this season - the joint lowest in the entire division alongside Swansea. One penalty, one free-kick (in-direct) and four corners are all the Magpies have to show for their efforts from 34 matches. To be fair this is not really Carver's fault, as this was a major problem throughout the whole of Alan Pardew's tenure, but why hasn't it been sorted out? Why hasn't someone been brought in to help sort it out? And what is Carver doing to rectify this?
