Those were the strong views from our panel on the YBIG Football Show this week!
I spoke to Sweden-based Irish journalist Philip O'Connor and Joe McCarthy of the Irish Abroad Website. Hope you enjoy. Remember if you would like to come on the show, mail Dave@TalkingSport.org. |

32 goals in 27 league games for Zlatan this season, wouldn't mind having a player that's past it of that nature in our side.
His stats are still outrageous and he is a match winner and will be hard to keep quiet in June. |

+1 Can't see any reason to suggest "he's past it" , he could beat us on his own if he's in the mood. Granted his powers in his overall play may not be what they used to be, but all he needs is one chance to punish any side in world football.

If he doesn't score at least two when playing an English club he is past it. He is blamed, bizarrely, for the European defeats of every club he has played for

Cue Zlatan to get a hat trick against us!
He knows it's most likely his last major tournament before he heads off to the great retirement home in America. He'll definitely be out to have a good one. |

Unfortunately a lot of blinkered EPL fans think this way. I work with a fella (Life long Liverpool "supporter" who is in his 50s and never once been to Anfield) who for years has maintained Zlatan is sh*te because there were a couple of times he played Liverpool and didn't score. This was evidence that he "never performs in the big games"

Zlatan is far from sh*te, or past it.
But he does rely on others to be feed the balls in. The quality of the PSG midfield allows it all game long. Sweden not so much. They've a 34 year old Kallstrum and an out of form bench warmer at Sunderland. To stop Zlatan, stop their midfield. |

Both are proven performers for Sweden though, with around 200 odd caps between them. Seb has missed a lot of the season due to injury, but on Saturday he set up a goal at the weekend when he came on and will more than likely start vs Arsenal this weekend coming! I'd also expect Sweden to start with more energy in midfield with Ekdal to start, they've also a very good winger in Durmaz who is a speed merchant on the wing. Zengin is also a nice option for them too! On a side note they have slowly but surely decreased the average age of their team due to the emergence of the under 21 European Championship winning side. We saw Victor Lindeolf play against Bayern last week in the CL last 8. Hijlemark earned a move to Serie A on the back of winning the European Championship (haven't seen much of this season but was a good player for PSV)! I have a bit of an obsession with Sweden Basically whenever they're playing I'll watch them over any other side (bar Ireland) and they are more dangerous than people are giving them credit for. We shouldn't be in awe of them mind or fear them at the same time.

I love how this argument is never used to describe the MLS. Of course, Robbie Keane up near the top of their goal scoring charts has nothing to do with it. |
