His crossing has always been like that but he was outside the field during 15-16, so everyone was expecting a new Ibanez. His crossing from the deeper positions is not good, but when we are talking about crossing which comes from the full sprint or in the parallel with the striker, he is class. Of course, there are still some poor examples of it but we can't really expect from the side back to be a 100% successful.
It's not noticeable only in the last few months, he's been quite good since he became a starter. Problem is that we were quite disfunctional and limited without Kanga and Hugo in the end of 2016, so Andjelkovic was hitting a big amount of crosses, which perhaps was a part of the plan. We knew that some of them are gonna be inaccurate, but at the same time, we knew that at least one of them is gonna be a top class. All in all, inaccuracy wasn't only on him.
He was even taking a corner kicks at the one point.
Some of worse examples, especially from the last season and Lalatovic era, came from a quantity of his crosses. When you don't know what to do with the ball, give it to Andjelkovic and he is gonna send it into the penalty area. Sometimes he is unprecise due a lack of support around him - he doesn't have another option and he hits the cross. He is limited player when he doesn't have a big amount of space, so that is an only option for him.
I need to say that he became a totally injury prone player, since the league game vs Cukaricki a few months ago. He's made a totally unlogical penalty, and since that moment, he's made a mistake vs Vozdovac, unnecessary penalty vs Irtish and two mistakes against Rad yesterday. It's not a quality wise, these mistakes are totally unnecessary and I have no idea what's going on with him.
