I thought the subs were good. Laci was better than Memushaj and Broja had moments where he showed his talent. Roshi as always brought great energy.

Didn't like Memushaj, Gjasula(especially when Andorra had the ball), Manaj, Lenjani(besides the goal). Cikalleshi's hold up play was pretty poor too.

The midfield is a very weak point.

Defensively we’ll be ok vs England . At least we got the 3 points , Andorra don’t come to play football, diving , crying , cheats .

England game will be completely different. I would start Broja as he would be extra motivated to play them as he was born there.

I wish we could scored 10 goals today for goal difference but i don't really care it was ugly as it was tonight, in end we got three points and that's only thing it counts. England is most arrogant national team on earth and there is good chance they will understimate massively us after such shitty performance.

I’m hoping they have an eye on Poland and overlook us .

As for Broja I feel the same way , I’m also born and raised in England and the thought of scoring against them gets me so hyped , he has to start , we all know he’d go extra on them .

Weak link was clearly the midfield, and Memushaj specifically. Need to see Bajrami in ASAP, he could of helped a lot today.

Albania takes the W but it is yet to be proven if we can preform against a side that is actually trying to win.

I understand you, i had the same feeling against Italy while i’m indifferent against England.

I just wish Roshi could play for longer minutes. He's so fcking important to this team.

It’s so weird how he’s so effective. I almost feel like he should be a super sub only .

Bare to me was good. Tried his best to create and it's tough for him when there isn't much space or creative parts around him. Good all around player.

The Manaj - Cika partnership needs to end. These two are very similar to each other in terms of style. Both are very industrial players and essentially hold up/poacher forwards. Cika is better than Manaj and having both in the lineup is overkill. I think Uzuini next to Cika can be a decent pairing as Uzuini has some traits that Cika doesn't have. The lineup can use some pace in it as well.

Overall, the teams more spacing offensively. Way too predictable offensively and it just seems like possession ends in long ball or crosses. Bajrami next to Bare should help as he has the ability to break down the defense and is an attacking midfielder which Memushaj simply isn't. The wing play needs improvement and is probably the most critical part of a 3-5-2 but It looks like we're stuck with that pairing. Hysaj isn't bad as he puts in alot of work and tries to give width and create chances. Maybe Uzuini could play instead of Lenjani? But then again the midfield and forwards them selves don't do them any favors either.

You could easily play Roshi as a free roaming second striker. He's tall enough to compete physically down the middle, and he can drift to whatever wing you need him to.
