Are there any examples of a team that does zonal marking well?

Aye, one of them got 100 points last year and the other one is currently top, having conceded 10 league goals all season.

There must be. I don't know any but I'm not up on that sort of thing. I just know I don't like it.

The number of supposedly 'top' managers who have their teams attempting it, yet always conceding soft goals. There must be some teams somewhere that do it, we just don't hear about them 'cos they're not turd at it??

I mean, they've spent about a billion on defenders between them, if they couldn't make it work...

As with everything its about the quality of player and organisation. I have no real preference to either system as they can both be successful when done right.

Kenny has a great delivery, but he really struggles to get into positions to deliver the ball. I see him as little more than a squad player unless he learns to become more crafty on the ball and get into those positions.

really like Jonjoe and reckon he's got a big future at Everton. Obviously he's not going to start ahead of Seamus but he's a fabulous player to have as a back-up.
I only hope some of the big teams aren't focussing their beady eyes on him!!

In conflating joyous panglossianism with WUMing, might I have the temerity to suggest you're being overly cynical, dear Nyms?.

Rest assured I was being earnestly serious...ergo, you shouldn’t take that seriously lol
It’s all a bit ‘Alice through the looking glass’ isn’t it?
