no, he lost his place after that whole UÇK shirt incident. he was banned 3 months for that and nothing was the same after. why would even paok look for alternatives when they had the best young player in the league AND the one of the best CM in the league? (according to end of season awards)

even now that he went to viktoria, he was facing contract renewal pressure. i believe they wouldnt let him go unless if he signed a renewal. that's bullshit treatment

Kace lost his place at PAOK to a Bosnian player that came from FK Sarajevo .

De Biasi took Kukeli out because he was having to much brainfarts against Liechteinstein. I rewatched the game today . He was costantly yelling at him at the point that Kukeli was looking at De Biasi when a Djimsiti or Abrashi passed at him and the opponent striker was almost getting the ball. The medical staf told him Kukeli was ok and still he subbed him out. He has become a liability but that you see in games not in training that's why when you notice you cut him out. There is no need for Kukeli atm , Memushaj, Basha , V.Basha , Kace, Xhaka, Abrashi and other youngsters like Cekici , Ndoji, Bare ect can replace him.

Kukeli was subbed out to rest him for Spain most likely. Abrashi was also subbed out earlier for the same reason.

dont think he was subbed cause he was shit. he was subbed as soon as he got hurt. it's obvious why. there is not one person in the entire world who rates this guy above kaçe, yet there he is in the middle of the park and kaçe wrapped in a coat on the bench

Kukeli was awful. If he does play, and plays like yesterday Soain are gonna have a great time against us. He is such a liability. Amazing he plays ahead of Kaçe.

Kukeli was OK when DB first came and we had no mids. There is no excuse to play him now.

We were saying this shit since Macedonia game, but it took flopping against Liechtstein for DB to learn. I really hope he DID learn.

Kukeli was subbed out because of a tecnical decision not for injury. He made 5 bad passes during the first half and wasn't even under preassure . Don't think he will start against Spain. De Biasi was yelling at him "Girati girati cazzo!!!" every time he gave the back to the opponent striker . Kukeli is a Challengeleague material and his age signs in last two matches should be enough to retire him from the NT .

Watching the Kosova game reminded me how lucky we are to have De Biasi as the coach. Yes we used to beat teams like Liechtenstein a lot easier with the other coaches, but we also used to get destroyed by teams like Romania. Heck even Belarus had their way with us. We had some great players, but never played as a team, nor did we play organized.

This guy has us playing professional football, and you are all complaining because we didn't beat Liechtenstein 8-0 like Spain did. Liechtenstein barely got 2 corners the whole game, they never threatened, and we cruised through an easy game. De Biasi knew very well that he would have to play Spain in 4 days, and did not want to overwork his players. The game vs Spain will need them fully rested, concentrated, and playing their hearts out.

If yesterdays game was the last one of this qualifiers, and we would have needed to win by 5 goals, I can guarantee you that he would have had the guys playing their hearts out, and win by at least 5 goals, but that wasn't necessary, and I believe it to be a smart decision.

Heck, he even said it in an interview before the game, that he would take a 1-0 win.
