our defence is dismal get rid of the lot of em and start again. No zonal marking please.

Serious temptation just to copy and paste the paragraph about zonal marking in my earlier post.

Hint: If the ball basically goes through two players, then the zonal marking system worked cos they were in the right place. The players just forgot the part where they have to actually clear it.

Wouldn't argue about recruiting new defenders though.

RUSH1972,what KLOPP should be telling them is, when the ball becomes DEAD, the whole team should be ALIVE.

Excellent response wembley 78.

wembley - the issue is that if they need telling, they aren't good enough by half.

The issue is you can tell someone something endlessly but if they don't have the natural aptitude or game reading they aren't going to change. No matter how much lipstick you slap on that pig it is still a porker.

Irrespective of whether you zonal mark or man mark, if Benteke is given the space he was then zonal or man marking has no relevance.

It is not the first time Benteke has scored against us and or any other team man marking!

Our defenders need to start focusing instead of watching the ball.

FRESHST, I get your point but if they don't have the aptitude or the ability to read the game, well we'd all have to come to the conclusion that they've been conning a living from the game and the sooner there chased from our club the better. they all seem to have the aptitude when there negotiating a new contract. or is that me being a cynic.

Could it be that there is to much organisation and rigid structure at set pieces.
Zones don't score goals players do.

If a player runs into your zone and leaps for the ball his momentum from the run gives him the advantage over you jumping from a standing position.

Wembley not really cynical at all but that is why they have agents and in some cases the agents did superb jobs to get them where they are.

Dermot that is a good point and if you watch the headed goals Arsenal conceded a couple of games ago it was exactly that, attackers had momentum and defenders aren't going to out jump that. As others have said that doesn't change with the system it changes with basics. If players are standing ball watching, which is a problem then system isn't relevant. You could be holding a zone and still make the run and powerful jump to clear it.
