Victor Lindelof pulled no punches after Sweden's 1-1 stalemate with Norway in Euro 2020 qualifying, and placed the blame firmly at his own doorstep.
The Manchester United man, who is frequently the bedrock of the Swedish defence, immediately admitted after the final whistle that he did not grasp the game enough.
Lindelof's form has recently been called into question at Old Trafford, and now it appears his under-performing has permeated onto the international stage.
'I think I played a horrible game,' Lindelof told Norwegian outlet VG Sporten after the match.
'I have high standards. I think I just had two passes forward. I should have controlled the game more but I didn't.
'Everything was bad from our side. We had all the preconditions to play a good game.
'We played at home, with fantastic fans, against Norway, but we lose two points. Why? I have no idea.'
Sweden had gone behind in the tie after Stefan Johansen scored on the cusp of half-time.
Returning slightly fired up, the hosts levelled the score-line on the hour mark after Emil Forsberg pulled Sweden level.
The result sees Lindelof and Sweden sit second in Group F on 11 points from six matches played.
Spain dominate the group after going on a 100 per cent winning record and sweeping aside all opponents to date.
Lindelof will soon return to domestic club duties, where questions have already started to be asked about his partnership with the world's most expensive defender Harry Maguire.
