Zonal Marking...

[Groucho]

It most definitely is a major symptom of how poorly things are going.
He employed it last season and it failed, he changed things and we improved.
He's gone back to it and it's a disaster.

We should play, like, better lol

I remember when Everton meant solid at the back, rich history at this club of having quality defenders who excelled at defending, we’ve been a mesh since Moyes left really.

We won a lot of 1-nill during those days. Good call.

It's not the system. It's the players and the coaching. Done well, there's no issue with zonal. But we are thoroughly disorganised and no one actually wants to go and meet the ball to win the header. If a centre half doesn't show any aggression to want to win headers then there's no marking system in the world that could ever work.

A We cant do zonal marking
B We have crap defenders
C We havent got any creative midfielders

E We havent got the right balance of players to play as a team
F We havent got a team plan

Apart from that we are ok

I cant believe theres a thread on here blaming zomal marking

What next, the wind?

 

[TheBigIguana]

People love to blame zonal but today was the keeper missing a punch. That's an issue in any system. Bournemouth scored because DCL couldn't sort his feet and clear it. If it's man to man and the ball comes toward Dom we are still screwed. It's still individual mistakes.

 

[abelard]

no more zonal marking.

that's why I voted for Brexit.
