10 mins in 2 each unreal still blame Ralston for both goals positioning is nowhere leaving it to everyone else . Would have preferred Donovan in there . Major fear for long throw ins and st pieces as we are short in height all over the park.

Blame the manager, he picked him.
I think every Celtic fan could have told him before the game, don't play Ralston at CB. So how come we can see it but he can't?

Sinasola not been great but he's getting no protection you can't play that system with ralston.

He plays Ralson at RB and then takes on another right back to play the role of a winger in front of him.
Donovan is miles ahead of Ralston but he is played further forward and doesn't have the ability or pace to take on defenders.
WN has this idea players can play wherever he wants them to and that just does not work.
His stubborn belief in himself will get us punished against better teams.
Most teams play the long ball against us, to big strikers who can hold the ball or knock it on. Our current setup makes it hard to defend against that with only 3 back there, we can get overrun.
He is a one trick pony.

Often it is only 1 back there as he has Tierney and Ralston bombing forward.
He reminds me of John Barnes in that he is an idealist who is very rigid in his philosophy and plays an unusual system. His team is also unable to defend and has holes in the defense all over the park, which was also true of John Barnes.
Just get him tae feck now before he wastes our transfer budget and costs us the double. Whoever hired him needs to go as well.

The 4222 that Barnes played is actually a very good formation. However Tebily and Scheidt were not very good defenders! I'd take Barnes over Nancy all day everyday!
