Sorry, no. The defence was essentially set, the crossing was a lost cause. In particular, it was useless with a striker (Adebayor) who is frequently 30 yards from goal, not in a position to make a run into the box. Our most dangerous, highest quality chances in both the WBA and Forest games came from either throughballs, or balls over the top in the centre. How many goals have we scored so far this year from crosses? How many have we scored this year from chipped balls over the top or throughballs? The numbers this year for us, and in general across England specifically and Europe in general are really clear. Crossing produces lower quality goal scoring chances which are converted less frequently. The most successfull teams (both points and goals scored) in England, Spain, Germany and in the Champions League last year all were the teams which played the most throughballs in comparison to crosses.
We didn't attempt any throughballs against Forest until Mason and Kane came on. Kane's header in the box, and his goal both came off balls through the middle. Soldado's goal did too, albeit unintentionally. We did not create a single goal scoring chance from a cross.
Pochettino prefers the ball to be played though the middle to the strikers. The players on the team are better when they do so as well (in particular all three strikers). We need to play to our strengths, and the numbers on all levels show that crossing is not a strength.
