Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar

Llorente will hate those terrible crosses from Licht :D
Llorente will attack the front post in a way none of Juve's forwards do regularly just now.

Suddenly awful crosses don't look so awful when a striker is actually moving properly.

They're average not terrible. Sometimes he put in some wonderful balls that go unnoticed because our forwards are not moving well.

That might very well be, but the crossing from our flanks is still the weakest aspect of our game, as weak as our forward finisher position.

Licht is a fantastic player but his crosses are terrible, let's not sugarcoat it.
He's definitely not a good crosser.

However, my point still stands.

Take this goal for instance:


If Juve's strikers had been static/hiding at the back post, waiting for an extraordinarily brilliant cross, nothing comes of that ball Estigarribia puts in and Estigarribia probably gets slated for putting in a cross that was very easy for the first defender to deal with.

However, because Quagliarella was alive to the situation and made a good move across the defender at the front post, it looks like a good cross and Juve get a goal from it.
