      It should really be someone who cant offer much in the box
      Let Carragher take them,not like hes gonna get in the box and score is it?

      Good thinking.  We all know Carragher doesn't play the ball forward anyway so he'll be fine angling the ball backwards in to the box.

      For me Yossi Insua for example should be on corners

      Is he any good? ;)

      Agree fully that Gerrard should be twenty yards out, central when corners are whipped in. He'll up his tally by at least 5 goals this season.

      I think we need to worry about defending set pieces than attacking with them just now though!

      I think Insua or Aurelio should take them depending on whose playing. They should practise them everyday in training for an hour or two. It's not rocket science. Get it sorted and get other teams to worry about us.

      Beyond me how we cant expect any pro footballer to put in a decent corner. For me Yossi Insua for example should be on corners and there is no reason they cant hit pinpoint balls on the head of Stevie Nando Skrtel etc
      Totally agree

      Aurelio, when fit and in the side (think of his free kicks!) as well as Benayoun as already mentioned along with Gerrard would give the side quite a variety of corner kick takers.

      I think Aquilani will be the corner taker when he is fit enough to play ,that way it leaves Stevie,Lucas , Dirk , plus the attacking Agger and Skertel free

      It seems like every time we take a corner we create nothing, yet every time we concide a corner we look like we will ship a goal

      True. Liverpool are at the moment, and have been for a long time, terrible in both attacking and defending set pieces. If aurelio does get into the first team he should takes all the set pieces, including the right and left corners. I can't remeber the last time gerrard took a good free kick.

      At the moment it should be Lucas... to have Gerrard in the box makes Stevie more dangerous.... Plus Lucas has good cornors on him..

      Aurelio, Johnson, Benayoun or Lucas. Not Gerrard (or Aquilani when he comes back), because of what he can do from 20 yards out. Also, he is a major threat in the air.

      Aquilani, once fit, should also just lurk outside the box.

      im sure if we get a few good corners in against hull we will get a goal or two. There not the best at defending set-pieces.

      Depending whose on the field i would say either Aurelio, Johnson, Babel, or Riera. Definately not Stevie, hes invaluable in and around the edge of the box. Aquilani looks like he can hit a good dead ball too. But theres nothing more annoying than a player not being able to clear the first man paricularly when theyre not under any pressure is there? it drives me f***in mad when they do that. But even the best are prone to it nowadays.

      We should mix it up a bit, confuse the opposition, Stevie taking the corners all the time is a big no no. We need him on the edge of the box to thunder one in.

      JD is working on it now, the last time I checked 'Who's Online' JD is looking at his profile.

      Not only should he be banned, all his posts and everything on here should be deleted from the database.

      Anyway, back on topic.

      I'd go for lucas or yossi on the left of goal post and Aurelio... I think we more a threat when delivering out swinger than in swinger unlike man yoo, they are more dangerous when giggs is hitting an in swinger, i'm always like "OOH MY GOD" they gonna score... But us in swinger don't fit us especially when Stevie takes them he always invites the keeper too much but when it's out swinger you take it out of the keeper's reach... Most of our corner kick goals come from out swinger... But Aurelio can hit in swinger's very well, his kicks used to have force, accuracy and a good bent...
