    It actually upsets me how poor Obertan's crossing is like I can play a ball into the box and pick someone out if I play right mid and generally Im a CF target man so if I can do it why cant he <doh>

    Same. I'm a right midfielder for my local team and despite my lack of pace, I'm a very good crosser of the ball and work hard for the team. <ok>

    Edit : Although right now I'm playing as a right back because the 1st choice RB got injured.. :/

    It doesnt even have to be amazing, but we have two 6 foot + strikers and he drills his crosses into the first man, just float it into the box!

    Ahhh sucks I used to play Centre Back cause Im fairly big as well as tall but I hated it good luck getting back to RM !

    As you said though I understand we're not playing premier league football so the pressure and pace isnt as quick giving us more time to be able to pick someone out but still I feel its ridiculous he cant even average 2/3 per game

    Well I'm not Barton-esque slow.. but I'm also nowhere near Obertan's level of pace. <ok>

    I have good strength, can pick a pass, tall(for my age) and I'm technically quite accomplished.

    Also I'm three years younger than you.. so yeah.

    I played left wing and used to pick out a decent cross. Was a bit greedy tbh, liked to shoot rather than cross but I'm just ignorant lol

    Theres a LM in my team exactly like that but as soon as you have a go at him for being greedy he'll pop the ball in from about 40 yards out his shooting is so good !

    Yeah, there's all types of different players to be honest. There's some who are good team players(like me.. who like to pass/cross instead of having a shot or dribbling) and there's other's who think there Messi(well the guy who plays LW for my team definitely thinks he is..). <ok>

    I've been playing LB and I've been putting better crosses in with my opposite foot than he has with his strong foot!

    Lol. I got player of the season 3 years in a row so didn't do too bad. Scored 34 one season - everything I hit went in lol. Saying that, I did score 10 in one game against this random **** team

    That's very good to say the least. I've only managed one goal in 13 games this season and that took a deflection. :/

    Same as me then, and I'm younger than you too.

    I'm a GK though so that's different.
