Just one small point which seems to annoy nearly everybody I know.
When we are defending a corner why can't we leave someone on the halfway line? Firstly it gives a chance of an outlet and secondly it takes two opposition players back.

Firstly it gives a chance of an outlet and secondly it takes two opposition players back. When I coached sides I'd either leave one or two up. Leave one up they keep two back, leave two up they leave three back. I'd rarely go with two up unless we was a smaller side, there's no point having 5 ft nothings contesting balls in the air when we can use them offensively. I always liked to set up with a mixed system of man to man and zonal marking but always kept a player up unless we was defending for our lives in the last few minutes. Ultimately it's about mentality and confidence. By leaving players up you're asking them the question. By bringing everyone back you're almost accepting the fact you will be defending the corner, the second ball, the clearance, the ball back up field and everything around it which could be anywhere between 30-90 seconds of defending. And yes it pisses me off too.. |

I think the tactics for defending corners start with what the Keeper wants and can do. If the Keeper can dominate his 6 yard box like Shilton, then he wants as few bodies in the way as possible, and the team will probably leave 2 up and another outside the D. The opposite, a keeper who struggles against taller and heavier forwards, won't want to be tasked with beating one to the ball. Therefore he will want all attacking players marked.
The disadvantages of a crowded area to the defence are as skillspaybills decribes - and the pin ball lottery of deflections, clearances hitting bodies and penalties 'earned'. The management have to look at what is happening if they bring all defenders back as the keeper wishes. If, despite that, the team is conceding goals at corners then they have to over-rule the keeper or change him.

One of the all time top 10 GK in my opinion - we can only dream of watching GK’s of his level at the top echelons of the game let alone at our level. |
