I actually think ward prowse is one of the most consistant accurate crossers in the premier league although the rest of his game is pretty mediocre

stats are awful Chelsea could have 40 crosses a game with 10% accuracy that means 4 accurate crosses where stoke may have 3 crosses 100% accurate if all lead to goals Chelsea win 4-3.

one thing i dont get is how a fantastic passer like cesc Fabregas delivers such awful corners.

99% of the time, crossing is just sideways hoofball

I love the early the crosses or L1 O on the PlayStation. The whip put on the those for an on rushing player is bliss. Tackling is probably the least important skill. You'll never win player of the month or a balon dor for that unfortunately.

What a strange comment.

Across Europe's big leagues, only 1.5% of crosses resulted in goals last season.

But Real Madrid averaged 3.5%, scoring 40 goals from crosses in the process.

I found this article interesting. I first found it posted on this site - Edinspur maybe?

I think one has to differentiate between an aimless "lump it into the mixer" cross and a precision aerial pass. Aimless crossing is too wasteful and is usually used more by less skilful teams/players from lower divisons.

depends on the type of cross.... a low cross whipped across the six yard box is probably one of the most dangerous attacking moves in the game.
