Being a bit contrary () if want to pack the area, can you leave anyone up top? With all these things there’s not necessarily a “right way”, it’s about adopting the best for the players you have. Up until Xmas we were very good defending corners. I think we got “sussed”! That was very tongue in cheek Dave. I Just just have a real problem not leaving someone up front, as it will always lead to the 2nd phase being in or around your box/goal. TBH I'd always have someone in the area of the far post. At least it's one defender looking out at play, keeper (should) cover the centre of the goal & near post. As you say, no right way, otherwise all teams would defend the same, so I have no real problem with how we set up. Not leaving a man forward annoys me, not just for that easy 2nd phase, but it allows the opposition to throw another man forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
