I would like to know who takes the majority of the corner kicks and free kickc/ Indirect free kicks for man City. Is it Martin Petrov or Gareth Barry?
Barry took most of the corners in games i've watched (but haven't been able to watch the last couple) but my guess Petrov would pop up then and again to provide something different.

It's been a problem for us.
A few years ago, we would get a goal off a set piece about every three/four games or so. Elano used to be pretty nice at corners for us. And prior to him Joey Barton whipped em in proper. But not since those guys have we had a corner taker that was really Mustard in my opinion.
I honestly reckon Elano was pretty cack at corners, the amount of time it would be overhit or barely make the first defender was astonishing.
Barton wasn't great either, but he did an ok job
I reckon the corners atm are working well, were getting a goal every couple of games which is what you want, and we are making the most of our opportunities (for once)

I'll tell you this...
I think We Suck Now.
We had 8 corners with our a sniff at goal.
I honestly think having a player RSC out there is pointless if we dont have a person that can take a dead ball and get it anywhere near a city head.
I mean he came from Blackburn that had Bentley and Pederson whipping balls in like Juninho, to come to City with Barry, Petrov, Bellamy et al all aiming for
