playing zonal, man or dick marking it won't make a slight bit of difference. if we were man marking, would it then be better for us to switch to zonal? because exactly the same things would be happening.

every team zonal marks in open play and mostly when defending - its just more 'tactical' nonsense thrown out there without much thought.
I think N5 is too big a zone tbh. Players like Santos and Vermaelen need to get a little tighter.
