he should have done more to avoid it then!

he's too conservative, i feel. he seemed to be playing for the draw last night, rather than playing to win and settling for the draw if need be. Sweden were never attack-minded enough to equalise after going one goal down, let alone two. the defenders didn't feed the ball up to the midfield enough, and the midfield didn't play it forward to the strikers when they did get it. Ibrahimavich could have been deadly for Sweden if only he'd had more support. Lagerback didn't start the game properly and didn't respond well enough when his team went behind.
