Kanadyan Kanary 129 Posted September 21, 2021 Agreed... he's been doing it for four years with the same results. Nothing has changed, at least we had the excuse of injuries to hide behind in the last PL campaign. Zonal marking, 70 minute subs and a Top Championship Manager but abject failure in the PL. That's Farke's legacy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petriix 3,219 Posted September 21, 2021 The zonal bit is fine. It's the marking bit that's going wrong. Hanley and Gibson just stand there and let them nip in and score. It's not really the system, just the application. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then if the application of the system cannot be achieved after years of trying, isn’t it the manager’s responsibility to find a system that his players can execute. How a striker gets a free header on the 6 yard box when we are playing 3 centre backs is something I don’t get. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bristol Nest 597 Posted September 21, 2021 Its the free headers etc that makes me question the current zonal approach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,610 Posted September 21, 2021 I think they are taking it too literally. They are in their zones, they just are not reacting at all to the attacking players or challenging for the ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
