HAKIM ZIYECH - IF THE PLAN IS TO CROSS THEN THERE'S NONE BETTER THAN THE WIZARD!!
We have seen it throughout this season that Frank prefers to play it wide and bomb in crosses. The issue is that the quality of the crosses is generally poor.

Off a throw-in from the left. Generally, the opposition does not expect a cross from that far out. Opposition sitting deep is caught flat-footed. This is where late runs from midfield will pay dividends.

This time on the right. He has the skill to take on his man and then hold the ball up for the runners to join the play. From there you simply cannot stop the inevitable.

Even when you have defenders packed in the box, he has the ability to create chaos by delivering the cross in the area of uncertainty. Defenders are simply baffled by these types of deliveries.

Exhibit 5:
Short corners to Ziyech? Sure why not!! His low back lift allows him to snapshot a cross from literally anywhere. This becomes a huge problem for the opposition defenders as they are never prepared for it.

Exhibit 6:
Deep from midfield? Sure why not!! He has all the variations all across the field. He isn't one dimensional that he has to deliver the cross from one particular place. He can pretty much hurt you from anywhere....
Frank for sure can't wait for this wizard!!
