Chris Coleman has described Zat as; “He’s concentrating for 90 minutes and he looks a much, much better player. It’s the best I’ve seen him play since I became manager.” And despite I fairly recently branded him as “promising for the 7th year running” I have to agree with Coleman. Zat has been a huge asset to us so far this year. We’ve even discussed on the forum if it might be a good decision to let him keep the captaincy when Boa is back. Keep it up Zat!

Hammarby has finally managed to win at home again. Yesterday they beat ‘top of the table’ Elfsborg 1-0 at home making their share of points won from the top 2 teams 9/12 this season. If only the Swedish FA could give back the 3 points they stole from us back and we’d be back in the title race.
