Yes, a zonal system can result in players not marking players. But you can't use a man system if you have a small team. For that matter, man marking systems can draw players out of position. So if a team doesn't use either system correctly there'll always be a free man in a penalty area.

Every time I hear "The problem with zonal marking is..." I just cringe. It's lazy criticsm. Lots of teams mark zonally and barely concede from set pieces. But one team does it and concedes and suddenly the whole system is shit.

Personally I think there should be a mixture of the two. You put your best defenders on the biggest threats, then the rest mark zonally.

And that is what nearly any team does anyway.

Did the no.5 cause another penalty? Either way Guidolin should be sacked for still playing this scrub.

Swansea play good football, should at least stick with the manager until the end of the year. They played well against us and got screwed by refball against Liverpool.

by Art Morte Sat Oct 01, 2016 10:25 am

A bit lucky to win with a penalty, but I thought it was one. We got much more luckier when that scrub CB missed that sitter in the end.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Oct 01, 2016 10:26 am

Problem is they have little to no change of pace in the final third and little quality to subside it.

They can play all the good football they like but with the players they have they won't do much.

by Nishankly Sat Oct 01, 2016 10:27 am

3 points, Well in.

That was hard work but that's why the premier league is the best league in the world. Liverpool flying Swansea at the bottom but on the day gave as good as they got. GOAT league :bow:
