We simply haven't got players who can thread a ball through the eye of a needle.
We haven't got players who make intelligent runs behind defences.
All we do is play across the face of the box one way then back the other.
We rarely get behind so why not mix it up and put crosses in as well?
People say Hughes only knows how to play Crouch as a striker.Thats easy but effective.
Look at West Broms goal today. Full back behind a slow Jesé, cross, goal.
Ferguson did it all the time with Giggs and Beckham.
Real Madrid do it ffs.
Hughes is trying to be Barcelona without the quality players and it won't work.
This is a plea to mix it up NOT go back to Pulis ball.
It might just work you know

Need wing-backs and a real striker. Choupo isn't a striker.

I think Jese and Berahino will work. It's whether he'll try it often enough,

Been saying similar for ages. It's as if we think it's beneath us to whip in an early cross. Shaqiri in particular, is guilty of this.

In a 343 if we play with genuine wing backs then there is little need for any of the front three to put in crosses. Obviously occasionally they will get the chance to, but most of the time they will/should be acting as strikers or as a playmaker behind a striker. Even in Hughes' other formation of 4231 - it should be attacking full backs who provide most of the width and most of the crosses |
