Great picture Thorney, and absolutely spot on! Talk about shooting yourselves in the foot.
See more organised defending on Western parkCriminal defending!!

I'm a hater of zonal marking, but maybe in a very good defence and everyone knowing their job and a coach who can implement it, it could work. We actually don't have the ingredients for a start, if ever it was going to work for us. Pig headedness seems to be the problem.Isn't the saying that doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome is the definition of madness ? To stick with zonal marking when it obviously doesn't work is indeed madness. I don't really care what he tries at the moment, man to man or leave some forwards up front to reduce the mayhem in our box and give defenders a chance to man mark BUT I want to see an alternative approach
That’s exactly what Rodgers needs to forgetPeople tend to forget him and Vardy are the mouthpieces of the club so they have a lot of power.
Shared bodily heat, it was very chilly on Sunday
You do realise that was our corner
I hope this doesn’t come as a shock Daz, but your wrong.You do realise that was our corner
Sack the cvnt..NOW!!!!
My apologies like you say I was wrong. I just looked at the villa players and it looked like they were defending instead of attacking. That picture says a lot it's why Kasper isn't confident with his defence.I hope this doesn’t come as a shock Daz, but your wrong.
It’s exactly what Thorney says it is, it’s the free kick leading to their equaliser.
Indeed. And as for lack of discipline (and mentioned elsewhere leadership) look too at Villa's first goal. Apart from our keeper not coming to claim the ball from Evans' initial header (well, he came and stopped when he saw Konsa standing there but should have ran through him, any foul and it is Konsa on Kasper for obstruction) - this after giving Wilf a nudge out the way as if to say "it's mine" then stopping thereby compromising Wilf's chances of getting out to Cash - KDH, Barnes & Thomas react like kittens chasing light reflecting from a CD. Barnes was clearly the one in best position to get out to Cash but it was a tough ask, Thomas gets into a reasonable position as a result but then doesn't react when the ball goes the other way, KDH though runs around Benduia & gets into an awful position, taking himself out of the game completely. Soyuncu's reaction to the Evans' header is better, he moves across into the right area... only then to follow the kitten-light example when the header goes back across and ends up marking Evans when the header towards goal comes in (actually standing behind him). Really just panic and more reminiscent of park football.Other teams use zonal marking but ours don't seem to jump to head away...soyuncu didn't even know who was behind him....I don't know if Thomas was shouting at him to make him aware. But there seems to be a lack of discipline on defending at present.
Another problem for me is everyone back in the area , when we do manage to clear it it comes straight back...we need to leave 2/3 players up to give the oppo something to think about.
I hope this doesn’t come as a shock Daz, but your wrong.

He’s behind you!Criminal defending!!

That's the mix of zonal and man-to-man. Thomas is marking Mings but loses him as Mings pushes off him and uses KDH as a block taking Thomas, trying to recover, into Castagne & Evans who are following the ball. It should be Evans' ball... well, he does win it but because he is too busy fighting 2 of our own he gets it all wrong!
It is shocking and has been happening for too long and its took the shambles on Sunday for Rodgers to say he was going to address it!Those photos above are truly shocking.
How can any football coach possibly survive these photos?
How can any coach or manager explain away whats going on here?
