When Hysaj will be back i want to see Djimsiti as left back because it is just matter of time when Agolli will screw us but i am hoping it won't happen against Denmark. Yussuf Polsen will be a real threat and Agolli is very aggressive so i won't be surprised if he get's red card.

Kukeli does the bad work and sometimes he actually loses controll of the ball in very uncomfortable situations . He is tall but very slow for my likes . Also doesn't have a good ball distribution like Kaçe but he fits the system and in our case it's the system working, most of our players play in decent clubs for our standarts but compared to other teams we are the overarchievers considering the players pool we have now Agolli has Lenjani and Abrashi on his side to cover so i guess Polsen won't be a big problem , i'm more worried by their central midfielders because they can shoot on the goalie and Berisha hasn't been that great recently getting like 7 goals in his last 2 matches (three of them from the same position) ... he falls down to early , i know that's a problem for tall goalies but he doesn't have that much reactivity like before, instead of improving he has become worse at Lazio.

Did anyone notice that we played Portugal on the same date we beat them last september lol that should be a sign.

I think everyone is so concentrated in this game that they are missing a small important point. With the loss or tie of Armenia we automatically get the third place even if we loose the next 4 games. Good thing everyone is concentrating in getting the second spot and automatic qualifications.

We got this shit. We have world class players. Balaj > Bale, Roshi > Reus, Tare > Toure, Kukeli > Koke, Rama > Ramos, Dallku > Beckenbauer.

Everything says we will lose but mostly we are becoming conscensious that our team might run out of luck and it's normal to lose to a team like Denmark who:

Before the 14 October 1-0 loss to Portugal, Denmark had won theіr prevіous seven UEFA European Champіonshіp qualіfіers on home soіl. Theіr precedіng defeat was a 3-1 loss to Spaіn on 13 October 2007 durіng UEFA EURO 2008 qualіfyіng.

And well they lost to Armenia 4:1 in WC qualifiers at home too...

What I would do:

Lenjani-Cika-Gashi
Kace-Basha
Kukeli
Agolli-Gym-Cana-Xhaka
Berisha

Looks like no Eriksen for Denmark which is obviously great news. I don't think it's wise to play too defensive but it is what it is. Gashi is going to need to put in work defensively because I'm certain Denmark are going to be attacking through the flanks.

Eriksen and their LBs missig give space to Gashi on our right to go on too. Today's team is taller than our last lineup against Denmark , that a good thing for air attacking too if somehow Lenjani and Gashi manage to threw in crosses with Cika,Cana , Ajeti or Djimsiti in area we could score ...

I read all albanian sport newspapers today and most of our journalists althrough being amateuresque in their analysis speak a lot about our rise and pump the team , fans to expect a win there wich most likely harms us by putting preassure . They could speak about the fact that if we manage to qualify then the entire country would benefit firstly by making an image change over the albanians and Albania during the Euro Finals much like Costa Rika did in S.American cup. This is the first time we come this close and i feel like Aurora Bulkualis said comparing the NT to Skenderbeu that if they manage to qualify then they wouldn't be hungry to win or do something during the finals...
