  • Not much to say, respect to Molde who are the way stronger team at this level. In terms of general play and chances there wasn’t much between the sides over these two matches, Häcken might even had slightly more chances overall but still the aggregate scoreline is a crushing 8-2. The likes of Eikrem and Gulbrandsen are so clinical and lightyears above any forward Häcken has

    In some ways I admire that Häcken continues to play their all out attack kamikaze football even in Europe but they just don’t have the individual talent to make it work at this level. Even in Allsvenskan their defence is really shaky let alone against opponents of this quality. They just give away simple goals every time







  • Even with a more modern coach, the problem remains that it’s very difficult to get Forsberg and Karlsson on the pitch at the same time. I keep seeing people talk about playing Forsberg as a number 10 but when has he ever played a central role? And even then I think him and Karlsson would occupy similar spaces and get in each others way

    You would also have to bench one of Isak and Gyökeres, and personally I think Isak might play LW in a 4-3-3 at times depending on who the new coach is. He has played that role for Newcastle

    I am expecting the midfield to change with Cajuste and Hugo Larsson getting more chances, but I struggle to see how Karlsson will ever be a starter. It’s impossible to have him, Forsberg, Isak, Gyökeres and Kulusevski on the pitch at the same time. Someone has to be left out
