Agree with the comments about leaving someone on the half-way line when defending a corner.
I'd go even further - every now and then, try putting 3 players on the half-way line - and watch the opposition withdraw 4 players to cover them!
Common sense would suggest 8 defenders (including the goalie) against 5 attackers (no keeper, corner-taker or 4 defenders on half-way) is better than 11 defenders against 8 or 9 attackers.
