docspiderman 1,248 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Not everyone is marked though, they don't have 10 men up for the corner. Their guys are hanging outside the box and when we clear it, it falls to them and the pressure is still on. Forfar was a prime example. We cleared the ball to their team, and he put it in the top corner.I would have both wingers and Nicky Clark out for a start. Someone to clear it to and run with it. Hit the opposition on the counter. The ball fell to clark from a corner and he bolted away. He had to be brought down and it should have been a yellow but the ref was a bit wank today.I totally agree especially about the unmarked opponents outside the box waiting for a clearance or a cut back,for me this has been a problem for years. Leaving one man at the centre takes away at least 2 opponents which would give us an advantage defending corners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geronimoo 1,478 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 My pet hate is why the fuck they soak the pitch at Half Time, I can't see how having a wet ball is going to help with the passing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangersfc77 170 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 We were leaking goals when we did not have everyone behind the ball and Ally did say he was resorting to using it until his defence was sorted Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
left winger 14,360 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 No players left up front = ball comes back quicker. Seems fairly logical to leave at least one player up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimfanciesthedude 24,719 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I'm aware of what man-marking means....you have a man, you pick him up.if we are man marking then why do we have 2 on the post? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NixonRFC 1,391 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Ok.He clearly has everyone picking up a marker, with two on the line. They've two back.Eight are marking eight.How would you change it and who doesn't get marked?Its basic logic, if Rangers put two men up the park then the opposition will have at least two possibly 3.Years ago Italy were playing England, they were leading 1-0 and England put them under immense late pressure with plenty of corners, Dino Zoff the wily old fox took a midfielder off and put Fabrizio Ravanelli on and pushed him right up when they were defending the late corners, he knew that Ravanelli was such a goal threat that England woukd drop a couple of players back to cover him, with Del Piero also pushed up it forced England to drop more players back, with that it gave Italy a higher % of chance to win the ball and also gave them an outball too.

dummiesoot 16,036 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 The problem I have is that it can lead to not taking responsibility to attack the ball in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogzy 31,195 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 If we get into trouble with this tactic in the higher leagues, and Ally does not chage it, then ill have a moan.While we are winning 20 games in the bounce, and losing one goal a month on average, ill stick to " ally knows best" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgoalie 637 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 It is a ridiculous stategy to have no out ball at corners,when clearing the ball there is only one outcome,it will come straight back at you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
