It wasn’t just zonal marking but weird zonal marking where

We put everyone in our own six yard box and left 3 of their players unmarked to just pick up any loose balls.

The biggest problem was the lack of CDM. It meant we couldn’t play our 4-2-3-1 formation and in turn left a gap in front of the defence but also Pukki rather isolated as we did not have anyone playing in the “number 10” role.

That a CDM has not been brought in is staggering. No hindsight was needed here.
