David Celic should have saved Häcken's opening goal as Sirius slumped to a 3–0 defeat at Studan, marking their second consecutive loss in Allsvenskan.
The goalkeeper parried a shot only to see it fall to a Häcken striker, and he admitted afterward that he ought to have done better.
– I should have had it. The rest of the match I thought I was completely okay, says Celic after the game according to UNT.
He stressed that every goalkeeper faces rough patches and that this one doesn’t worry him in the long term.
– It would be crazy if I went through my whole career without a tough spell, he said.
Sirius now sit mid-table with four points from three games, having conceded five goals in their last two outings.
Defensive frailty has been a theme, particularly from set pieces, and our injuries show two regular defenders are sidelined, limiting tactical options.
Away from home, Sirius have kept just one clean sheet in five matches this season, a trend visible in our stats.
Despite the results, the squad believes a turnaround is coming, especially given that Sirius have taken points in four of their last five meetings with Häcken, as shown in our standings.
The next fixture is an away clash with AIK, an early-season six-pointer where Sirius must tighten up at the back and get more from their goalkeeper to stay in contention for the top half.
