Wasnt Silva critized over zonal marking at corners when he was here. Wonder if he is still doing it? Might be an answer to our problem but unlikely given the prevalence of the man marking that I see on PL highlights.
Yes but there are lots of examples at corners where there are clear penalties that are not given. Its about time that the leagues clamped down on it otherwise its a question of do it and not get caught or give the opposition a clear advantage.
I seem to remember Everton and Watford both conceded a lot of goals from set-pieces under Silva. Dunno about Fulham.
There's always pushing and shoving, but yesterday Greaves almost had the Birmingham player's shirt off his back! He made no attempt to play the ball either. When we got corners yesterday there was jostling in their box, but nothing so blatant
Supposedly Pep uses a zonal marking system when in defensive mode and positional when in attack,. Bielsa also, see-.https://allstatsarentwe.medium.com/...-marcelo-bielsas-defensive-system-e497dc7bcd8 Not sure whether this includes corners. Need to take a look at some of those amazing Man City highlights to check. Sent this also to Acun and Daws just in case they are both too busy to spend their usual couple of hours reading not606 to get the usual brilliant ideas on player selection and tactics etc

I can remember Maguire giving a penalty away after about 5 minutes .Think he was playing right back against Palace,
isn’t this why we have full team of coaches? Honestly I see zero learning & devolpment in this group of players It’s almost Sunday league… turn up lunch time…same as last week fellas…off we go
A lot of people moaning about Pelkas watced the highlights after watching most of the game. We had 3 clear cut chances in the first half. Pelkas set up 2 of them one for Docherty and the other for Christie who shot and missed instead of returning the ball to Pelkas He was involved in the third with a nicely placed corner at the near post
What’s worse is we now go in at half time a goal down which again was a poor goal to concede, we created virtually nothing and most people think we were good.
I have to wonder, would Hannibal and Chong be getting so much praise from our fans if they had normal hair? Best players to come here all season or just good players with an appearance that makes them noticeable? Hmmm.
