Been away since boxing day, so taped the games and higlights and watching them now. Just watching the full Wolves game, and listening to them talking about our Zonal Marking at half time. Just wondering what were peoples thoughts on this, with their being so much debate about liverpools policy of zonal marking.

It was discussed at length on here after the Wolves game.
Some said it wasn't working for Liverpool and it was pointed out that it's a system that Benitez has used for years and Liverpool before this season conceded very few.
In conclusion, zonal works well so long as every player concentrates and takes his responsibility

Very true. I've heard people say before that it's obviously the best way to defend set pieces but requires a high level of concentration and intelligence from the players doing it. The main problem is that when it goes wrong you look like a bunch of arses.

It's been sucessful in 2 games so far but I'll reserve judgement until we play a decent side.

Ah ok...sorry, was away so didn't really get a chance to read all the threads! Ye...hopefully it will work, I like the fact that we have changed a few things about, shows Mancini is a guy with his very own tactical ideas, with this being implemeneted, and the change of formation early in the Wolves game, all good signs.

Teams don't come much stronger in the air than Stoke

I'd normally agree but not sure whether they are that strong in the air without Delap for the throws?!?
It could just be that the system works ;-)
