Something needs to be done about these corners as well.
Couldn't agree more.

Ideally training. I've never understood how we've got players that are good in the air but we do absolutely nothing from free kicks over the last few years (pirlos exceptional shots excluded)

Confusion on the pitch and a lack of discipline
It doesn't help that our older and more experienced players are fucking up. Bonucci with that foul that led to the goal, Chiello last week.
Bovo also scores that goal once in a blue moon, but it wasn't exactly the only chance Torino had today.

I don't see this. I saw the problem being far more that our players were making little effort to get on the end of them. Twice our attackers gave away fouls on corners that were swung in very well. Once Pogba and another player missed a corner that flew right across the 6 yard box at chest-head height. And there was a 4th put right into the middle of the box, that our players just got outjumped by defenders for. SO that's 4 of 7 corners that were at least decent, if not good. Dybala needs to work on his consistency with the corners, but 4 of 7 gave our attackers a very good chance to get on the end of them.

I agree its more player movement than the delivery is the problem.

Watching that match winner over again reminds me a little of Krasic scoring on Lazio from the other side during similar times years ago.

Yep. It's not a mental issue there isnt enough ideas or discipline. That's why we can't string wins together .

We never seem to have enough players in the box on corners, and the ones we have don't seem to move, they're often static as though waiting for a ball to come to them.

It's likely the reason we're so bad defending set pieces in the air too. For a fairly tall team (dependent on who is on the field) it's shocking how bad we are at getting our heads on set piece balls.
