A striker can make a poor cross into a good one by putting pressure on the defender to slice the ball into the net or mis-controlling in the box. It's all about the attackers willingness to do this and how many bodies we have in the area. The fact that Palmer crossed so many times shows his attacking potential but it's up to the others to put the ball in the net. Like I said earlier we don't score enough from midfield. Bannan, lee or Wallace for me don't gamble enough on crosses and when they do none of them have great heading ability. With the players we have we are trying to play the ball into the net. We need a Clint Dempsey type, Kevin Nolan or someone of similar ilk....but who would you drop ?
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, you need a team....
