Orm - what happened to AIK?!?!
The same thing that usually happens with AIK. Amateur behaviour from both staff and players.
Several of the best players were not available for this game. Two were sold, one injured and one suspended. Several more starting players are expected to leave shortly and no new starting players on the way in (yet). And a lot of matches in short time seem to have left several of the remaining players with less energy than normal. And it is not like AIK has a squad with lots of skilled players either. The replacements are mostly of the promising kind but not yet there.
Instead of playing with the tough veteran player the staff decided to play two junior midfielders with some technical skill but with almost no experience and weak in the physical game. Two mistakes by one of the junior players was punished by one goal each. The other junior player was replaced at half time and that should tell you how well he performed. After the two goals the match was over and the third goal just proved that AIK was rubbish.
I am also a bit annoyed that we enter the match with the attitude to play as we always plays. No matter that the squad is weaker than usual. No matter that we can play on the 1-1 score from the away match. No matter that the away team seems to like defending and counter striking. No matter that experience is very important in such games.
Bah! I can say more but I think you get the picture. Annoyed might best be the word to describe how I feel today. What annoys me, and my friend, most is that we both predicted what would happen. I am surprised that those who know so much more about football and manage teams at times looks like they know close to nothing about football.
