Agreed. Given Fulham are sooo deep we can try shooting just outside the box. I mean, just once.

The problem with constant crossing is that we don't have great crossers, if that's your only game plan then why waste money on mata?!
Sometimes i feel that moyes doesn't know what he wants anymore.

Get Valencia on Moyesy 
If I see more crosses, then I'm gonna murder something!
Moyes won't get fired today, but the decision to fire him at the end of the season may be made in the aftermath of this game.
Even if we grind out the win we've been dreadful and all responsibility for this game and for this season has to fall on the manager. This cannot stand.
It'd have been truly one sided if we created chances after chances but when you think there wasn't many of them. Having vast amount of possessions for little chances created is basically pointless.
Where's Cleverley? His crosses usually go into the goal from time to time anyways.
Take Young the feck off and put Januzaj in.
Moyes's "tactics" are an absolute shambles to be honest. We have players like Mata and Rooney, yet he insists on crossing the ball into the box with about 6 defenders in there. Really wish we could play some good football instead of relying on wing play so much. Mata is doing well but its clear he probably would be better on the left wing or through the middle.

Seems the players know that the only thing they are still in is getting David Moyes fired.
Let's be honest. Fulham should be 2-0 up.
Fewer crosses there.
Is that Phelan?
Come back, Mike!
Come back, Mike!
Valencia is going to come on isn't he? When that happens I think I will go insane
Even Paddy Crerand has said we need to find another way to get through them. I don't like the idea of the crowd turning on him, but in a way it is them who are saving his job.
Sad thing is we're going to try to break this record every game for the rest of the season.
Our game plan is cross the ball and hope for a lucky bounce in the box. fecking prehistoric.
How many crosses to the box? Anyone got the stats?
Apparently we're playing no different than we did under SAF the past few years.
Because they're still crossing the ball as we speak.
So, Fulham pack 6-7 players in the box once our wingers make their runs. Yep, crossing the ball in is definitely going to work.
46 crosses in the first half
YESSSSSSSS
YESSSSSSSS
Dear me this gets more depressing every week.
46 crosses! 
Rooney has been average
Mata has been average
we're shit
Moyes is shit
feck my life
its all doom and gloom
I want to die
Mata has been average
we're shit
Moyes is shit
feck my life
its all doom and gloom
I want to die
For Mata too.
46 crosses
46 crosses
46 crosses fourty six
If at first you don't succeed, hit 45 more crosses and go for the record.

I really want us to win, but if we sneaked this Moyes would see it as justification for our tactics.

Please come out after half time and occasionally try and work the ball through the center. If anything it may just be so unexpected that Fulham forget that they have to defend that sort of attack
46 LOOOOOOOOOOL

Nearly a cross per minute. We played like this under fergie my arse.
Yeah but where is Einstein now? Dead.
The first is fighting for crosses with a 6'7'' CB and the other is whipping crosses in. You blame them?
Its fecking ridiculous how unsuited our players are to the system we employ.
I'm not even blaming the players anymore. They are told to play this way.
Mata is a good crosser. Its just that we are crossing from either bad positions or from a very slow predictable piece of play. A league one defense could handle what we are doing.
We miss Fellaini and Valencia, these players are instrumental for us to play the Moyesy way.
This. I love Fletch, but he's lacking sharpness and it shows. Found lingering on the ball to long a number of times. He's good at getting stuck in, but it's clear we don't really need that in the next 45 minutes. We need someone who can do something with the ball. Kagawa is alot more mobile than Fletcher too, so we probably wouldn't keep getting twatted on the counter as you see Carrick and Fletcher huffing and puffing to catch up.
