Thun in Thun on Burn out

A bit more in ye old Doom n' Gloom category. It may well be ten years before a Swedish team get a final qualification opponent with the (lack of) calibre of FC Thun again. If a team with the economy, crowd and squad of Malmö FF is unable to get past the Swiss, we might as well give up any hopes of European play and put our trust in the national team for international wins. With only one central defender remaining and genius Jari Litmanen injured/doubtful Malmö will not have a bench capable of turning the game around , should the game turn sour. At the start of the season, the question was how coach (not manager) Tom Prahl would fit Afonso, Rosenberg, Osmanovski and Nicklas Skoog into a starting XI. Skoog is out injured, Rosenberg sold to Ajax, Afonso only scores on non-moving balls and Osmanovski is mainly used as a winger. Hopefully, Elanga, Höiland and The Anderssons (Anders and Daniel, that is. Patrik has just retired) will show their class tonight. And Asper would do well to find his 1999 form.
