In fairness we won almost every header from corners and throws into the box yesterday, we were just utterly useless with them. Ake should have scored, Gosling should have scored. The only decent attempt on goal from a ball into the box was Wilson at his own goal forcing Begovic to make a brilliant save!

I’m going to stop getting excited when we get corners.

Talking of Liverpool.
Thomas Gronnemark was perhaps the most surprising arrival at Liverpool this season after a summer of big spending on the likes of Alisson, Fabinho and Naby Keita.
Even manager Jurgen Klopp admitted he had never heard of a throw-in coach before employing the Dane.
The appointment of the 42-year-old, who also holds the world record for the longest throw-in at 51.33m, raised eyebrows and was mocked by TV pundit Andy Gray.
"I know it is totally the weirdest job in the world," Gronnemark, who thinks he is the world's first throw-in specialist, told BBC Sport.
Former Stoke midfielder Rory Delap may be the best known exponent of the long throw-in in the Premier League era, but Gronnemark says his brief at Anfield is "not to turn Liverpool into the second Stoke".
As he explains, there is more than meets the eye to the humble throw-in and it's a skill that when mastered can lead to goals and even "save the life" of a team.

According to Opta, there have been just 20 goals scored from a "throw-in scenario" in the Premier League in the last five seasons and one scored so far in 2018-19.
