Albanian National Team [General topic]

[artan]

This is the first game this season the opponent had higher possession % than us (and more shots on target).

Never again with this Gjasula, Laci, Memushaj amateur midfield. They'll get raped against Italy or Spain. Kallaku is our best midfielder and it's not even close. Even a shit Kallaku can control the tempo of the game.

Kallaku can't even control the tempo in his village league where he's about to get relegated.

Laci was ok but I agree that he'll struggle against better competition. Memushaj is finished. Not the greatest game from Gjasula...

Albania is clearly lacking in midfield. Right now Bare, Abrashi and Gjasula are the best we have.

Yes. Bare, Abrashi and Gjasula is the best we have and the most balanced although a bit poor offensively. Overall, It's not a bad midfield at all. The problem lies that we normally have no pace or width on the flanks and our forwards have no technical skills and are just hold up strikers. This results in some bad offense. No counter attack play, hold up play poor and the players usually panic with the ball leading to opposition getting good chances to score.

This kind of win is the most deceiving win. It's gonna ensure another two years of Reja and we know he's just not the right fit. His tactics are terrible and they only work against bad teams because we can out bully them. Against decent teams our lack of pace, width and possession will shows.

It's gonna ensure guys like Cikaleshi, Manaj, Memolla and memushaj will still be starting. I don't care if they scored, these guys are useless going up against any decent teams. The media is gonna ensure that Cika will be starting for the next two years despite the fact he hasn't scored a league goal in 2 years. I'm pretty sure someone like Vasil Shkrutaj can score against Belarus.

We're gonna get a fake high on this win and then we're gonna get stomped in WCQ in March like usual because we fooled ourselves to believe everything is okay. Then we'll have wasted another cycle.

You're shiting on Cikalleshi the same way you always shit on Roshi even though they are the few who always produce consistently.

I agree that Manaj's performance was deceiving. Today he got a lot of help from the ref.

Enjoy it while you can

You're crediting Kallaku for the shots on goal?

Do you know how football works? You have to get the ball up the field for the strikers to shoot it.

Gjasula/Laci look like dumb and dumber. First Lithuania, now this game. Complete embarrassment.

Should someone tell Reja...



This entire team is worth less than Djimsiti's or Hysaj's market value

Pundits and the squad of "Bytha e Dukes mban ere lulesh" should understand that Reja has more football experience than all of them combined and there is nothing about football that they can tell to him. For clarification Bushi played yesterday with four defenders and got ripped apart from a squad who played with three defenders.

I can't wait in two years when people see Bushi taking the reigns over Reja and he completely shits the bed

He can have more football experience but doesn’t mean he isn’t past it . Guy barely won this group .

So what needs to happen to qualify to World Cup through Nations League?

Nothing. It’s mathematically impossible. Nations league was only gonna give two potential playoff spots for the highest ranking teams that didn’t qualify through normal qualification.

It’s why we shouldn’t be getting promoted.

Please just find me one country on earth in which a former kitchen assistant can question tactical choices of coach with 40 years of experience.
