Hazard's cross yesterday would have hit the first man if there had been a first man & if their strikers had been stood in the middle of the box or outside it, like ours usually do, it would have sailed past without a problem.
Navas usually produces 1 or 2 goalscoring crosses per game. When the rags were attheir best & were the best around at crossing, they would try for 90 mins to get 1 ball into the 6 yard box. When it got there, they would tap it into the empty net. They would also try to get in front of the defender at the near post (Solskjaer got half his goals from there) & either score or flick the ball at the keeper & get the rebound. We do neither.
If Navas had played for the rags, he would be an assist machine, irrespective of how many crosses aren't perfect. Having a cf will also possibly give him the option of aerial crosses, which are also a waste of time trying in most cases at the moment.
Clichy btw has produced some of the best crosses this season.
