I don't know if Daku's performances were a fluke but he might be the best option if he continues like he did last time.
Come on now..

AB just won us a penalty and about 5 free kicks in dangerous position at Sweden. In Barcelona, he set up Cikalleshi perfectly for tap in header and sprung us on many dangerous counter attacks.

Check how much noise comes from the crowd whenever he gets subbed on or has the ball. He’s one of a kind..

And even if he doesn't score it's about giving the team a little oxygen, momentum and belief....

as opposed to getting pinned back in your box for 90 minutes which then becomes a matter of time before they score.

Manaj/Cika/Asani don't even guarantee that you cross the half way line... and Albanian fans have the nerve to to be skeptic of Broja out of all players.

Cika came on after 65 mins when Broja had bullied their defence and he got absolutely dominated, he offers nothing.

To me the main problem is not even the striker. It's the linkup between midfield and attack. Manaj/Broja got almost 0 service, so I can't really judge them.

Bajrami has been absolutely ass lately, and I don't mind even benching him and trying something new. Maybe push Asllani forward.

The coach had to pubblish the list today, he's probably facing further dilema.

Disappointing list, we haven't taken any new talents except Medon Berisha and Hoxha.

Other than that, nothing unusual except the exclusion of Uzuni and Cikalleshi, which is quite surprising.

What other talents are there? Medon is the only one and even he was a surprising callup. But the last 2 friendlies showed that they need help in midfield so it makes sense for him and even Abrashi.

Feel bad for Uzuni because someone like Manaj doesn't deserve it over him. Understand Uzuni has been shit for the NT but Manaj has been a cancer for the NT and 11 goals in La Liga >>>>>> any amount in turkey.

Cikalleshi getting dropped is the best news ever!

Why is it disappointing? Who is missing that you wanted called up and over whom?

I think it's about as good a list as you could hope for. Silvinho finally benched Cika (way overdue), and ensured the inform strikers are there (Daku, Manaj). He also got rid of Uzuni who has done nothing for us, but I expect that is because of his injury. He also ensured Broja is in as he can be the X factor, whether he starts or comes off the bench. I have no issues with the list, just wish Mucolli was not injured. He would have been called up over Hoxha.
