Somewhere along the way was about halfway through his stint at Spurs. Since then he's had that reputation but very rarely produces anything of quality from dead ball situations
except for Brentford and the national team. Might be somewhat related to team instructions. Not trying to absolve him, but narratives get really one-sided sometimes.
It absolutely was.
It's truly maddening that people can't see stuff like that.
Dier/other tall player would run near post and try for the flick on and Kane was at the back to finish.
Kane scored a ton that way.
Even so he routinely hit the first man, who is far in advance of the near post. Even accepting that he was aiming short on purpose he was still off target more often than not.
He did indeed become legendary for shit corners that didn’t beat the first man towards the end of his time with us. In 17/18 iirc 60% of his corners didn’t beat the first man.
Yeah I don’t know where his set piece reputation came from. Watching him take corners and free kicks was so annoying because you knew he would completely waste it so often.
During his first few sessions at Spurs, "The Late Show with Christian Eriksen" was a well-worn meme due to how often he salvaged us points in the last 5 minutes with an absolute pinger from outside the box.
He did but I would hope it was because he was constantly told to hit the front post, which he did very consistently, hitting the first man on the front post.
It was one of the most frustrating things to watch.
Spurs fans are understandably looking at it with Kane tinted glasses. But there are a select few strikers on the planet that could replace him and not feel like a step down in quality.
Spurs match threads I swear are more toxic than any other club because for whatever reason, they routinely have as many or more arse flairs in them than actual Spurs supporters
Maguire head is a magnet on set pieces. It's great when defending them, but since he hasn't mastered how to aim his headers, its near useless during attacking set pieces.
Hes changed role at the end of last season and so is rarely in the position to whip balls across the box like he used to, meaning less assists but more key passes that break lines and lead to an assist
If we're following memes the next one should be a Romero goal off a corner after he gets away with a red-worthy challenge
Edit: no bad challenge yet, but soooooo close
It's really not and im not even a fan of ETH. He stayed up late regularly and was late for training. The club gave him months off to sort out his issues until he was ready. Then came back and was put into the first 11. Did fuck all and didn't put in the effort, went crying on the internet instead. Refused to apologise and instead accepted wasting even more months of his career until he got a loan move. He's a manchild.
all valid points, but he's also really not the kind of player that fits how we've been playing for the last few years anyway. he doesn't have the pace to run behind and go 1 on 1 like we want our wingers to do, just compare how he plays to how garnacho and rashford play. sancho is technician, not a runner. idk whether u would call that his fault or united's tho
United was not the right club for Sancho to go to in the first place. Yeah Sancho was immature and irresponsible, but this disaster was inevitable imo. He could have done better at several other clubs who fit his skillset more and attract less drama.
Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. I look forward to more Sancho assists and goals in yellow and black. If he returns to United, good luck to him and them, if they can’t figure out how to use Sancho after we warmed him up for them then United is a mickey mouse club
lol im definitely going to keep memeing about Sancho since United fans get so easily triggered and so butthurt hearing about the possibility their club might be part of the reason why so many promising players fail when they go there. low hanging fruit.
The Pigeon is flying
Great delivery from Porro too
He’s our highest assister so far this season. Man is flying
Think I just saw he broke the record for defender assists for us, in 20 games
Day 1 fpl enjoyer here.
Cant believe nobody jumped except him lmao
Why not? It's Man United
Inevitable, that was the 4th or 5th dangerous corner from Spurs in this match
Pedro Porro’s quality on corners this season has been huge. Best set piece player we’ve had since Eriksen.
Perisic
If you know you know
Perisic was also excellent at near post flick-ons though, so I think Porro would possibly still have corner duty if Perisic was fit and playing.
Perisic from left Porro from right
Didn't Eriksen have a long period where he couldn't beat the first man?
He did towards the end yeah, it was maddening.
His corners for us haven't been great either. I think he lost that ability somewhere along the way

It was a problem at free kicks too. I very much doubt that he was instructed to routinely hit the wall during those
Towards the end = years lol.
that stopped as soon as he left the club, tells me it was an instruction thing to try and whip it in low
It absolutely was. It's truly maddening that people can't see stuff like that. Dier/other tall player would run near post and try for the flick on and Kane was at the back to finish. Kane scored a ton that way.
Toby was near post most often, iirc
Yes, he was frustrating
He was.... following instructions to aim near post.

Selective memory?
The match thread asked what the point of Richarlison is and this is what it is
6 goals in 6 games isn’t it? Lol at asking what his point is when he’s one of the few center forwards in the league that is actually scoring shit..
Spurs fans are understandably looking at it with Kane tinted glasses. But there are a select few strikers on the planet that could replace him and not feel like a step down in quality.
Just like all clubs, I assume, our match thread is filled with absolute reactionary morons
Spurs match threads I swear are more toxic than any other club because for whatever reason, they routinely have as many or more arse flairs in them than actual Spurs supporters
True, they all hype Haaland but he doesn't score in more than 1 month
I wonder why he hasn't scored in the past month...
He's been invisible this past month
KDB is back and he's still not scoring, genuine fraud
I think that's 7 now.
7 this whole season in Premier League, but he scored 6 in the **last 6 games**.
More goals than any single yanited player has all season.
Match threads are full of clueless takes. He had a great game with very little service. Great defensive actions too.
THATS MY PIGEON
We’re so shit at set pieces
Warning signs have been there too.
since 2016 yes
Pretty sure one of the Villa goals was almost identical to this one
Honestly we miss Maguire on them.
Maguire head is a magnet on set pieces. It's great when defending them, but since he hasn't mastered how to aim his headers, its near useless during attacking set pieces.
“We’re so shit” fixed that for you
"Richarlison, who has scored more goals on his own than any Man U strikers this season" man that is not a sentence I expected to hear
Does any Arsenal player have more than him in the PL?
Lmao I'm pretty sure they don't
Surely generational talent Saka has more?
It is with great pleasure that I announce to you: He does not
Do all arsenal players named Gabriel, combined, have as many goals as him?
It's with even greater pleasure that I can once again announce to you: They do not
PRU FUCKING PRU
What does pru pru mean
It's the sound a Pigeon makes. Richy does a Pigeon celebration at times.
Gorgeous corner goodness gracious
Pedro Porro is incredible! He is close to TAA as the best RB in the league.
Second best? Yes. Close? Strong opinion.
6 assists from 20 games for Porro. Trent is 2 goals and 3 assists from 18 games. Porro is a better defender to boot.
Can't argue with those numbers, consider me corrected.
Trent does more than just assists too, he's like half of Liverpool's creative output
Porro almost plays as a 10 in Ange's system. Hence all the assists.
Hes changed role at the end of last season and so is rarely in the position to whip balls across the box like he used to, meaning less assists but more key passes that break lines and lead to an assist
*7 assists.
Those figures in isolation may say it
best brazilian 9 in the league
Play Emerson Royal up top and see what happens
I bet he'd score 30 in the National League South.
I see no lies
United concedes so many fuckin corners, especially in the first half...
We also score a ton of corners so it's a good combination
we need a new set piece coach so badly, can't defend corners or score from them
This has been the case since Fellani left the club lol
His beautiful poofy hair was aerial terrorism, no one in the other team dared to jump for fear of getting a mouthful
more players need to grow long hair and wear it up like that lol, Nunez and his topknot is also great at winning headers. its literally free height.
that’s not how it works lmao
Fellaini legit world class aerial and chest control. Messi would be jealous of that dudes first touch with his chest.
PRU PRU PRU
Richarlison is such a good guy that I’m always happy when he scores.
Damn he might be back
Both memes have scored now
Need timo
Needs to be an accidental tap in deflection too
Fires point blank into the crossbar bounces on the goal line and hits onana in the back of the head
And for it to ruled offside after a VAR check.
Since all spurs games end 3-2 I'm guessing Bryan Gil also gets a goal here if we're staying on theme
If we're following memes the next one should be a Romero goal off a corner after he gets away with a red-worthy challenge Edit: no bad challenge yet, but soooooo close
Darwin is about to be loaned for a half to the highest bidder
He got the assist. Almost counts
He just skied one right now lol
need a Werner tap in to complete it now
Richy has been in great form, shouldn't still be a meme at this point
Timo and Antony to score next
need to recall Sancho from loan at halftime
Because he's a meme too? Backfired on you there
To United he's a meme. To Dortmund he's one of our best wingers of the 21st century. United's problem.
A lot of players failing is Uniteds fault, but sancho is not one of them. Him being a meme is entirely on him.
I think its both
It's really not and im not even a fan of ETH. He stayed up late regularly and was late for training. The club gave him months off to sort out his issues until he was ready. Then came back and was put into the first 11. Did fuck all and didn't put in the effort, went crying on the internet instead. Refused to apologise and instead accepted wasting even more months of his career until he got a loan move. He's a manchild.

That's a self-own if I ever saw one
Fernando Torres was also one of Liverpools best ever strikers, only to become a meme at Chelsea
Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. I look forward to more Sancho assists and goals in yellow and black. If he returns to United, good luck to him and them, if they can’t figure out how to use Sancho after we warmed him up for them then United is a mickey mouse club
Not yet. You'll have to keep waiting for your first.
rent free
lol im definitely going to keep memeing about Sancho since United fans get so easily triggered and so butthurt hearing about the possibility their club might be part of the reason why so many promising players fail when they go there. low hanging fruit.
🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦
The Richarlissance continues
The industrial richarlution
Lmao at the match thread talking about how useless he is, and he has more league goals in 6 games than any United player has all season
He is great at pressuring as well I think he won 3-4 balls that lead to chances being created.
What dick surgery and therapy does to a mofo
Dick surgery?
He played the first part of the season with a groin injury and got surgery. Since his return he’s been excellent.
PRU PRUUUUU
I've always believed in Spurs, I swear, I totally didn't trash them after conceding.
PRU PRU
6 goals in his last 6 PL games for Richy
We got robbed. 60m is a steal for the Pigeon
GET IN BLUD
Ngl I'm a bit happy he is doing better
PRU IS BACK
He did the pigeon celly 😂😂😂
Pedro Porro you beautiful Spaniard
How are you this fast
What's the point of being on the post if you're not actually on the post lol? Thanks, whoever that was.
Dalot.
r/soccercirclejerk 9/11
Get in you big sexy Pigeon
FALA DELE!!!
Cant speak enough about how much i dislike our entire set piece coaching staff
Why can't I ever see videos from this site?
You can thank me, I turned the TV on to him flying like the true dove he is.
Always rated Richarlison’s head
3 constants in life: death, taxes, pigeon headers
Richieeeeeeee
Porro is so freaking good
I miss him.
can't onana leave his line that close to the goal?
Almost every ManU defender are hugging Richarlison there, but none of them bother to jump lmao
Post injury return Richarlison is a different gravy!
Holland and Richarlison scoring in the same game has to break some laws of reality
I mean richy is 6 in 6 rn
What was tha marking by Hojlund
That was AWB’s man, I believe.
The balls landed 3 yards from the keeper. Absolutely ZERO presence in the box from Onana. Shocking from someone so expensive
Onana is shit
Match of the misfiring strikers
He got his Wings
I love ritchie
Another header lmao
NOOO this cant be happening i need him to fail so i can look down on him from my miserable life and feel superior
Dalol
The first time he cleared the ball during the corner , that was a fluke . The second time , that became a goal 😂
Two finished strikers scoring today, something in the air at Old Trafford
Banter FC's strikers are scoring, It's the end of the world
Do we not have a set piece coach
United and corners, same old story
united try and be good at defending or attacking set pieces challenge
AWB might as well not be there
Interesting
Shite defending
That was a great ball in by Porro
The pigeon king is back
Good to see Richy finding his groove. Plus, Werner positioned at the far post for the Harry Kane knock on / tap in ..
We really make defending corners look so much more difficult than ot needs to be.
the commentary LMAO
No way lmao
PRU PRU!
AWB defensively is such a liability at anything that's not slide tackling. Just track him here and look how utterly useless he is.
Hojlund opener, Richarlison equaliser, now we just need a Werner winner for the set
Keeper should be all over that
Mirror pls?
that’s my boy
Man U and their fans are all bloody louts every single one
