Leicester City have taken 52 corners without scoring, which is the worst in the Premier League.
The Foxes last goal from a corner was in December 2019 against Norwich, which was also an own goal.
our positioning around the 18 yard box when we are attacking is baffling, far too often the ball is headed out and we have no one to capitalise with a shot or cross back in.You can only assume we don't really practice either defending or attacking corners as both records are abysmal.
Someone always used to bang on (probably BN) about Stowell being in charge of them and he has consistently been here throughout our 'shit at corners' era so maybe something in it??
Johnny Evans always seemed to have a reasonable record from set pieces before he played for us but never looks a threat like everyone else.

Why the **** is Vardy defending corners? put him on the halfway line that means they need a minimum of tw defenders back and a midfielder covering.
Well, at least we are consistent.Sadly, Vardy is one of our best defenders at corners. It's remarkable how often he clears the ball.
We defend with that ****witteery half marking, half zonal shit at corners which basically stops our tallest defenders from defending. And we have a keeper that, with every year that passes, seems to be less able to come off his line.
When we 'attack' a set piece, most of the time the ball fails to get into any threatening zone. Maddison is absymal at his delivery but it's not really worth giving them to anyone else because there is no plan. Every corner we take looks like the first one we've ever had.
Under Shakespeare and Puel, Stowell was in charge of our corners at both ends. I can only think that he no longer is involved, not that he was any good at it. I just don't think anyone does anything on them at all. It's impossible to accept that any of it is trained into them.
We are the worst in the PL at defending them and the worst in the PL at the other end too.
