They should have been asking JJ how to counteract Arsenal, their corner routines are not so much about heading the ball as blocking the opposition. Watching Arsenal at a corner is like watching something out of an American Football playbook. All their players know exactly what they're doing, who they're taking out or which space they're protecting. Anyway, not something that will bother us next season.

Please let?s not go back to this again - we were zonalOriginally posted by The Bedlington Terrier View PostThe answer is simple but very hard to put into practice mon ami. Think of two big, physically strong lads who can jump high and head a ball while using their arms like helicopter blades.
Think Mee, Tarkowski, Collins, Brian Miller, Tommy Cummings mon ami, sadly we don't have that skill set, plus we had a two game rookie in the nets and the Arsenal lads pull out all the tricks which referees have shown a blind eye to all season long.
Marking and it was free header - he wasn?t marked and came on his own watching the delivery all the way onto his head - it was laughable I?m afraid not even contested by us.

Watch it Bt and slow it down if you can watch where havertz comes from - we are all stood in a line not really marking bodies just space - that?s the price you can pay for zonal - and as you reference a good delivery - they are a good side who have mastered the dark arts and well the premiership is corrupt anyway so who knows where that ends.Originally posted by The Bedlington Terrier View PostIf the zone you are referring to army88 is that little triangle that goes from the six yard box to the penalty spot is left unmarked then we are worse than I thought.
Fair do's though, the Gunners do take extremely accurate dead ball kicks.
You kind of have to admire though don?t you how they wrung every last drop out of set pieces.
