Crossing

Cavani aside, we don’t have anyone else that consistently busts a gut to get on the end of a cross. This makes any crosses that do happen look even worse and even more pointless.

Too many of our forwards would rather linger on the edge of the box ready for the cut back or the clearance.

Yeah this is the case.

I haven’t been massively impressed with Telles crossing either seeing as though everybody said he was awesome at it.

He’s probably still the best at it in the squad though.

It’s a full back function and ours are not particularly good at it.

The issue is we don't have strikers who want to get on the end of crosses, with the exception of Cavani.

I think our corners especially have improved a lot this season. What is frustrating is how often Maguire seems to get on the end of them and not score or trouble the keeper. Often the header is rubbish and goes wide/over, but it seems he connects well quite often and manages to get it straight at the keeper (I'll put this down to bad luck).

This will improve as time goes by. Wan bissaka is not the greates but his attacking game has improved from previous season

Shaw is also working on corners so crossing will improve eventually. Work in progress i guess.

Yes. Cavani is the only player who is good with his head in front of the goal.
