    This of course was the same Phil Parkes who played for England & was transferred to West ham for a world record fee at the time for goal keepers, but hey the experts on the BBS are here to wise the man up , daft really

    Thanks for mansplaining who Phil Parkes was. In my opinion he was unlucky to be around at the same time as Shilton and Clemence.

    Let me ask you a question. If putting two players 3 feet inside either post at freekicks is such a great idea how come out of the hundreds of coaches/managers at elite level do none do this during matches. If you can't figure it out then go back and check my initial reply that tells you why. Phil Parkes was a great keeper, only behind the two I mentioned and Pat Jennings in my opinion in his era. However, I don't recall him being lauded as one of the great tactical innovators of our time. I've been wrong loads of times before so maybe I just missed it.

    They did it a lot in the sixties & seventies but tactics change , who in that era would have thought of zonal marking which has been brought into our games in recent times & I might add that I am not a fan but I diverse & back to the original point , full backs on the posts were used by most clubs for defending at all set pieces & whilst I concede that things change as the game evolves I still think defending the posts has its merits & does not deserve to be described as daft .

    So a couple of points
    Regarding the OP the paper completely ignores the positive benefits of a wall the blocks and the off putting of the striker. Much harder to get a ball over and dip or bend it round and on target than an uninterrupted view of the goal. If it’s such a bad idea to have a wall why is it also generally accepted to be bad to allow players free shots from the edge of the area. Pretty sure there is a better than 13% benefit in putting the wall there. But that’s not included in the analysis

    as for the men on the post at free kicks. As everyone else mentions it plays all the opposition strikers onside and allows them to stand in front of the keeper. Something they can’t do if the defence is in a higher line

    Plus he was as fine a moustache wearer as one could possibly find. Even in the 1970's, when the competition was incredibly stiff.
