Leeds United have spent this week trying to score more goals from corners with manager Daniel Farke admitting it will come into his thinking in the next transfer window.
Despite only two teams having won more than Leeds' 259 corners in this season’s Championship, their conversion rate is very poor. All teams have their weak spots, and if the Whites were still winning games without them, no one would really bat an eyelid. But they won 25 flag kicks in last week's matches and did not win – or score in – either. It is a wider problem with set-pieces in general. Despite being a team who spends the majority of most games attacking – WhoScored.
'We normally have height but if you look at how many goals Joe Rodon, Ethan Ampadu or even Georgie Rutter have scored from corner kicks you won't find many,' says Farke. 'We're not magicians to make set-piece threats out of them.' There has been bad luck too, with one of their most dangerous players at corners, Pascal Struijk, injured since Christmas.
