The quality of our crossing just isn't good enough. It is nowhere near premier league standard both from the crossers perspective and positioning of the strikers in the box.
Surely we must be practicing this. The number of times we get in great positions for the cross to be woeful.
Agree and further more our corners are abysmal, absolutely criminal.
I have watched many Sunday morning players take far better corners.

We probably should have scored two corners first half, both good deliveries from Iwobi
Does make you wonder what goes on in training! Mind you the same was happening under Silva.

There was really clever positioning and blocking for the Tete one in particular.
Then Tete kind of got in the way for the Andersen chance (Joa still should've done better)
Can anyone remember many really good corner deliveries even from opposition players at the Cottage. I believe our pitch is quite high with a bit of a drop off, could this be effecting the players.

With Tete jumping right in front of him, he could not get the nod down, he would have headbutted Tete, the only one for me that was a poor attempt was Berge, there was no reason for him to get under the ball.
So we've established that:
Our crossing isn't good.
We suck at corners.
Our strikers can't score.
And we struggle to close out games.
What does that make us?
