Ten conceded so far: "We must defend better"

National team captain Jon Dahl Tomasson and the players are in agreement. This is not holding. Ten conceded goals in four matches is nothing but a failing grade. I agree that we are letting in simple goals, says Tomasson.

The national team coach Jon Dahl Tomasson and the players are in agreement.

This doesn't hold.

Ten conceded goals in four matches is nothing but a failing grade.

0–3 against Serbia may not be numbers that reflect the match picture in the national team match at Friends Arena, but they are still revealing.

The Swedish defense does not meet the mark.

Coach Tomasson made no attempt to explain away the three own goals that were added to the previous seven against Portugal and Denmark this year.

However, he thought that the play in the first half should have been paid off.

Instead, Serbia made it 1–0.

Dejan Kulusevski's verdict after the match? A terrible result.

Tottenham star continues:

Captain Victor Nilsson Lindelöf thought the numbers didn't quite reflect the match picture.

He also urges patience. This was Sweden's fourth match under the new coach.
