Hi just a quick question, cant find an answer on.
Has anyone any tips on how to make my full backs cut out crosses from the byeline, because it seems to me that they never seem too, and the winger makes almost 100% of his crosses, and it always falls to someone at near post 90% of the time.
Thanks in Advance
Hm... Are you talking about yoour fullbacks not crossing or that they cant show the opposition winger down the line to prevent an early cross
If its the first..then..
Is it that the wingers cross BEFORE that fullback comes to support ( then its more of an issue with the general flow and the wingers settings. Here, its more about not playing so direct and having your fullbacks on attack and the wingers on support
Is it that the fullbacks have the ball but decides to cross from deep ?. Then its eityher because they decide NOT to try to beat their man to get to the byline, or that they indeed have their crossing set from deep, or that you play a high tempo game with the fullbacks trying to get the ball forward as soon as possible etc etc
If its the 2nd: THave you tried showing the wingers outside ( i.e showing the left winger onto his left foot and right on right ) ?
Put your fullbacks to cut inside or give them more passing option.
That would make them wander inside with the ball on their wrong foot.
