    I agree with hammer, too much is made out of this.
    The zonal marking system that we have means we do man mark attackers but only if they are in your zone. This means if loovens is marking someone at the front post and they decide to go to to the back post via the 18yard line then loovens aint getting dragged into places he doesnt want to be, the attacker will be man marked but it just means different people will be responsible for picking him up as he moves thro the zones, i dont think there are many top sides that dont use this system.

    People must be mean on set-pieces? Teams always defence with zonal Marking with 4-4-2, but you can make a exception with set-pieces.

    Man marking could be good as back-up, but keep playing with zonal marking as a starting point.
