Closing Down Corner Takers

I have a defend corner set up in the TC with a player set to Close Down Taker, but during the game, there is never a player closing down the taker.

I a trying to set up a defensive routine that encourages a fast counter attack if we win the ball but what I try in the TC doesn't seem to happen on the pitch.

Also, with attacking corners, I usually have a player standing by the taker on 'Offer Short Option' but I don't have a corner routine with short corners at all - the player is there for no other reason than to draw out a defender, but the taker often passes it to him, and he then loses it to the defender marking him.

Does anyone else have a problem where the routine you set in the TC don't translate to the match?
 
Thanks guys. Does anyone know why my guy isn't following instructions though?

Am wondering whether it is dependent on the opposition having a player there.
