Clichy's crossing

[itisrising]

I think he is very good player but honestly his crossing is poor. Thoughts?

who has he got to aim for in the box, basically aguero vs 2 massive centre backs

Quick - Post a video of how shit he is on You Tube ffs

His crossing is poor but we don't play the sort of football that relies on his crossing too much. As the previous poster says we rarely have bodies in the box for a ball to be crossed in

It is when he's stuck on the right with no right foot.

If we actually piled bodies in the box like most clubs do it wouldn't seem so bad. Clichy isn't the best crosser and often doesn't bother crossing it (instead giving it to Nasri) but we should have people racing for the ball at the front and back posts. Crosses are the sort of thing Dzeko might thrive on if we sent more into the box, too often we play in circles - Clichy is free to cross the ball but gives it to Nasri. Nasri holds it and gives it back to Clichy but Clichy now has a man on him so plays it sideways/back and we try and walk the ball into the area.

I think that Mancini plays Kolarov because he is superior at crossing compared to Clichy but Clichy is better at everything else. If Clichy was good at crossing, I would imagine Kolarov wouldn't get a look in.

Better than Johnson whilst playing right wing.

Because he has pace mate. A pacy Johnson would be an animal!! Johnson only has quick feet and against many defenders that isn't enough unless they make a mistake.
