To be fair, I think he does. He's played only 50% minutes available for him to play since the start of the season.
He's got 103 crosses from CM.
Lowton, an attacking wing back, has played almost every game, has 48 crosses. Only 8 accurate.
We need our best crosser
1. Playing every game - as many minutes as possible in every game
2. To get the ball as often as possible: CM. On one of the wings he would get fewer touches a game, be less influential, probably get fewer crosses.
Crossing accuracy is one stat that I've not tracked yet. It happens to be Bannan's best. Nobody gets close to him in the squad. Albrighton 10 in 44. N'Zog 5 in 28. Holman 8/33.
Bannan's crossing is Beckham-esque. Since he is best in the PL by a mile, that is no wild comparison.
It's a scandal Lambert has so under-used him. Really, speechless.
