Does crossing even matter that match directly? or its more to stretch the field?
Is it our preconception of good goals from the flying wing backs, fullbacks from youtube make us hate decent fullbacks.

Abate is terrible crosser he cannot even complete few before this year.

In general. Carlos team didnt cross much and they were really good. Fergies team always crossed and they were good :eek: oh well beckham is a freak i guess

Completed cross

I consider a cross completed if the next on-the-ball action is performed by the player from the crossing team

So lot of teams does it, so there might be a reason for it, or players are bored playing 90 minutes, there are only so many moves you can make :o

Converted cross

A cross is converted if the crossing team scores within 5 seconds of the cross. This is an arbitrary window, but it should catch all the goals (including own goals) which are “due” to the cross in significant degree. This will include own goals, rebounds and goals from brief goal-line scrambles

Football is a game of Go or traditional it is , where everybody is under the belief thats its a series of butterfly effects :o, eat the space and capture the field

Fuck pep.

I wish we had some numbers on Zeman , no foreplay just score

jesus its a very very difficult game and simple

Ignazio Abate: Has picked up as many assists (4) in 6 Serie A apps this season as he had in his previous 134 apps combined

:eek: :eek: Pippo, what have you done to him?

I hope he doesn't change back in the old Abate when he renews his contract

Raiola just said that Milan hasn't made an offer yet. I call that BS. It's obvious he wants a contract of 3+ mill per year and considering that PSG wanted to buy him for 10 mill less than 2 years ago, he'll probably get that much if not here somewhere else.

I wouldn't mind offering him a contract for 3M if he can keep this form all the time, but considering his previous year performances and injuries, I'm not sure that it's gonna happen. You have players like Darmian that gets 0.5 mill a year and Pasqual that gets 1 mill a year.

Also the performances so far are tied not only to his qualities (the same way that Nocerino scoring 10 goals was not only due to his skills). The thing is that Abate plays much better in counter-attack and if there are players that can make a through pass when he makes the run. Otherwise he's a lot more innocuous. If he can learn to dribble or fake a cross, he'd be a lot more dangerous.

On defense, the pair Alex-Abate has been a lot more stable than Rami - De Sciglio

Does the OG count as an assist for Abate? Cause that's 5 so far..

cant tell if abate is actually good or if the opposition teams we have played so far are just mediocre. Bit of both perhaps. milito's bitch is doing well so far, i hope he continues to deliver such performances on a consistent basis.

Hes playing well because Pippo's tactics are very well suited to him Abate gets forward a lot more. The partnership between and Honda is perfect which helps a lot too obviously. They work wonders together

Plus Pippo puts a lot of confidence in Igna and that's what he needed.

In the current form arguably amongst the best in his position
