30 crosses a game is the requirement. They can come from anyone but if you cross the ball into the box 30 times, you should score at least once.

Mix the crosses up, near post, far post, long, short, low, driven, deep, byline etc. Some will deflect out for a corner, some will ricochet but providing we have players running into the box we will create chances and score goals.

If we are going to play 433 then a "No 10" cannot be part of the midfield 3, it would leave us extremely vulnerable when we lose the ball. All three need the engine to get up and down IMO which is why it is three from HC, JH, EW & EH rather then 2 of them plus CV, etc.


OK, maybe I explained it poorly.  I get what you mean, we're not playing a new-style number 10 behind the strikers, but are Cook and Vernam perfectly good central midfielders to add a bit of sparkle to an already solid central 3?  So in essence, Cook or Vernam to replace one of the established 3 central midfielders?

I think the above is the principle that Graham Taylor worked on at Watford, it's from a gentleman called Charles Hughes, and he was associated with the FA at one stage, no wonder England couldn't compete with the pass and move top national sides. In theory it will be relatively successful, not pretty to watch, but the Cowleys are getting results.
