[Friendly] Albania vs Norway - 26 march 2018

With memories of the golden years (80's) of the albanian football still fresh on her mind, Albania is now attempting to recreate its strong football legacy. As young players start making their names abroad, the future is looking bright for Albanian football!

Didn't see the game, but looking at the highlights, wtf is up with these abysmal players? Panucci's style relies on circulation, so he omits Kace, and puts in anti-footballers.

Whether he likes or not, Panucci cannot play his football without a Kace or Lilaj.

We're still banking on Kace or Lilaj to be the answer? We know what both bring and both aren't better than the current guys starting.

Lets face it this team lacks offensive talent and I'm not sure there's anyone out there that can fix that. Zhegrova could have been possibly helped us for the euro qualification campaign but even he's too young. There's nothing Panucci can really do. He can call up all the random players playing in Switzerland, Hungary, Albania, etc, but these guys are just leftovers and aren't good. This team might as well play defensive bunkerball and hope to get teams on the counter, that's the only way we'll realistically compete.

Lol, wtf was Roshi doing with the armband, when you got Mavraj, Hysaj and Xhaka on The field?
Lol we had 0 shots on target the whole game . It was a friendly and def he wanted to try new players but so far i think except to Grezda and maybe Strakosha to a point the rest of the players were awfull.
Aliji and Ajeti looked so out of form and slow though and maybe the armband weighted to much on Roshi but these were below par on the field. Someone should tell Panucci that he's coaching a NT and not a club.

We can't realistically compete, because anti-football will only work with a motivated team. That motivation left us 2 years ago. As for Kace and Lilaj, we beat Turkey away with those players. Plus we had the best gameplay against a top team since the 90s in Spain. We could have easily scored if our strikers didn't shit their pants. We have two choices (1) play anti-football with 1/4th the enthusiasm we had 2 years ago (2) play actual football.

You need someone to circulate the ball in modern football. Boot and run will not work. Kace and Lilaj are the best choices so far. If we get better players, we can replace them. We can't regress back to shitty anti-football, now that the spark is gone. It's either adapt or die.

Why do you guys have such a hard on for Kace? He has done absolutely nothing at the NT level yet you keep harping how we should build the team around him. Reminds of the Americans fans obsession with Freddy Adu. Just let it go.

Kace has given us some great performances too don’t forget when we dominated France all game or the turkey win too . He’s by far our most technical player imo and yeah he’s made some mistakes but there’s no one who can replace him

The difference between Kace and Rashica is when Kace got the chance to prove himself in friendlies he scored a free kick against France and we beat France. Rashica was flopping against Luxembourg in friendlies.

No one said to build the team around him. We just need someone to circulate the ball in midfield if we want to stop playing anti-football. It's that simple. If we find someone better than him, we can replace him.

Kace was needed in this game because he's in form too. Lilaj was missing too who's very good.

The midfield vs Norway:

Ramadani (Denmark 2nd division)
Qaka (fake media talent)
Xhaka (bulldog)
Bare (youth amateur)

No shit they are not gonna string 3 passes together. Abazaj should've played too. The subs were shit.
