Great stats, I have one query, it says we are the 4th fewest corners taken, does that mean, we win a corner and forget to take them :D

This stat seems to be one that is bandied about a lot at the moment and I think it is meaningless nonsense. To analyse it I assume this means goals in mins 0-9,36-45,45-54 and 81-90 - that alone is 40 minutes of a ninety minute game if you factor in that you get 1-2 mins at the end of each first half and 3-4 at the end of the second half which will conveniently be included in these 10 minute spells you have half the bloody game!
Now with that being the case is there any training or tactics that can improve this stat, not likely as it is purely stats based madness in my opinion.

We do have a tactic to improve the stat, wasting time at the end of the first half.

Some interesting statistics there, it does back up that we defend well, but are still a bit powderpuff at the sharp end
