[Friendly] - Albania vs France - 13 june 2015

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!

Who should start in midfield, Memushaj or Lila?

I'd go with Lila because he offers a physical/defensive presence which Memushaj lacks. The French midfield is tall and physical so it wouldn't be wise to pack the midfield with finesse shorties like Kace, Memushaj and Basha. Lila needs to play over one of them to give the team some balance.

If you want a physical presence I think we go with Memushaj. We saw what he did in the first France friendly and his work rate was giving France issues. If anything Memushaj is all effort and grind with limited technical skills.

But truthfully, Lila should probably start over Basha for obvious reasons(Basha has only played 1 match) but I think some of us have been blinded by Lila's performance as a winger. Playing Lila in a "destroyer" position is much better than having Basha in the same role.

-------Memushaj
----Kace------Lila

That could work. I just don't want to see Lila as a winger as he obviously doesn't have the skill for that position.

Memushaj is alright. I thought he was a weak link in the Armenia and Italy games though.. He's not physical at all by the way. Running like a headless chicken doesn't mean you're a good defender or strong. He's too small and weak.

I think Kace and Basha have more class than Memushaj.. Memushaj is probably more talented than Abrashi though. There aren't big differences between all midfielders but I would like to see Basha and Kace against France with Lila giving them some steel.

I feel we will lose this match. Hopefully we do lose badly so the team and coach will focus on our trip to Denmark.
