    I think weve been zonal marking for decades now. Strachan and MON were accused of it more than anyone.

    Jock Stein used zonal marking.

    When it works it's great, when it doesn't and fails it's a disaster. Man marking has less risk.

    The one thing from last night and the 1st leg was that for 2 of their goals from corners Virgil was blocked off, the ball was right in his area but shows how easily you could block one person off in zonal marking and get a free header.

    I would send John Kennedy back to the youth team. He's meant to be in charge of set pieces and we're * woeful at defending them.

    I'm saying that's the problem with zonal marking! If I'm in a zone and three guys run to my zone at speed it's hard to beat three men who have a running jump.
