There is no doubt we need a right footed player in the starting 11 who can take a decent set piece.

I hate seeing Knockaert take them from both sides, I remember at least 3 or 4 where the ball has gone directly out of play ... drives me mad

On the subject of corners can we please stop letting knockhaert take them from the left. Numerous times this season we've wasted chances by him curling the ball out before it hits the box. No need, especially next season.

That's weird bearing in mind statistics before have said about 2%.

That says that 14% OF GOALS SCORED, are scored from corners. If the previous stats you refer to were that only a small % OF CORNERS lead to goals, the two are not mutually exclusive.

Is my mind playing tricks, or has Stephens taken some in the past (not recently)?

Would imagine CH prefers him on the edge of the box for a crack at goal/prevent a counter attack though.

I'd second that. It drives me nuts. Complete waste.

I stand to be corrected, but I think I heard recently we only scored 4 goals from corners this season which is 5.4% of our 74 goals.

I don't refer to any other stats. Another poster pointed out that 2% of corners lead to goals. I have no idea whether that is true, but was surprised that as many as 14% of goals are from corners
