Going to bump this because its really starting to annoy me although before anyone has a go I do appreciate there is little to be annoyed about this season.
Corners and zonal marking.
Nobody covers the back post. Every. Single. Time.
You can say if you want, yes but this season we have an excellent record at defending set pieces. But starting to be found out now and the goal we conceded on Monday was 100% preventable.
You could coach at primary school level and see the way we set up and try to play against it and its noticeable now that all opponents are stacking their forwards up at the far post where they have acres of space.
So does the tactic work? We look mostly organised and are good at snuffing out the chance but seem to be getting caught out a lot more in recent games. Surely its time to adapt this?
