Last Sunday against St Johnstone proved we still struggle at times against teams who put eleven men behind the ball

The Celtic game will be different 

Really? Thought st johnstone had a decent go and got what they deserved. 

They had 43% possession,  won 7 corners and quite a few goal attempts. Hardly 11 behind the ball.

In fact, as I'm sure you'll recall at one point they had 11 men in front of the ball.

Even Celtc won't get away with kicking everything that moves in an OF game.

Is that not why they’re in the team?

Undoubtedly, which is why they receive more stick than others when we struggle. If you look at someone like Morelos, even if he's not scoring goals, his work rate and running are obvious and the support tend to cut him a bit more slack. I suspect many of us don't think Hagi or Aribo work as hard as Morelos, so when they're not producing their primary job; creating openings, then some feel they're not contributing anything.

Why not? Against the sheep they were kicking things that didn't move and got away with it

the shops are back open take them all to the sports shop for some pairs of shooting boots and try another formation his 433 has been rumbled 

LOL.  Unbeaten in the league domestically, took penalties to beat us in the SC, last minute goal in our only defeat domestically..... and his "433 has been rumbled" - away compo, lol

Any formation is only ever going to be as effective as the players you select or have available. Being without one of our best defensive midfielders for so long hasn't helped and at times has definitely hindered.

People say the numbers never lie but let's face it we haven't had any decent opposition in the league in the two domestic cups two sides raised their game and beat us 

Those same two sides are also in the same league..... so not sure even what you are suggesting here.  They beat us but it wasnt as if in either instance they were better than us.
