It’s all about balance. When Albania plays super defensive we beg to have some balance in the lineup with width, pace and attacking prowess. When Macedonia plays super fast and attacking they should probably get a Ki bit more defensive and make sure to give their amateur defenders some coverage. Somewhere in the middle is always the best.

And I feel bad because they gave up three amateur goals. The second one not so much but the others were just amateurish.
MK plays a lot like Kosovo, focusing on technical and attacking football with zero emphasis on defense.

Btw they didn’t sing the hymn, they’re making a point that albanians are constituent of N. Macedonia and they exist. That’s how it should be. I’m only sorry we lost Bardhi.
Alioski is tremendous offensively. To me he had a hell of a game and a lot of their chances are created by him. He’d be perfect in our set up opposite of Hysaj. He has pace, width, technical ability and the mentality to attack defenders. I think he’s their key player.

I just think Macedonia’s back line and goalie are a nightmare. You can’t rely on them. They make Strakosha/Berisha and our back line look professional.

Good first half by Macedonia but got progressively worse into the second.

The bigger, stronger, better conditioned Austrians deservedly took it home.

We just need one Bardhi or Shaqiri or Bajrami to give us a bit or attacking flair.

Bare ain’t half bad. We need more players in midfield to link up with him. Rest of our midfield is trash right now.

So the Ukrainians have a straight up Brazillian who clearly isn't Ukrainian playing for them but we're not allowed an actual Albanian because he played for the U21s of another nation ...

Marlos has been living in Ukraine for 5+ years. FIFA lists that as one of the requirements to neutralize a player. Countries like England, Germany and France do this all the time in grabbing players who don’t know the first thing about that country.

It’s really stupid that Bajrami isn’t allowed but FIFA has their allegiance to the bigger nations.

I know why he's playing for them but he shouldn't because he isn't Ukrainian, not by blood, not even born and raised there, just a mercenary.

So apparently Arnautavic screamed "F*ck your Albanian mothers!"
