bluenose48 951 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Regardless of whether the OP is a fud or a comedian he is right about zonal marking. Basic defending 1:01 stay between your man and the goal and don't allow him any space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jelavic191 4,399 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I think he's very much improved our defence on set pieces. I'm not a big fan of zonal marking myself but every time a corner came in under Warburton there was a good chance it was going in the back of the net. Now i feel far more confident that we will be able to defend it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonights a perfect example, 3 players left up field & defenders marking thier zone on the 6yrd line while leaving a huge space on the 18yrd line for Aberdeen to pick up every 2nd ball Spot on mate.Allows their players a free run at the ball hence gathering a greater momentum plus unopposed possession on any ball knocked out our box.We had a zone on our 6 yard box,3 forwards on the half way line and fuck all in between. Still we don't have all the fancy coaching badges so what do we know eh?!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Warburton we man marked and how many times did we talk about players losing their man. You can't lose a zone however. The only issue is that opposition players get the run on our defence and therefore carry more momentum with a running jump rather than a standing jump. Ideally we'd have defenders who had good positional awareness, the ability to mark and the ability to challenge mid air and win the ball.

the_r_sole 366 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 How many goals have we conceeded as a direct result of zonal marking, and how many have been down to individual errors (or a series of)? (And given the ability of the players to track runners in open play, what suggests they could actually man mark anyone?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogtanian 252 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Pedro is a madman if he thinks this is the way to defend. Watching us last night, McKay and Dodoo on the wings and Garner in the middle, 3 players taken out the equation already. And don't forgot all the sheep players lurking outside the box ready to pick up any loose balls without a Rangers player on them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
West_Side 1,571 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 We were terrible at defending set pieces when we did man mark and we're still pretty bad now we do zonal marking. Seems to me that the marking style probably isn't the issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,526 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Zonal and man both have positives and negatives. Mind several times in recent years seeing players getting blocked off from their man resulting in goals scored against a man marking system. Players with height and strength and that can head a ball are the important thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
