[@Jedz999]

Teams look at stats, stats tell them that more goals have happened when the defending team had players on posts, teams don't put players on posts anymore. Having players on the goal line means that you're canceling the risk of being offside for the attacking team after a deflection. It also limits the potential for a counter attack because of a higher density of players in their own box.

One thing that annoys me sbout Commentators is when they say the wrong player is marking a taller player If you have a shorter team you cant mark every tall player, there will always be mismatches and nothing can be done

[@rohannaval1621]

No they're right in that the tallest players should mark the tallest etc

[@Tomwithnonumbers]

@@rohannaval1621 If you do that as the shorter team, most of your players will be shorter than the man they're marking. Whereas if you put one short guy on one tall guy, then you create more situations where your team has a height advantage because your tallest player is marking their second tallest player etc.

My dad always talks about this, he thinks teams should always have two men on the posts

[@rooneye]

Out-swingers vs in-swingers. I read a book about the same people that did the stats based sporting thing with Billy Beane in that Brad Pitt movie. The same guys told Mancini at Man City at the time, that in-swinging corners are by far the most likely to score a goal. Mancini looked at them and just said "No. I don't care about stats. I just KNOW out-swingers are better" Why? Because out-swingers when they connect with a header it looks crisp and awesome and in-swingers look scruffy. BUT those scruffy goals are scored WAY more. Mancini was totally wrong. He was just biased as a player who liked to head out-swingers.

[@rizka7945]

They rather have more men pulling attacking players from shirts.

[@Renatoioi]

this intro pumped me so hard up

[@Loose89]

Data may show that more goals have supposedly been saved with no players on posts, but just about every match day there is at least 1-2 goals scored which would have more than likely been prevented by having players on posts. I’d rather know the the keeper has more protection, allowing him to leave his line or have them stop shots to each side of the goal than VAR or the linesman to bail me out from an offside flick on or deflected long shot.

[@lukelloyd8976]

The jumper: a refreshing change...not saying the plethora of different shirts was a bad thing, oh no; but it's different. I like different. More to the point, isn't Kalajdzic's advantage that he's several thousand feet tall, which defies many-a- clever setup?

[@Ads-vf4wl]

Kalajdzic is very very tall, but he's actually bent over for the goal vs Italy, and heads it at about waist hight to the defenders.

[@wogbog]

I have a tactical question and thought an unrelated Tifo video might be the best way to get an answer. All the 3 at the back in the Euros has had me thinking about the concept, and Pep is disdainful of numbers like 4-2-3-1 for formations as meaning anything. Does three at the back refer to just putting three players who are usually central defenders in the lineup and the choice and limitations that entails? How doe players like Christensen moving into midfield for Denmark play into this (is it still 'three at the back' because he's mostly a central defender? I guess he was doing central defence duties most of the time...). I hope that made sense?

[@darhaha3391]

So he said not having players on the post also helps with catching attacking players offside for a possible secondary delivery. I agree, but there is a way to have players on the line and still catch attackers offside, for one second when that secondary ball is hit, the post player who assumably is standing on the line, takes one step back and stands INSIDE THE GOAL, only for the moment the secondary ball is hit and then comes back on the line again. By being inside the goal, passed the goal line, the player would be technically out of bounds of the pitch and his presence won't make anyone onside, and he has also maintained his line-watching duty.

[@Tickenest]

That is not correct. From Law 11 (IFAB's words): "A defending player who leaves the field of play without the referee's permission shall be considered to be on the goal line or touchline for the purposes of offside until the next stoppage in play or until the defending team has played the ball towards the halfway line and it is outside its penalty area." He's considered to be on the goal line if he steps into the goal. His actions would not have your intended effect.

[@AlstonBenjamin]

The real reason is that few teams attempt to score directly from the corner. The original reason was that teams were scared of this but now it isn't as much a threat as few even consider trying.

[@sld1776]

Missing the offside threat is not ad valuable as having players guarding the post. Mostly zonal marking works better, especially when teams inexplicably overuse outswingers.

[@thephotographer539]

I've just watched Palace (with no one on the posts) concede a goal by allowing the best header in Liverpool's team a free header from a corner. So what were all these 'useful' spare players that weren't on the posts doing? They apparently had something more important to do than stopping a goal, like marking Van Dijk, but they didn't bother with this either. If there HAD been someone on the post, the header would have gone straight at him. Instead, the game is lost. Isn't your first sample proving you SHOULD have men on the posts? The attacker still gets the header in, despite the spare defenders, and it squeezes in at the far post, because there's no one there.

[@nehemiahjacobs1987]

[@dtrjones]

My view about being on the post is who? If they are tall enough then they should be fighting to head the ball out, typically at the near post that could be a central striker if he's quite tall. If you put a short midfield player on the post that's obviously not going to be effective and wingbacks I would prefer to mark the strikers rather than guard the post. You also giveup the offside rule and limit counter attacks as other have said.

[@dcooperpromanager]

With VAR I don't think players take the same risk being on the post for fear of playing people onside.

[@footytube9500]

England put Harry Kane at the front post, and when the ball went pass him, he moved into the back post to cover it. What happens? A loose ball falls infront of Bonucci and Harry Kane, no surprise that England concede. Had they put a proper defender or a full back at the post, that loose ball would have been contested by the English defender, making it harder for Bonucci to score and England would have likely won the Euro finals.

That's two players who aren't actively defending the corner kick as it comes in or as it gets knocked around in the box before being cleared. You don't get "smaller goal" for free.

JJ have you ever tried writing your ideas down before posting them here? Because time after time your explanations simply amount to confused blabbering. I keep getting the notifications, and I keep coming to watch this content because of the excellent stuff that Alex posts on the main channel, and every time it's a disappointment. You have amazing understanding and insight into the game, why not put a bit more effort into the delivery then?

[@mss11235]

He is doing what a lot of people with that mind do: acknowledging the counter argument. The problem is with guys like him (and I am kind of like this), they are constantly aware of the counter argument and feel they should acknowledge almost constantly so as to, I guess, retain credibility throughout the explanation. Football is a game of countering the counter that itself was a counter to begin with. JJ in these more linear, black or white, x or y, posts is simply finding a balance between forcing home the point whilst sufficiently addressing the micro-details that the contrarian point could snag against. If one pays attention closely throughout the entirety of this piece (aurally and visually) and especially to his tweaking of the player markers, this post is actually quite clear. In my opinion.
