Again there's always the alternative option, which is create a thread which (constructively or othererwise) counters the points they feel they need to keep raising, and stop bloody whinging about other people. That said, I'm being a hypocrite (sort of) by suggesting that because I'm new-thread averse! Perhaps a “For Warne” and “Anti-Warne” folder?

Every time we defended a set piece, every single player was back! After we scored we again….. sat back! I'm one of the "always have at least one man up" brigade. Warne disagrees. He has stated that he has all 11 back at corners, free kicks and long throws to prevent the opposition having space in the box. Reduces the chances of them scoring and it's not going to change.

I've never been convinced it's the best approach, it keeps the pressure on you and makes life easier for the other side. A defence that knows what it's doing is preferable to having another of your attacking players standing around to just be there.

A defence that knows what it's doing is preferable to having another of your attacking players standing around to just be there. No, me neither because I think the tendency is for the ball to just come straight back at you and I also think that you are more likely to get a clumsy tackle in your own box from someone who is not a defender. It just makes sense to me to put one of your quicker players up the pitch so you have someone to chase a clearance and let everyone push up. The attacking team is not likely to leave just one player back then to mark them as that is a high risk approach as they may slip or get beaten for pace so it pulls a couple of players out of the attack. In terms of Warne's idea that it prevents the opposition having space, well the counter to that is that it is increasingly difficult for your keeper to claim the ball though a more congested penalty area. Warne being Warne, I'm sure that he has decided on this tactic through analysing some stats but it feels counterintuitive to me.

Warne being Warne, I'm sure that he has decided on this tactic through analysing some stats but it feels counterintuitive to me. I’ve seen a few comments about this subject. Let’s be fair to Warne and not use it as a stick to beat him, he’s not the only one who does this. Most teams drag everyone back nowadays for corners. I’m not a fan of it and I’m old school. Man mark (space has never scored a goal), man on each post and at least one man in the half-way line area. The opposition always have one man back, plus the keeper. If you put a man near the half-way line they’ll keep another one back so that’s 3. Plus the corner taker means there’s only 7 in box. This is verses 10 (inc keeper) of the defending team in and around the defensive penalty area. Surely 10 can beat 7. I also think it makes it easier for the keeper to claim the ball in a less crowded box and gives him a quick outlet.
