I always thing the most effective crosses are the low ones whipped in at speed from the goal line. Creates a great del of panic for onrushing defenders. Trouble is the lack of interest from Reading players to try and go on the outside of defenders in the last couple of years. Like it's being discouraged.Coppells Lost Coat wrote:RoyalBlue wrote:Two things:Berry wrote:So we had too many wingers then not enough and who will get on the end of crosses?...Bod or the tall McNulty...Who's running the club FFS
1) The crosses don't need to all be in the air, in fact it pays to vary them!
2) You don't necessarily need to be a tall barsteward to be very effective in the air.

I've been told on here that the position you describe doesn't exist. It's just strikers or wingers. Can't remember who said it, but I totally agree with you.Vision wrote:Well quite.

What is he then. He isn't a central midfielder or striker either. Wing appears to be the place where he's best.
Which is funny considering a huge quantity of the best players in the world play that position..Snowflake Royal wrote:I've been told on here that the position you describe doesn't exist.
