Thing I find with zonal marking, if you know the opposition are doing it then surely every corner you just make sure all your players flood one particular area and overwhelm the defender and take most of the defenders out of the equation. Then you're just relying on a player who can hit a particular area consistently from the cross.

And with man-marking doing stuff like the bus stop to block their defenders and enable your better headerers a chance to get on the cross.

Lati literally never does it unless forced, and it limits us in possession on his side

What makes you say they were incredibly bad?

That was exactly my point.

The both consistently attempted to carry the ball out and then lost it.
Woolf put at least 3, 5 yards passes straight to their players and was bailed out by his teammates.

Their attempted long distribution was often ponderous and poor too. FL also called out the defence for being ponderous and poor on the ball in his post match debrief.

You've just described the whole basis of Arsenal's corner strategy.

We zonal mark - it was Simms at fault

Silly guy forgot he was meant to be defending section B, subsection 3 of the 6 yard box and picked section C instead.
