Anyone else notice the amount of footballers in the league that fail to beat the first man when taking corners?

Exactly. Have you also noticed the number of rubbish free kicks which have been taken in recent weeks? Leathered into the wall or an opposition player's midriff. The thing which bugs me the most (and this is especially so in England games) is when players p the ball back to the goalkeeper. There is too much of this f@rting around and all it does is slow down potentially devastating attacks. Surely 'world cl' internationals on 100k a week can kick the thing forwards.
