Again last night it brought back to our attention the obvious flaws in this system, no one is actually accountable for the goal scorer. Once the opposition works out that you deploy this system, its so easy to overload a particular area of your goals and totally ignore the other areas.
Whats wrong with deploying your best defensive players against their major threats at set pieces, it seems pretty obvious to me and a great many more of the Celtic support.
If our manager cannot see the flaws then I have to question his tactical awareness, even in Scotland against many of the so called inferior teams we concede stupid goals from corners and set pieces.
Time to dump this system and bring back accountability, our players are well enough paid to shoulder the blame if they are continually to blame for losing their opponent and they score.

Zonal, man for man, whatever.
