Good performers : Cika, Manaj, Gjasula. All had good moments and made our attack look much more threatening than usual.

Bad performers : Berisha, Hysaj, Kumbulla, Ismajli, Bare. Just blundered the game away.

Ismaili just started a 1-0 win over Juve at the weekend and looked top .

Look at the highlights. He literally made 2 stupid tackles and Chiesa made him look like an idiot. Who knows what else he did

I watched the game , getting beaten 1 on 1 by Chiesa isn't disgraceful , he's a very good footballer . Point being he goes from beating the best Italian team to this clown show for our national team.

Actually just those two but since we got the 3cb backline our defense has sucked big time against decent-good teams.

Fucking cunt ref. That was a clear penalty. Reja needs to go. Really wish we could have Besnik Hasi as our coach. And also Gjim should be captain and start getting on peoples ass especially Serie A defenders.

As Dallku said 4-1 flatters them very much even if he won't admit we had a clear penalty for whatever reason. All of their goals are simply defensive blunders which on a better day should be easily avoided.

Reja should resign! Berisha, Balaj, Roshi should retire from national team or never called up again if they refuse to do so.

This was a proper stress test. It showed that we've overvalued not undervalued our players. Most of them are garbage level and there is a reason they don't start for their clubs.

But they are things that happen over and over again under Reja. He simply does not have it in him to coach anymore. He isn't committed to Albania, spends most his time in Italy and doesn't care.

I think we actually underestimated them. It looked to me like we were asleep to the threat of Lewa and didn't respect him at all. In a game like this Djimsiti has to man mark him but we ended up with Kumbulla or Ismajli on him many times

Unfortunately it's a normality for Albania. The last game against the Czechs was a good indicator. That game was actually incredibly similar to this game. This team just has a habit of letting in soft goals.
