lately i have come accross alot of people, and i mean ALOT of people doing one thing, Crossing. They cross the ball in almost throughout the 90 minutes thats the only thing they do, just run on the flanks and give a cross and then they have at all striker upfront like Adebayour and he wins all the headers easily and scores.

I was playing against Arsenal and the guy did this throughout the game he hardly had any possession in the middle of the park. I lost 5-1. How do you defend this? I know you could just try to stop the crosses coming in but the thing is i was using LA galaxy and their defenders arent as fast as evra and others in 5 star teams so if im out of position his players were able to get crosses in easily also as adebayour is so tall he hardly missed any header. Any advice on how to cope up with this?

Secondly, Now how do you do this? How do you give a good cross and when do you head it? I usually never, NEVER cross the ball in because i feel scoring from crosses is just too hard and i like to buildup and find space and score but as the guy who beat me did it so easily im thinking its a good tactic if you learn it right so can you guys tell me how to score from crosses too? Also what should my controller settings be for crossing? Manual? Semi? or Assisted ?
