How is Llullaku starting over Sadiku?

injury? Even a sleepwalking Sadiku is better than Llullaku.

Spain is just a terrible matchup for the type of players Albania has.

This was a loss every day of the year, but we deserved to score at least one of those missed chances. Just unlucky.

Macedonia tied 1:1 against Italy in Italy.

How the fuck do you concede 3 goals in 27 minutes, when Iniesta is out injured? Panucci is a fucking clown. By the looks of this, Spain could have ransacked us 8-0 if they didn't take the foot off the gas pedal.

Duka is a legit debil. De Biasi not working out? Hire a poor man's DB.

Indeed , everyone was expecting Turkey to lose 1/2:0 but not 3:0 this time

I've been saying this for a while but this team is poor and has been poor for a while now. The quality of the team is starting to show and this team needs an overhaul badly. The grind and bust peak from Di Biasi's time is long gone and we are still relying on his players even though they have peaked.

Again, we aren't better than a team like Macedonia who outplayed us in every facet of the game last month. We ignored talents like Rashica, Bardhi, Durmisi, Alioski, Zeneli, etc, and now it's starting to bite us in the ass. I hope catering to the likes of Lila, Gashi, Agoli, etc, over the years was worth it.

This team is gonna reach the 2008-2012 NT quality soon.

Just caught the first 45, and I'm shocked. In a good way. The 3 goals were a mixture of abysmal defending and world class technique (first two were just brilliant technically, last was a fuck up), but the circulation of the ball was nothing short of amazing (at least for our standards). Just wow. I can't believe I was watching Albania play away vs. Spain. With DB we played at home and couldn't get past the halfway line, now Albania was creating chances, pressing, dominating possession for long periods, and not just after the 3-0.

The defending centrally and on the left (Hysaj/Balliu covered right flank well) was disgusting, but I really hope this gameplay isn't a one off. We'll see against Italy. This was completely different from Macedonia. I hope Panucci makes me eat my words. This was an anti-DB performance.
