Zonal marking works! Full stop. You only need players with an IQ higher then 70! Keane Zouma and co haven't a combined IQ of 70

Disagree. About zonal marking...

Intelligence however is a major factor as is tactical blocking & tactical marking...

The players we have can be trained to a higher standard & show improvement this is where the coach does his job...

Everton are joint top of the Premier League in a very unwanted category - goals conceded from setpieces.

The number currently stands at 10, and after the Blues conceded three more of that variety at Championship bottom-feeders Millwall to crash out of the FA Cupand effectively end the 2018-19 season.

Its not the system as thats used by many teams, it the fact that our players cannot grasp it or switch off. I do believe it takes time to work on it though. We tend to get punished at the second ball mostly

Just winning free-kicks and lumping the ball in

Won’t be a problem, winning free kicks with this absolutely dead headed lot giving totally Un necessary fouls away !

Fair enough peanut.
Poor snowflakes can't take 20 mins 'boring' practice, not that it looks like they get 20secs under Silva.

Why play a high press on the edge of your 18 yd. box, when, from the position of the freekick, you know its aimed at the corner of the 6 yd box.
Result; our players going backwards, theirs going forward .
Q) Now which direction is it easier to head a ball again? Running/going forwards or going backwards.
