Players on posts from corners

Why don't we have a player on each post for oppositions corners?

It was only last week i was saying this, Oldham at home we only had Pearson on one and the other one was free. Pearson even moved from the back post to the front half way through the corner been taken.

Last night the second goal could have been avoided with a man on the back post.

A man on each post and man for man in the box if we have to bring a striker back then they come back Simples!!!

 

It is one of those things that is frustrating when you see a goal go in that a man on the post could have stopped, but I have seen surveys that suggest teams that do not put a man on the post concede less goals from corners in general. It's like the zonal/man marking argument, could go on for days.

 

I've just seen that second goal. OK if we don't put a man on each post then surely tightly marking opposing forwards is the least we can expect.
That Fleetwood forward had loads of room and far too much time in which to pick his spot. Poor effort all round.

I think I'd struggle to see such poor defending in a schoolboy game.

 

'Statistically correct' maybe but we are poor at defending so surely a man on each post and bring forward back if needs be..... worked for decades. Only rational for zonal marking is if you have a tall side who attack the ball, i personally hate zonal marking creates too many problems protect your goal and keeper if a keeper has 1 man on each post he can concentrate on middle of goal and positioning instead of marking 3/4 or all of net.


"To make it work, though, you need players to take responsibility for the zone they are marking".

Last night we had an extra man to mark up and there was still someone left unmarked at the back post.

Man on man marking = Simple attack the ball

Zonal = Attack if in your area (If inbetween areas becomes the problem) finger pointing etc...
