cushynumber 25,178 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 They mentioned it on sky then at the first corner dembele had a free header and I thought "fuck sake". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Williamson. 82,205 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I can only assume we were doing it the full 90 minutes because we certainly weren't pressing or man marking Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unreal, the cunt has 2 goals this season against us from corners and we're leaving him unmarked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_r_sole 366 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 It's no worse than thinking any of those cunts could actually man mark someone! Unless you can get everyone to concentrate when the ball's coming in, no marking system will work Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's becoming more relevant in England but that's because of the refs clamping down on holding in the box.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,722 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Thought it looked awful at the game. The highlights there showed it to be worse. At least 4 free headers, we got lucky they never took advantage. It's not a good idea in the slightest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right but it didn't help we lined up with a midfield 3 to their 5. He lad to set the team up to match them the day and faild to do that.

esquire8 42,708 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Don't know if you guys remember our defending at set pieces from the rest of the season before Pedro took over but we were car crash material with man marking. Zonal marking is slightly better for us with the shite 11 we can choose for now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,435 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 It can work if you have a few good players in the air that will do their best to attack the ball. When you have our players what you get is people not taking any responsibility and hoping someone else will make the effort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our players looked like they thought their zone extended only to the bit of pitch they were standing on. Barely even moved to challenge. Car crash defending.

Not a fan at all. They had at least 3 or 4 half chances from corners where we stood off them and let them have a free run and jump. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our main problem was width and an out ball IN the 1st half, even when we went forward Our fullbacks were left ISolated and had to turn back as none of the forwards or midfielders ran INto to wide channels to give them an option. With the way we were set up their midfield should never have had time on the ball, upfront Garner and Waggy are two lazy fecks that should be run ragged at training all week to remind them how lucky they are being at The Rangers. The zonal marking worked or we got away with IT as they never scored and the header they did get from thevedge of the box was never going to bither Wes. I dont like IT for reasons others have given.
