only watched some highlights of the game yesterday but for a 5 nil game we still looked ropey at the back. Barkas made some fine saves but still doesn't look to be organising the defence in front of him. Jullien all over the place yet again. Hopefully just rusty as not played 352 in a while. One positive is Ajeti. Looks like he will score plenty.

I think it will take Barakas a little time to jel another couple of games playing with the same defence should do it I think but he showed he is a good keeper just have to get a understanding with the rest of the defence.

Still don't see the point of playing three at the back, it seems to introduce a nervousness that permeates its way through the whole side, why not go back to basics and play a settled and regular back four, concentrate on getting the defence sorted,352 is meant to be more attacking, think someone said, but I think it's madness, . When a team like Ross County can hit the woodwork more than once and bring out good saves in Barkas, it only highlights the insanity of persisting with a system that any half decent team will tear apart.

That was the first time that defense has played together and I agree we had some anxious moments - especially in the first half, when the whole team were dealing with the new formation and responsibilities.
However, Barkas did very well when called upon and with the help of a post or two deserved his clean sheet.
Jullien has been having a shaky start to the season, but Duffy will help stabilize the defense after a few games. Ajer (great player) is in the wrong position and that must be obvious to all.
County actually played very well; so when you come away with a 5-0 at a very tight ground, knowing Celtic can actually play even better and improve their defensive organisation and maybe add a left sided CB ; then it's got to go down as a massive result.

If we can get back playing like we did after the winter break playing the 3-5-2 Celtic will be fine because no one will get near us.
But I can see where Aindoh is coming from.
Why take the chance and leave ourselves exposed to better teams.
Lennon could play his old system 4-4-2 but it would need to be without Brown for that formation to succeed.

Aindoh the 352 worked really well last season. Considering most teams we play park the bus its an attacking formation we need.
