If my memory serves me well they last won it in 2005. Did they win it due to zonal marking? Debatable because at half time they were down by 3 goals to nothing. The same zonal marking cost them the first CL leg against Chelsea at Anfield last month.Zonal marking does have strengths but it also has weaknesses. Same with Man Marking. No, I wouldn't know what the CL Trophy looked like even if someone planted it between my eyes but at least I would know what the PL Trophy looked like if someone planted it between my eyes.

Anyway. Go look up your stats properly before passing comment on Zonal marking. You obviously haven't got a clue what you are talking about. As for the Chelsea 'fan'. It's through zonal marking and it's implementation that the champions league trophy is on permanent display in Anfield. Not that you'd know what the thing looked like if someone planted it between your eyes. How I stumbled on this garbage I’ll never know. Anyway.

We beat Liverpool because Essien put Gerrard in his pocket. With Man Marking the marker gets tired and so does the player being marked. The player being marked wastes a lot of energy trying to run away from the marker. I am a Chelsea fan and Am for Man Marking. We beat Liverpool because Essien put Gerrard in his pocket.

If the defender concentrates on the movement of the ball he ends up running into an opponent and may result into a free kick or penalty.

However, a goalkeeper has an upper hand. The penalty area is goalkeeper's territory that's why fouls are rarely called against goalkeepers. Defending a corner is not easy.

The keeper should go for the ball. When it comes to headers zonal defending can’t work against Peter Crouch. The keeper should go for the ball.
