Come on Power that's nonsense. If you put a cross in that the goalkeeper just cannot reach it's up to the forwards to get them selves in the place that enables them to reach it. That's almost the definition of a good striker.It's no good trying to pass the ball to the player because the defender will be there too. You have to put it in at the right speed and height to the place where the striker will move to.
That's true but none of Moore's crosses actually went to a place where the strikers could actually get to. Perhaps they should have been further forward, but they were not and the player with the ball needs to notice that. A good pass rarely goes to where the player was at the time it was made...it more often goes into space which a player is running into. Exactly the same logic applies to crosses.
This is the thing about the Werner Paradox: everything he does outside the 18-yard box is exact what we need as he's got pace, control, workrate and is great at breaking the offside trap - but once he gets into the 18-yard box he turns into Ali Dia
You've actually managed to describe the ideal scenario as exactly what Moore did... They were crosses into the spaces/areas where you should expect the strikers to be straining to get into. They didn't, so the chances went begging.
