Kallaku impressed me. He was very good on the ball - much better than I expected and already the best player on the team in that regard. This was his first gamen and he's young. As a result, he was obviously timid going forward and didn't take many chances with his passing. A lot of young players do this, keep it simple instead of trying to be special and lose the ball. He did show some vision though and spread the ball wide nicely a couple of times. I think he has a chance to be a good player in a couple of years if he continues to grow.
Broja is interesting. He has awesome speed and good technique - however, he is very weak and gets pushed off way too easily even for his age given his size. Secondly, he seems lazy. He showed very little hunger and desire, and at his age, effort is the one aspect of his game that cannot be missing. I hope this changes and he doesn't go through the typical Albanian cycle of becoming good enough to make some money so he can show off on IG, and never having that ambition to reach his full potential.
I actually don't see what you guys see in Kumbulla. I've watched him a lot. He is very smart and positional defensively - he reads the game so well which is why he is so effective defensively. But he seems slow to me, very passive and super uncomfortable with the ball on his feet. He can make the simple side to side pass, or forward pass if the center mid drops deep and asks for a simple lay-off, but when he is pressures, he loses the ball every single time. He is young and obviously has lots of time to improve and I'm sure he will. However, at this stage, Gjimshiti is by far the best defender we have. I am very pleasantly surprised by him - I did not think he would ever become this good.
This team has a lot of trash that needs to be dropped. Manaj, Abrashi, Trashi should never play again. Net zero players. They do absolutely nothing. It is time to build the new generation. Going forward we should be developing this 11:
Strakosha
Hysaj Gjimshiti Kumbulla Mihaj
Roshi Bare ? ?
Kallaku
Broja
