Elmander & Zlatan

With Allbäck limping around semi-injured, it seems like it will be Johan Elmander and Zlatan Ibrahimovic that will start up front for Sweden when facing Northern Ireland in the Euro Qual. in Belfast. Personal feeling is that it’s about time Elmander proves that he is a striker and not “the-allround-Mattias-Jonsson-good-at-running” kind of guy.

Score, win or question the system. What about 4-2-3-1 with Zlatan solo on top? It’s the new future, what the hell happened to potential-superstar Alex Farnerud btw? He’d be perfect in that kind of system. Shit. I’m worried about Healy, not because he’s a brilliant player, but he can score. He’s the kind of same guy as Klose, “the worst-best player in the world”, scores on everything but can’t do anything really. And with our shaky defence orchestrated by Olof “take it with the hand” Mellberg – everything can happen. Is Kalle Svensson even in the squad? I may hate Majstorovic, but if we play Hansson and Mellberg in central defence, Mellberg is supposed to be the “runner” and Hansson the “positioner”. C’mon, it’s been 5-6 years since Mellberg had speed, he IS NOT, I repeat, IS NOT – Joachim Björklund.

Could someone please call Lagerbäck and state that Roma is a bigger club than IFK Göteborg and Wilhelmsson a greater player than Alexandersson? That it’s Northern Ireland we’re facing and not France – that it’s not safing defence that is the primary objective of football? Without even the game having started I’m sick of the Lagerbäck-era.

SHOW US RESULTS BEYOND THE QUALIFICATION STAGE! “Well, first the primary goal is to get to the Euro Championship and then we’ll set new goals.” – I already KNOW that’s the answer Lagerbäck. WE DON’T JUST WANT TO GET THERE, WE WANT TO WIN THE ENTIRE SHIT. GET IT?
