This is how I think of crossing areas, of course there's different types of crosses within this but this is how I always summarise it so thought I'd share
Okay as this has gained traction I've collected these last 30-40 crosses for each of these players to compare
Trent Alexander Arnold
His is obvious and lines up with what I said. He loves to cross from deep positions, doesn't tend to take on players but receives in space and gets the ball in early. Some deeper crosses but maintains his width and

Kyle Walker
The best way to characterise his crossing might be from 6 yards out. Able to use his pace to drive to the byline but usually crosses at the 6 yard line. He crosses from wide but I pick his area as he gets into cutback positions the most

Reece James
Lines up really well with my original graphic and likes to cross once he's passed the 18 yard line. Very happy with this one
