I was really disappointed today when we go that one which was ideal for Nasri to hit that one to the far post that curls in to give the keeper nightmares and instead he played it short to Kolarov for a shot.Needless to say he didnt get a shot in.

You mean low crosses like we did against United at the swamp?
The issue with crosses is that more often than not the player who should be on the end of the cross actually contributed to the move a couple of passes before so is rarely in an advanced anough position to profit from the final ball. That is what Hernandez excels at, and what I thought we might get from Aguero, but he is playing more and more withdrawn as time goes by so we still need an out and out goal scorer to stand on the shoulder and occupy the last man.
No idea who would fit the bill though

Didn't Bob and the other staff member have any tactics at training for the pieces? In most of the times they look like they are executed chaotically.

I would prefer to not have a very good corner taker on the pitch if Kolarov is the option
