Zonal marking

[OldNick]

Bin it, we let so many goals in from set pieces and so it doesn't suit us. We must have players who are asleep all the time, we have had at least 2 training ground goals against us

Their second today had nothing to do with the flaws of zonal marking.

Doesn’t matter what we do, zonal or man, we have no leader at back, no one to take it upon themselves to give Hoedt and other clowns a rollicking when they can’t just smash the ball into row Z. Simple.

To my mind zonal marking is a rigid form of defending and so it leaves the opposition easy planning how to set up for set pieces

Our players would struggle just as much with man marking. We are just terrible at defending.
