Trashi has not done anything wrong to lose his job.

Here is the clan responsible for costing us big time:
-Hysaj
-Bare
-Berisha
-Uzuni
-Manaj

Yeah it's easy to say this player scored x or z amount of goals to make a case about his form but context matters. The most deceiving thing in football is goals scored at youth and bad leagues. We always had players who scored a bunch in these type of leagues. Remember Llullaku in Romania? Manaj scored in the Spanish 3rd division and now he looks like a fish out of water against professionals.

And Vrioni is an Italian speaker so you can bet that Reja's staff has scouted him. They probably see his level.
Correction, Manaj only scored penalties in the Spanish third division which shows just how bad he is as a player besides taking penalties. If you can only score tap ins and penalties you will be useless against real competition. All of Balaj's or Cikaleshi's goals have been either tap-ins against horrible teams or penalties. Then they disappear against real competition and then score some tap in a friendly against some poor team then they get propped up again to start. It's like clockwork.

Manaj doesn't even play striker at Spezia anymore. The last 4 games he has been subbed in at midfield.

I'm dead serious when I say this, but I could do a better job than Balaj. How do you go 30 games without a goal?

You can put a potted plant there and it'll get 2-3 goals.

Put a wooden pole in the box and it will be a better striker than Balaj

I still can't believe Balliu is not even called up. Get this senile f*** out of here. De Biasi cost us Rrahmani. Now this dude is going to cost us Balliu.

No Djimsiti either. What the f***... The guy hurt his arm, not his legs.

This list is just admitting defeat before it even happens.

Cika 2 gola sot. Perfect timing to get on the scoresheet.
