Silva explained that his coaching team's homework and his defensive set up was perfect, but individual errors cost the goal. - https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/spo...ws/marco-silva-defends-zonal-marking-15744307
Not once there has he actually said the system is perfect.
He's said that for it to work - for any system to work - the players need to be switched on. He's 100% correct.
Those quotes are from the presser and were in response to someone mentioning Carragher's comments that zonal marking works if the players are aggressive.

Managerial waffle? You mean things coaches have said that have flown in the face of what you think is right?

"To be clear, when you ask me about zonal marking you are asking about free-kicks also?" he said.
"Because we conceded our first goal from a free-kick (on Saturday) and you don't see one club going man to man at those situations.
"If I remember correctly maybe one club in the Premier League does that. Normally we don't do it and 99 per cent of clubs in the Premier League don't do it.
"But to be clear, whether you use man to man or play zonal marking, what you need to do differently is you have to be more aggressive, which is something we didn't do in the last game.
"We have to be more aggressive."
"When we lost that first ball from the free-kick, our player fighting for the ball with the Millwall central defender was Mina - our tallest player on the pitch.
We knew the Millwall No.5 would attack the ball which is why we put Mina in that position. Mina was there, but he lost.
"Of course we then had to prepare to be more aggressive for the second ball and that moment is more a matter of focus. It is clear if you play man to man or zonal and if you don't have the right focus you can forget it.
"We lost the first challenge with our tallest man on the pitch.
"We need focus, concentration and to be more aggressive. What I am 100 per cent sure is that they (Everton players) knew everything about the opponents and what they would do in that moment. They had all the details about our opponents.
"Zonal marking we do, and sometimes one or two players go man to man. That's what we did with Millwall, with Mina going man to man with one player and Gylfi going man to man with the other.
"Free-kicks are a little different.
"We do something different at free-kicks with some man-to-man also. Of course when something happens, and if you look at all the set pieces on Saturday, it wasn't just our first ball. They scored in second moments also, which meant we lost the first ball and lost concentration on the second."

Youve just quoted some random nonsense from managers...anyone can do that...what relevance is it?
Youve then linked the echo with a false claim about a Silva quote...
Come on man.
Klopp 1st season 8th
Silva 2pts off 8th.
FGS man

Youre right, they had better players.
Nope.
I'm not saying @zzr45 is lying, it looks like the Echo have used it as a lead in. But that's very different than what the quotes actually say.

Ended with 60 points too. Over to you Marco.
Mina's 'attempt' at a challenge for their first goal was dead funny.
He's absolutely right in what he says. He can organise them and tell them what to do but its up to them to be able to react to the situation and do the right thing. If they don't, then its the managers fault because its zonal apparently. If it was man marking the player would be blamed.
