Fair enough, the whole European campaign has been wiped from my mind.

How many goals did we concede from corners last season? Doubt more than 5.
IIRC Ajax managed 3 in two games.

Also i think Ajax made 2 goals, because of Zonal marking if i remember correct.
One was quiet similar to the one Cavani did for Napoli

The biggest impact Mancini had in his first season was the simplest thing he ever did: go zonal. When Hughes was manager it felt at times like the opposition scored from every set piece. He was committed to man marking and it was a total shambles.

Great stat.
I think zonal does work but in big games with pressure a player can get anxious. I'm searching for reasons because it seems that in big games we are open to it. Run of the mill game in the prem it seems sound. Odd really. The Cavani goal was atrocious defending.

Re: Pellegrini is the new manager (Malaga Newspaper reports) 3.
But was that individual error, rather than the system itself? We had the best defensive record three seasons running. For all Mancini's faults he deserves credit for that, and zonal marking was a significant factor.
I have no preference either way, but it seemed like people used it as an easy brush to tar us with. Just because it's alien to washed out pundits who have an English approach to defending doesn't mean it was necessarily wrong. Don't have the stats to hand, but would be interested to see if teams going man for man conceded less from set pieces.

Interesting , Ric... have you data to back this?
how do these data compare to other clubs using a similar system?
