Do you think our big strong players will be able to use man marking any more effectively?
Managers often favour zonal systems when they don't have many capable one on one defenders. It's more a symptom than a cause for conceding set piece goals, whatever they say on MotD.
Zonal systems work. Statistically they reduce chances, and make individual errors less significant. Everyone uses some form of zonal system (men on the posts, one on the near edge of the six yard box etc.). Zones aren't the enemy (bad coaching and players are).

You need a combination of both. We don’t do this but you need someone good in the air on the near post zone to head clear. 2 on the posts and the rest man marking. Possibly a blocker in the middle to stop the runners.
