Cyrus Christie's Crossing Numbers.
Last 10 games.

51 crosses attempted.
13 accurate crosses.
25.49% crossing accuracy.
0 expected assists (xA) in 9 of his last 10.
0.63 xA.
0.06 xA per game.

Would love to see these stats for all our wide players. They don't make great reading though

Agreed, I wasn’t looking to dig him out, just saw the stats and thought they were worth sharing. 

I thought he was excellent against Millwall and those two defensive headers at the end of that match were immense under pressure. 

However my perception has always been that he is defensively weak and his attacking game is what earns him a spot ahead of Jenkinson and the now departed Darikwa.

I have been banging on about it for weeks. Our crossing and final ball is shocking but folks keep replying to me that we need pace. We don't need pace, we need someone who can cross and pass a football. Beckham had no pace, Robbo had no pace but they knew how to cross a ball.

Ha whoops thought it was Ribs with the cross. Yeah our crossing is dier, Ameobi has never been able to cross, I've not seen enough of Mighten corssing attempts yet to see if he's any good at it. The full backs are offering close to nothing with crossing, it was the same last year too. Knockaert can cross it allegedly...

He hasn't really played since the loan was extended due to Mighten, that's not a bad thing. Last night the whole falling over and claiming a free kick was embarrassing but aside from that he put in one excellent corner. Didn't offer any more or less than Mighten really though.

I'm still very happy with kept him, he's better than Ameobi and Lolley and I don't think we'd be able to get anyone else in any better. Only caveat is that he doesn't take too much game time away from Mighten who also looks better than Ameobi/Lolley and is the perfect time to help him develop.

We lost a game to a fairly decent team who had a rocket up their arses after a poor display themsleves at the weekend. We got off to a poor start and that set the tone for the whole night and we never looked up for it. These things happen in the championship. He need to not get too down about the defeat, get back on the horse and win the next game so the defeat doesnt turn into another slump.
