This is very wrong especially when in most cases it's the wingers that will lead counter attacks and not the fullbacks.

It's thinking like yours that's one of the reasons Super Eagles didn't qualify for the world cup.

Crossing or low crossing or passing into box puts pressure on the opposition and keeps the ball in the opposition's half of the field as it can lead to corners and this reduces the amount of shots your GK will face...

fabyom:
What about Robinson and Trent? He has scored 4 goals for Super Eagles and only one came through header.

Danielnino00:


Who is Robinson? Is Trent a winger? Trent is one of the main source of creativity in Klopp's system..He and Salah play the same wings,you won't see Salah playing crosses into the box.. that clearly highlight my point that in the modern game, wingers don't do much crossing of the ball.. Somebody said our wingers should be crossing the ball for Onuachu...

Danielnino00:


What I wrote there wasn't from my thinking..it is an analysis of how the modern game is . You can prove me wrong... How many top wingers in today's game are still playing crosses? How many top teams still use that style? In fact, how many wingers still play the traditional style of wingers hugging the touchline? Name some of them for me...

BannedLarge:


Funny enough, Bassey can cross a ball well but he is our best CB at the moment and will be wasted at LB

typicalgamer:


Same reason why irrespective of Paul goals in Belgium he’s not rated

You clearly just look at stats and not watch football match at all. Vlahovic is an eyesore

But our wingers aren’t of the same quality as those you mentioned na.

They can’t play as other wingers are playing they lack the skill set. Isn’t it better to play cross and head than play dribbling into the box that they’re not good at

codemaniacs:


football is football nothing like modern game... In a counter attack it's mostly the striker or wingers that run with the ball forward and they are the ones that will play the crosses into the box..

Every top team uses that style.. its either the winger plays a cross or passes into the box or cuts into the box then shoots or passes.... the wings are very useful when it comes to chance creation...

Brazil vs Ghana match, most of the goals Ghana conceded were from crosses into the box, Vinicius Junior and Raphinha were playing crosses into box...

2 of Osimhen's goals for his hat-trick were from crosses into the box one from the winger Kvara and other from the Right Fullback..

TheGoodJoe:


I am with Danielnino00 on this. Modern set up has three forwards. Not wingers. They help increase the numerical around the box and also bring the ball into the offensive third.

They also create gaps at the wide areas with their runs into the box. This giving the wing backs and offensive midfielders to use that area for crossing.

Mane, Salah, Firmino is a good example of your modern day offense set up. How many times do you see them whipping in crosses?

typicalgamer:


Call it Whatever you modern football has 3 forwards come on now let’s be real

You think all team plays 433

typicalgamer:

What they play is called small ball they don’t have a typical stand in no9

That’s what Bayern are doing right now

TheGoodJoe:


I think I will put it this way. My phrasing was wrong. Most modern set up have three forwards. Today, Manchester City played with Alvarez, Grealish and Bernardo Silva.

justicechichex:
Lookman scores from the spot.. Atalanta lead 1 nil. Handball by Osimhen.

BascoVanVeli:
Lookman wicked ooo see finish

Now you’re talking but always remember 70% of teams can’t afford to play like this 100% of the time except you’re a big club.

Imagine Nottingham against city

They rather fall back leave 1 man up top and always wait for a fast break counter before they’ll consider aligning a 3 man upward

fabyom:
In a 4-3-3 it is the wing backs that crosses. Robertson and Trent does the crossing. Wingers often time square play. Liverpool scores from a lot of crosses. Onachu scored his goals under Rohr in a 4-3-3 system.

Real Madrid

Bayern lewan era

Juventus since time immemorial

English premier league with the exception of Manchester city

Liverpool has even abused this
