That is a interesting pic. One thing to note is that it is pic AFTER corner was delivered and someone (Terry) got head to it and situation like this can be seen in zonal marking system after delivery, but this doesn't look like a proper zonal marking too. Neither does it seem combination of man-marking and zonal as no Liverpool player is close to any of the Chelsea players. No wonder they are conceding so many on set pieces.

It's a defensive car crash. The most baffling bit is Skrtel and Lovren, side by side, not marking anyone at all.
 
In that article Brenton is basically implying that the players he just bought weren't the ones he wanted.

Most managers when faced with such leading questions would try to focus on praising the players they have. Turn it around and use it as a motivational tool. Instead he's just saying "we'll have to make do with what we've got".

“We have signed talented young players and I’m sure over the time – whether that’s with me here or not – they will show that they are very good players."

What the actual feck? :wenger:
 
How is he unnatural on the ball? He misplaces very few passes and rarely gives the ball away.

Thankfully my brother pointed this out early on otherwise I might have thought the same. He does appear to be clumsy as feck, purely based on his body motions.:lol:
 
"I want to ensure that Steven is very much part of this second curve we’re on in terms of group development.”

Never get bored of his management speak.

This shit cracks me up every single time. I can't decide at which part of this picture I want to laugh first: Lovren marking Squirtle, other 4 knobs looking at those 4 knobski players, Jonhson looking like a midget or Slippy G in goal.
 
That pic is very misleading.
It's nowhere near as bad as it makes it look
This is what it looked like half a second before that screenshot

Skrtel looks confused because he usually has a fist full of somebody's shirt by that point. 'Why are my hands empty?'
Seriously though, it's suicidal to give Chelsea that much freedom from a corner. As if they need any help from set pieces.

I'd actually say this picture makes it look even worse. In half a second every single Chelsea player made himself 3-4 yards of space.
 
Call me old fashioned but aren't you suppose to be goal-side of your man when defending?

Shame there wasn't a Monday night football this week, Nev and Carra would have torn into that.

Skrtl & Lovren have gone to win the first header leaving their places in the 1st deeper line of the zone on the 6 yard line. They should be 'marking' the Blue 2 & 26 who are then free as S & L don't get anywhere near the first header.

S & L obv don't trust that more forward line/screen of 3 'defenders' to compete for the 1st header from the corner.
 
*funny as feck made up in this case it has to be said... my fave quote 'from' Stevie Me:

"I didn't even get a chance to politely ask the DJ if he wouldn't mind possibly putting on some Phil Collins" :smirk:
 
It's the "Daily Mash" ffs - Brenton isn't saying anything - tis all made up*!

Oh right, didn't look at the link :lol:

I was expecting it to be true, considering all the other crazy stuff he's been spouting!

The second curve. Is that one his own? Sounds like he has been chatting with the owners. Or "flame-keepers".
