Impressed with Mr Ekberg. Looked to use the advantage when
possible, good foul detection. Good night all round.
One to watch to see if he can follow in the footsteps of
Eriksson.

I hope that Mr Ekberg, who looked promising tonight, does better
than Mr Eriksson, whose officiating in the Man City v Barcelona
game was one of the most one-sided I have had the misfortune to
see from a European official at the Etihad.

Seems harsh to judge Jonas Eriksson on just one match.
I thought he had an excellent career overall and delivered many
impressive performances; if Ekberg officiates at three major
international tournaments, including a semi-final at one, and
does the Europa League final and Champions League semi-finals
then he'll have done very well!

Hopefully you don’t include his handling of the Man City v
Barcelona game in the ‘many impressive performances’ category.
Naturally I’ve seen Mr Eriksson in televised fixtures and was
expecting something better on the basis of them.

"Seems harsh to judge Jonas Eriksson on just one match" would
seem to suggest that Readingfan accepts that the performance in
the Man City game was not impressive. I too share Readingfan's
estimation of Eriksson; over the years he has been one of
Europe's best officials delivering many extremely good
performances. Of course, pretty much every referee who ever
lives will have one or two very poor performances and if that
involves a team you support then it is very easy to make an
overall career judgement on the one match and perceived
injustices done to your team. However Boz makes no comment at
all about the televised fixtures other than on the basis of
them, s/he expected Eriksson to perform better in the Man City
match thereby suggesting, at least, that the televised
performances were good.

As noted on this site I was very impressed with this referee at
Hibernian in the Europa League in July. I hope he can go a long
way and wish him every success. Unfortunately I didn't see the
game last night but Pat Nevin was very complimentary on the bit
of radio coverage I heard.
