It seems Reja got burned cause Bajrami couldn’t make it. Going off his interview his entire game plan was going to be “pass it to Bajrami”.

Expecting someone like Veseli to be pinned back deep for 90 minutes against England is playing with fire. You can get away with this with professional players like if Kumbulla was playing and let’s say we had a competent defensive midfielder inserted.

My whole complaint about Reja has been this team lacks identity. It just seems like the identity is to sit back defensively and offensively do long balls or rugby style play.
So what's your suggestion? To build from the back and play TIKI-TAKA with Qazim Laçi and Gjasula? If we played with one player more on midfield we could been even more compact defensively, that's my only regret about this game. Broja and Cikaleshi were terrible from start to the end. It is unforgivable for 19 year old to play as "pidh i bukur". If he keeps losing players as he did tonight on England set pieces i don't think he will be able to play professional football for long time.

Nuk eshte pune trajneri dhe sistemi, te gjithe kemi deshire te zhvillojme futboll spektakolar dhe te ju fshehim topin kundershtareve por thjesht eshte nje enderr e bukur sepse nuk kemi mundesi teknike me zhvillu futboll te tille me grupin e futbollisteve qe kemi. Ata lloj trajnerash jane te paket ne qarkullim dhe thjesht as nuk kemi leke e as ato nuk e kan deshiren ato te drejtojn nje kombetare si Shqiperia. Nese eksperimentojm dhe tentojm te zhvillojm futboll te tille mund te shkermoqemi si Moldavia.
I see this team as having no identity and vision. Reja tries to play a tactically sound and disciplined squad but unfortunately we don't have the capability of playing tactically sound for 90 minutes. We can have stretches were we defend well but then have a blunder out of nowhere, it's impossible for them to defend deep for 90 minutes. This has been the case for years now and we simply can't ask for these guys to play this kind of football. Offensively there is no strategy in place and 3 years later I'm still wondering what Reja is trying to do offensively. We never have pace in the lineup and it just seems like random rugby style of play offensively. I don't put full blame on him because the attacking talent has been pretty awful (good luck trying to score with Manaj, Balaj, Cikaleshi, etc) but I think you have to give us a fighting chance and that seems to be quick counters. This formation/style is awful with counters and is way too compact.

I think the best style will be for them to play a system where they can't think much and one that relies on effort. Playing a constant pressure system and attack with quick counters offensively. Pace in the wings, pitbulls in the midfield and hope our "all-star" backline can hold up.

Unfortunately for us, one injury can ruin our team because we don’t have the depth.
Highly doubt the final score changes with Kumbulla in the lineup. We would have conceded two goals in the second half.
Pointless to speculate because no one can predict a final score but a backline of Kumbulla/Djimsiti/Ismaili/Hysaj is good enough to get a draw at home. You take Kumbulla out and you stand 0 chance.

The midfield obviously had its flaws when he played but there was more resistance and steel. Laci tries but you saw how nervous he gets on the ball. That's unnaceptable for a midfielder.

Also it's a damn shame Eros Grezda kinda gave up on football and ruined his career. This dude had all the skillset to contribute.
When Grezda burst onto the scene I thought we were all set on the wings with him and Roshi for at least a decade. Look t us now :oops:

The problem is what we've always said, mentality. Players playing scared and making amatoresque mistakes.
Dallku wrote: Sun Mar 28, 2021 9:09 pm Also when are we going to admit that Uzuni aint it?

He's a lojtar lagjesh. Not a professional. His decision making and football iq is criminal. He doesn't even have the talent/technique to compensate for that.
Yeah I don't think he's it either. Unfortunately this is the level of players we have. Crossing fingers for Italy to produce some attacking players for us.

With Veseli in the lineup it was already game over. You can't bunker with him. Also Lenjani didn't deserve being shafted after last game.

With Bajrami out, Kallaku should have played. Greece got results with Lokomotiva Zagreb defenders. That's a shit team but they still have good players. We have players in 2nd Swiss division and mediocre Serie B teams.

To sum up Reja’s interview: “We’re what we are and England is England”. He said our strategy was to bunker and counterattack while we managed to do it only once with Uzuni...
Why should any FA waste more than 300k on his and his asistants wage ?
