No Mattson is not sh*t. Topic is

In fairness to Topic, I think he's be ok playing in the more advanced midfield role where he can surge forward. That's when he looks good.

His problem in the deeper role is he cannot receive the ball on the turn from the defence and thus when pressed loses possession. This in turn is leading to him not making himself available.
