Monday Night Football never disappoints.

Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher were impressing again last night as the two got down to business after the nonsense sideshow of the actual football was over with at the Britannia.

Carragher, a long-time custodian of Rafa Benitez’s zonal marking, was flipping the lid at the general assumptions that zonal marking is to blame every time a goal is conceded from a set piece.

Neville, an ambassador of the man-marking, take responsibility school of thought was scratching his ahead about the logic of zonal marking which saw Arsenal concede in the 97th minute against Liverpool on Sunday.

The two Sky Sports pundits go at it for a lengthy spell in this video, arguing the rights and wrongs of the system in another brilliant piece of analysis.
