The problem is that when we get into wide crossing positions, we always go for the obvious ball that is easy to block for all those men back defending. We need to be a bit smarter in those positions and try to wrong foot the defenders with a precise cutback instead of a floated cross that is never finding its target. It requires better movement from our forwards off the ball and maybe better technicians getting the ball in.
 
PLayers need to get closer together domsome quick passing and moving to get through.
Especially when we get the ball wide right someone needs to make that run from deep between the gap of their cB and RB.
 
As I always say, we need better passers in midfield, our passing is slow and predictable. We can't cut through teams who park the bus. Too many similar players in there trying to do similar things and all very slowly. That or we need to work on becoming a more consistent counter attacking team.
