The real lesson is we can't do shit against bunkers. We literally didn't score a single open play goal against Moldova and the Faroe Islands.

We got spoiled in the EUROs, since Italy, Croatia and Spain left a lot of space behind them and this problem wasn't apparent. Even Ukraine left a lot of space. Look at that second Asani goal. Georgia is not gonna give you that space.

Once another team sits back and defends, we're fucked. We can't even land a single shot on target. Even against amateurs we struggle.
Georgia looked fitter and faster, especially in the 2nd half. I want to know what's Sylvinho's beef with Uzuni, Bare and Muçi is? Why's he refusing to have quality on the bench?

Keidi Bare was definitely one of the best players under Reja’s regime but that probably isn’t a compliment.

But still a guy like Spahiu being called over him is crazy. Bare when healthy is a decent player that can play that box to box role and give some pressing defensively.

We need more solid options to Ramadani and Asllani to give these guys a breather especially during the second game of the international breaks. It seems Silvinjo doesn’t trust the bench. Abrashi is a pointless call up, we need a new dm as backup to Ramadani. Medon Berisha is similar to Asllani, he should be getting more minutes. Also hoping for Luis Hasa to join Albania, Duka had mentioned he will over the summer. I feel Bajrami is too inconsistent for us to keep playing 4-2-3-1, it might be better to switch to 4-3-3 and have 3 cm’s who are solid defensively and offensively.

90 minutes twice in 3 days is overkill even for the fittest players in the world, nevermind for someone who rarely plays.

That's why most national teams heavily rotate between games and they also use all 5 substitutions and early on too.

So far we have been very lucky that Asllani has played in every game since Sylvinho became coach. Once he misses a game you'll really notice it. Same with Mitaj if he misses a game. You'll go from League B to Azerbaijan level in a heartbeat

Because the best player in the world at his position (after Rodri) plays over him.

Bayern offered 70 million for Calhanoglu but he rejected the move. Unlucky for Asllani becayse he would naturally have more minutes if it happened. How can 21 year old Asllani compete with a 70 million player at his prime??

Everyone on Inter's bench would be the best player for Albania. You're talking about a team that went to the Champions League final a year ago.

If Julian Alvarez was Albanian, Albanians would claim he's the worst player ever because he was Haaland's reserve.
He needs to leave then if he won't play, he's 22, he needs to be playing regular football to reach his potential.

Staying there to warm the bench in hopes maybe they give you a role in the future won't get him anywhere. Or at least request a loan.

I'm sure they would be happy to sell him 20mill or something and he goes to a mid table club where he can be a guaranteed starter.
I read the interview Asllani gave after the Georgia match for tv Klan and he literally complained that he was tired vs Georgia because he plays so little for Inter and two full games with Albania in such a short time were to much, lol. Did you see the shot he took, the "through ball" for Manaj and the free kick he took, those are signs of tired legs?!

Is Asllani good defensively?
Is Asllani a creative player?
Is Asllani a good shooter?

What exactly is Asllani good at?


For Albanian standards??? He's great in all of that.

For world standards??? He has other qualities. He's 2 footed, good passer, comfortable on the ball, very composed/intelligent for his age, and can take set pieces. That's why Inter values him so high and why he would start for most other teams.

Albanian ranking from best to worst:

Broja
Djimsiti
Asllani
Mitaj
Muci
Hysaj
Bajrami
Kumbulla
Balliu
Ismajli
Strakosha (in decline)
Laci

the rest are amateurs/liabilities
Yes, Asani is such an amateur, not like he's one of our most productive players.

No Ramadani either? Even though established Serie A player?

Albania has only 1 midfielder who is WORLD LEVEL defensively!

Albania has only 1 midfielder who TOPPED every defensive category in Serie A last year!

Albania has only 1 midfielder who plays regularly in a top 4 league!

Albania has only 1 midfielder who has registered assists against the likes of Poland and Czechia!

Put some respect on his name!

We are not missing Bare whatsoever, I still don't forget when he played a through ball to the Polish striker, we have midfielders that at least don't make fatal mistakes now or stupid giveaways.
