Never been a fan of the zonal and listening to most goalkeepers and defenders they not keen on it either. Rafa's zonal was a major failing of his but I feel klopp is not so dogmatic, rafa used it when it was costing us every week, i reckon klopp would change it no problem if the players don't like it.. as someone mentioned he main tactic to deal with it is not to give away set pieces and thats fine,rafa gotta away with that for a few years, just when the pressure is on its too easy to score against zonal
Yeah I agree, never liked either, footballers are creatures of habit and tend to repeat the zonal pattern, so top class forwards and opposing managers will find the result ting spaces. I much prefer the defenders to be picking up their man and keeping an eye for the runners.
