GEFLAR SKID!

Mjällby lost the homegame against Gefle on sunday afternoon 1-3 (0-1).

I think Mjällby started the game playing good but there was not so many good opportunities in the beginning, but I thought that we will win this game.
After a while the players in the midfield was loosing moore and moore and Gefle was coming into the game.

In minut 23 Gefle had the ball on their right side and went on forward. Grahn was maybe a little too passive and also Wille so the Gefle-guy was able to pass the ball nice into the middle some meters in front of Asper and there was Lantto, allsvenskans shortest player, heading the ball into the goal. Robledo could not stop Lantto but the problem was in the moment before when the passing was going in from the sideline. The guy on the right wing should not be allowed by Grahn and Wille to pass the ball. Geflar Skid!

Just after the second half begun, Gefle scored again and it was a very easy goal. A passing behind Cederberg and Ivanovski (playing on the left that was not so good for him). The Gefle attacker ran faster than Ivan and just put an easy chip over Asper.

After some minutes Gefle-keeper shot a long ball up inte the air and Cederberg missed to hit the ball and suddenly Gerndt was alone with Asper. Some says that Asper should have taken the shot, but I don´t know. Maybe if Asper had been lucky, but it´s not so much to say about it more than Geflar skid! The problem was that Gerndt shouldn´t got the opportunity at all and Cederberg shall hit the ball - not miss it.

20 minutes later in minute 74 Eken got the ball on the left wing from Grahn ran away from 2-3 Gefle defenders and just put the ball low beside the keeper. A good action from Eken!

After that Robledo scored but the referee blowed the whistle because offside. I don´t know, it was hard to see but if it was offside it was bad from Robledo standing offside on a freekick.

Berner got into the game the last minutes and had a loose shot in the post.

Mjällby was playing better than Gefle and had the ball 65% of the time but Gefle was super-effective at the same time as Mjällby defenders was not playing at their best level. Mjällby had som more opportunities, for example Eken with a freekick almost touching the post and some headers.

I think that El Kabir was Mjällbys best player today. Also Westerberg had a good game. Grahn, Osiako, Ivan and Cederberg have to play better in the future.

There was almost 5000 people watching the game. Because of the other teams in allsvenskan didn´t got so many points, Mjällby is still in fourth position. But now there are some more difficult games, Halmstad away where Mjällby have Grahn, Bagarn and DNilsson not playing because of injuries and too many warnings. After that we will meet Kalmars Red Brothers on Strandvallen on thursday the 15/4 and Häcken away on the following monday. We can just hope Mjällby will take som points.
