Corners

[AlwaysAVFC]

I actually have no idea how we are set up for these. I read about use using zonal, then I read it's man to man - problem is it looks like it's neither.

18 months ago, this was our strong point, now it's our downfall.  I might be nieve, but what happened to you have him, you have him and then one on each post - the flippin basics.

Sky at the weekend couldn't make their mind up either. You had Alan Smith saying the faults of Zonal Marking for Liverpools goal then Redknapp in the studio at half time saying it wasn't Zonal but Man marking. What ever were doing its Shit.
Here's hoping the team play a bit more confidently after last night, which may give the defence a bit more confidence as they won't be under siege for most of the 90 minutes which has been the case for a lot of this season (this isn't a dig at tactics just we've been awful and hardly kept possesion much)

The problem is, in training, we probably practice these, but because we're crap at attacking corners the defenders who have to defend them, don't get any pressure put on them, so that's why we're crap at defending them

I just wish we would stop conceding from set pieces they need to work harder on the training ground.

I love that quote - (dont know who actually said it) , "we will start marking zonally when zones score goals"

It seems like the players haven't got a clue if there man marking or zonal, but players like Dunne, Collins and Cuellar, they are supposed to be dominating centre half's who should be commanding the box.
