Dawson scores. Purple patch for him xD 

No marking.

Just don't understand why teams would rather zonal mark than man mark.

Everton were doing it yesterday.

Origi came off then all of a sudden we had some creativity up front. Imagine that.

I mean, he wasn't involved in either I don't think, but we did score two while he was in the pitchxD

We've done it all season. Conceded the most from set-pieces than any other side. It's utter shite.

Nat phillips has looked solid when ever he’s played.

Don’t want to see Williams playing over him again.

To be fair I think he was off eating his packed lunch when both were scored.

Most teams do a mix of both these days. What's so good about man marking anyway?

Next Sunday's game just got bigger.

Liverpool back in form and Man City in hot form anyway. Liverpool winning that blows the title race wide open.

We’ve scored with Martial on the pitch as well. It means nothing :ph34r:

What's so shite about it? Just like the man marking system, it relies on the individual doing their job..

Feel like I've gone back 12 years to when Benitez was at Liverpool herexD

There’s no way in hell he could have provided that bit of composure and quick feet that Firmino showed for the third goal. 
 

i mean don’t like shitting on Origi because he’s a cult hero and scored some big goals but he’s not very good.

Firmino came on for Shaqiri though. Probably happens whether it's Origi or Chamberlain on the pitch

That second goal is a thing of beauty, Salah at his best, sometimes his first touch lets him down but that was perfect the pass then the touch and finish.

I actually missed the sub so wasn’t sure who Firmino replaced.  But you’re right there i was a bit harsh on origi.

All three Liverpool goals were top quality.

But that second goal, Trent's pass, Shaqiri's pass and the touch and finish from Salah, in those fucking wet conditions with a keeper charging out, is just...fuck it, I'm gonna say it, it was sexual.

It reminded me of Suarez's finish v Newcastle a few years back. Honestly, how he's dropped that stone dead mid run let alone finished it was just another level.

Have you seen us defend corners xD

Agree it relies on individuals doing their jobs but when you don't have the right players doing that, it fails miserably. We have some small players ending up marking taller players.

I think it's quite easy to attack against. Man marking can be more targeted. Against zonal marking you could use flexible attacking moves yet the defence stays in the same places because of the zonal set up.

I've just seen the replay of the third and to be fair Chamberlain is very involved. Sure it's him who plays the one-two with Firmino. I take what I said back about OxxD

But the defenders just have to attack the ball in their zone. It probably has to be more well drilled but it's no worse than man marking. Neither are without fault.

I hated this debate 10 years ago and it still winds me up now.

I'd be interested to see that stats but I'm fairly sure zonal-marking sides will let more in from set pieces.
