Im afraid it?s not as easy a fix as stopping zonal marking or leaving players up front and all of a sudden we will start beating Celtic.
Im not saying it is. Im saying by bringing everyone back in the box theyre making it easier. You can only control what you can and man marking, leaving a player up & putting players on the posts makes it harder. Theyll still score off them from time to time but at least we wont have served it up to them in a wee bow

It?s the same with playing it out from the back. Its crazy. Its much easier to do a high press against poor footballers than it is for poor footballers to play their way though a high press.
