Uzuni (110 goals, 41 assists, 23630 minutes) has had as good a club career as anyone. He has scored double the goals of Rashica (54 goals, 58 assists, 21215 minutes), and more than even Muriqi (109 goals, 34 assists, 24595 minutes) in about 1000 less minutes!

5 goals, 6 assists for Albania where he takes a seat to Seferi nowadays..

The only options at forward should be Muci, Broja or Uzuini. Assuming that Muci or Uzuini doesn’t play as a winger
It's because they aren't tap ins! He's scored 6 goals from outside the box already.

Basically all of them are great goals.

Uzuni has the athleticism and work rate to be a successful attacker in a top league, his problem with the NT is we create maybe one or two, if that, clear chances a game and he usually misses it if it falls to him. His bad finishing lets him down hugely, if he was a good finisher he would play for the best teams in the world.

I can't see Seferi playing over him in the group stage. For good teams like we're playing we'll need both Uzuni and Broja's speed and athleticism for the counter attacks and for pressing.

Big respect to Myrto for the career he has achieved as a player who worked his way up with Tomori and then Apolonia from the 2nd Albanian league.

Not only is he athletic and hard working, but he has a great feel for the game. Always gets himself in the right positions offensively, where he has generated some serious chances against top competition for both club and country.

Very unfortunate that it has not resulted in more success scoring goals for Albania. If more of those opportunities had been finalized, we would all be looking at an absolute LEGEND of the NT.

Either way, he has done us all proud with his body of work!

Uzuni's brace was a penalty and a free header from 8 inches out. Lol.

Asllani's technique is great. But it's his decision making and athleticism that needs work.

Jasir Asani in the first 2 matches of K-League: 0 minutes. Nowhere to be seen. He hasn't played since early October of last year.

But he's on IG fanboying Asllani and other professional players...

Why do you always love to shit on some players?! He could be injured for all we know (didn't make the bench) and the league literally started last week. Jesus man

If both Uzuni and Manaj both score at the Euros I already came up with a nickname: "The Albanian Gipsy Kings" ™
