Frank must be smart enough to see the issue, it's been highlighted in the media. How the hell are we still doing zonal marking? It was criticised on Sky years ago

Willian in attacking areas is woeful.

Nice to see such criticism in this forum.

What happened to all of you that said you wanted to see our Academy players?  What happened to all of you that wanted Frank & Jody back?  What happened to all of you who were saying we need to be patient as we give youth players and an inexperienced coaching staff time to develop?

We're young, we're naïve, and we need to learn how to play in this competition.  We are in the CL because of Sarri and the players from last year.  This is a totally different team.

Some of you need to readjust your expectations.  Again.

He's done well in playing the youth, his game time decision's would have had Sarri fired in December last year.

This system really hurts Mount.

The only player out there it helps is Alonso

Not disagreeing with your sentiments but I don’t care if it’s the U’19s - id expect them to defend set pieces better than we do. It’s laughable how bad we are at them.

I wasn't criticizing him.  You've missed the point......

The people who blasted Sarri for being stubborn let's see what they say about this zonal marking system......

Lampiball with 63-65% possession is working!

And he's just gave the ball away again. 

We haven’t go control here at all

Are there any teams in history that actually used zonal marking and it work better than man marking for them?

Borderline insanity to think its a viable tactic in 2019

Bring in CHO for Mount. Pedro for Willian.

Zouma at his best there

Can we stick CHO on now?

That was a great tackle from Zouma

Our possession would be nice, if Lille cared about possession at all, they are just going forward as fast as possible and then defending.

Switch to a back 4 please. Mount is not a particularly good winger either so he needs to be 10 or subbed.

Brilliant tackle from Zouma.

Yeah, great tackle by Kurt.

CHO for willian. He s past his prime. 

We need an extra man in midfield, it just goes out wide and leads to nothing.

It's going to happen more and more.  They will use VAR and make grabbing a point of emphasis soon enough, without tugging teams will have to go zonal.

Lamps has got it wrong with the formation

Feels like Kante is injured, Mount in a wrong position. We are creating nothing.
