I don't know if Bare will be a starter for much longer. With Bajrami and Asllani, the 3rd mid will need to be a strong defensive player. We badly need some height in midfield. Gjasula can provide it, but he's clueless on the ball.

Unless we do a midfield of Asllani, Bare + another mid, and push Bajrami behind the striker.

This archaic thinking that we need tall guys just because they’re tall isn’t it .

Asllani is a defensive midfielder so he'd play behind Bajrami and Bare. If you want to get more defensive and add more cover in the midfield Bajrami can be easily moved to winger and another holding midifelder can be played with Asllani and Bare in the midfield.

I just don't see the logic in benching our best midfielder the past 3 years and a solid La Liga player. There's many things wrong with our NT but Bare is one of the least of the concerns.

Man get real. Bare is a choking midget who performs once in a blue moon. He fucked up against Poland just as much as Hysaj but he was lucky they didn't capitalize.

Bare doesn't have the temperament, physique nor talent to be a top player.

Who said he's a top player , the reality is he's a solid La Liga starter which is a good thing. Unless you want us to stick amateurs in midfield just because they have size.

We're a nation who went to the Euros with Swiss League starters in midfield, this is an upgrade. Our best CM since Abrashi in his bundesliga days before injuries got him.

In the last few games he's been the only midfielder who seems comfortable on the ball. We need a couple of other players playign alongside him who are as comfortable so we can release the pressure from the defense.

Bare was our best performer in 2020 and had many good performances in 2019 and 2021. Broja probably is our best performer for 2021.

It’s just odd when we have several starters playing in Amateur leagues we decide to scapegoat our best midfielder playing in a professional league. We all know we didn’t qualify because we have several amateurs that get inserted in the starting lineup every single match no matter how poor or unprofessional they play.

He'll never be a top player but what's wrong if he remains mid-table La Liga level? For international level and Albania that's more than good enough.

Bare and Asllani might lose some aerial duels but they have great motors and can compensate with great pressing, marking and decent technical ability. It's like having Abrashi/Xhaka all over again except much better on the ball.

Rather have that than a taller player like Gjasula who can barely move and struggles on the ball.

By what measure?

The best player in 2020 was Cikalleshi, who the other super professionals could not win a match without in nations league, going (0-2-1) on teams ranked below top 100 (3-0-0 with him in lineup, 4 goals in 222 minutes).

Bare is a weak midget who gives the ball away in dangerous areas and gets shrugged off like a little girl. Give me a choice to field Bare or Hysaj, I’ll take Hysaj and run!

Muriqi seems has found himself at Mallorca. Their fans are crazy about him and he's been great these first matches. Confidence can really change a player.
