This zonal marking is working well

When is this zonal marking shite going to end??????????? How long does it take for them to realise it just doesn't work!! Nearly 2-0 from another set piece. If we're beat tonight, he's got to walk!!!

considering that literally no team has ever conceded a goal from man to man i agree

So, by that, I presume you think it works? We've conceded more goals from set-pieces than ANY other team in the prem!! You work it out!

Arsenal need to sort thsi out or we'll have to listen to the media going on about the fancy foreigners not fnacying it on a cold Tuesday night in Bradford.

Which of course would be the truth...

Possibly but I don't want those pricks ramming it down my throat

[Dan_85]

Sideways, Backwards, Sideways, Sideways, Zzzzzzz.....

[Rob Admin]

Even I did not think we could fuck this one up but this team never fails to surprise me.

Just when you think it cabn''t get any shitier....

[Natural Born Gooner]

These 2 jokers commentating on beIN Sports are just making this match even more worse than it should be.

We'll win (hopefully) but it'll be messy

[clockender1]

BBC text is lying - says we are at full strength. not with Ramsay and Gervinho in the team...

"sacked in the morning" - can't ever ever remember that being sung at an Arsenal manager - not even at wrexham under GG..

getting the run around by a third division team. pitiful.

i'm starting to understand how spuds fans feel.

useless *word censored* in charge.

[goonertux]

Ramsey down the wing...........chance to cross............kicks it against his own foot for a goal kick!!!!! JESUS!!!

[_James_]

Ramsey is awful, if he was better we could loan him back to Cardiff to get experience and confidence.

[Peeman]

When Cazorla came first he used to take a shit load of shots in every game - That didn't last long did it.


Ramsey is

we would concede more playing man to man. it's not the system, it's the lack of discipline from the people implimenting it.
man to man you have to react to attacking movement, if you have defenders who are slow to react or are prone to lose concentration(ie our whole team), man to man is suicide.
if you impliment zonal, then at the very least you know your players will be starting in the position you (as coach) feel they'll have the best chance to defend the set piece.
if they STILL get sucked out of position (sagna for bradford's goal) there's not a lot you can do.

if you have a defence and midfield full of switched on, intelligent players that can anticipate movement and react in an instant, man to man would work.

my main problem is people blindly and boringly parroting what pundits say without actually thinking it through

No wonder he looks knackered

Eh? Did he suffer with IBS?!

[Rob Admin]

Where is Walcott, is he really injured or is Wenger treating him like a naughty boy over his contract? I don't remember the mad bastard doing that with RvP....
