I'm sure that the players are told to do that Shyte in the box. I doubt any player would do it willingly.Quote:

One of my favourite tactical moves was by the Barcelona team with Ronaldinho, Etoo & some other gadgie up front (I'm sure it had been done before but it was the first time I ever saw it). At defensive corners, they let all 3 o them stay up near the halfway line. Opposition team kept their whole defence back; lot less chaos in the box and seemed to me like corners were easier to deal with. I'm sure 'the data' shows that cramming the box with abody gives you a 5% better chance at defending or whatever, but that data is clearly nae applicable to our lot. So I'm completely on your side for this issue wi defending corners.Quote:

Im not a tactical expert by any stretch of the imagination but it seems a lot of the goals we concede are down to players errors.
You could leave 3 players up the pitch and have man marking instead of zonal marking at set pieces but if players make mistakes then we will still concede goals.
Then it would be the players to blame, rather than the manager.
Too many teams are just lobbing it into our box without having to worry about their end of the pitch. Jimmy has to realise that theyre sh1te too
When Allan Hale was Maroons? manager, he would leave our striker Mike Ewen on the centre spot, with his wingers on the touchline on the centre line, meaning that opponents had to leave three - sometimes four - defenders in their own half. Pioneer.Quote:

And you?re still a zoomer min.

It's only lazy players like Johnny Hayes or Barry Nicholson who take longer than six weeks to hit the ground running.
It must be the way things are done in Aberdeen nowadays?half @rsed and lazy. The football club is the laziest in Scotland. Can?t be bothered to employ a hard working manager, can?t be bothered working on set plays, can?t be bothered employing hard working players, can?t be bothered building an indoor training pitch, can?t be bothered building a new stadium, can?t be bothered spending their own wealth to improve everything, can?t be bothered competing for the competition?s they are in, can?t be bothered serving up decent matchday food for the fans, can?t be bothered being good to the fans and most alarming of all?can?t be bothered winning matches.Quote:
