Heh, Martin, howdy druid, nah seriously, Mellberg isnt great, but he is far from as bad as the knee-jerkers wants to paint him as. He isnt bad at all in any way.
A defender personally having his hands full in getting counterattacked by a brilliant russia who attacked the defence like a pack of wolfs ALL the time (failing to going for the kill except twice), its very simplistic and crappy insight to what went down to blame it on him, instead of the really subpar team effort and lack of support defensively.
