In the absence of a Barcelona style passing game, making the most of a dead ball situation can be a useful weapon to have in the armoury.
But how do you stop a team exposing a lack of height in your ranks at a corner? What can you do to stop a deadly delivery? Do you go with zonal marking or go man-for-man?

"More and more in modern day football I see no full-backs on the post. Now I can understand why people do that, but I don’t agree with it," he told FourFourTwo Performance.
"The whole object is to stop the ball being put into the goal. For me, the smaller you can make that goal, the better."
