Pedro Porro

Porro put in as many crosses as the rest of our wide players put together last night but due to the insistence on fullbacks underlapping then most were from a less than optimal position, especially against such a deep set and well organised defence.

This is kind of what I was saying, in that most of our crosses come from the right. Thanks for posting this btw, since my point is that 8/23 successful crosses seems suboptimal, but I'm not necessarily placing ALL the blame on Porro. I do think he can vary his crossing a bit or try to be more deliberate with the crosses he puts in.
My real point is that as it's one of his strengths, Porro should be finding more success with crossing but as we've all seemed to state, it could just be the system that's too slow in buildup allowing opposition center backs the comfort of heading crosses away with ease.

Strange timing on the feedback, he put quite a few very dangerous crosses in against Forest, more than one the Spurs player got to.

Symptomatic of how we play in general now but he did hesitate and take an extra touch quite often on Monday when the ball was laid back for him to whip it in.
Quality is there but the timing is off IMHO.
