Golden opportunity for first-time cross not taken


 Share

Recommended Posts

This is a perfect example of the terrible crossing behaviour in the game since FM20.

In a counter-attack situation, the central striker is in loads of room and only has one defender, behind him, in close proximity. The player on the right flank is chasing after the loose ball, will get to it before the nearest defender, and has a perfect opportunity to hit a first-time cross into the box, where the striker is likely to get to it before the defender. Instead, he languishes, slows play down and waits for the defender to get to the by-line before attempting to cross. Of course, the ball then goes out for a corner. Any player, no matter what level, should recognise that they should hit a first-time cross in this situation. 

Occurs at 43:00 in the attached .PKM.

Feel your pain. Just had quite an annoying one.

25:58- Tramoni robs Ederson and has players coming to support:

Not only does it fully take him 2 seconds to think of passing but then plays it back and the chance of a header into an open net has gone:

Had to laugh really.
