Another set piece goal at the weekend. Very familar pattern is emerging, ball into the near post and flick across the goal with the ball nestling in at the back post. We can argue the merits of man or zonal marking forever, but what about sticking a man on the back post if not both posts? I don't see how one man on the back post would effect man marking or zonal marking. That's Spurs, Villa and West Ham all scored the same goal against us.
With the current zonal marking regime one thing is imperative, get Torres off the front post. He likes a header at the goal but he's not up for the defensive side. I'd have Kyut where Torres is at present and I'd have Mascherano who is never going to win a header on the back post.
