What are your orders when you play hard attacking and when you play hard defending?

Usually MTM marking isn't a good idea against fast attackers but DCs in the game have speed as a grey skill.
Does MTM just give a defensive bonus and there are no situations when we should not use it in the game?
Because in reality, this shouldn't be the case.

Offside trap is good with attacking and counter is good with defensive. Do you think it applies in the game?
