Macedonia plays with a progressive 3 man back line. Two wingbacks that are wingers that give them width and pace on the wings, especially Alioski who creates alot on the wings. Two midfielders who technically are class and one destroyer in Ademi.
It's different to Albania where we play with a centerback as a wing back, two holding forwards with no pace, touch, or finishing and midfielders who aren't very good technically. End result is we play like a mid table Serie B team while Macedonia actually plays fast pace and progressive.

Edy Reja is to blame for a lot of our issues. Sure we have personnel issues in midfield and attack but we can't even defend well .

It's hard to defend well when your defense is in constant pressure. They'll eventually collapse no matter how good they might be.CanaYouDoIt wrote: ↑Sun Jun 13, 2021 6:49 pm Edy Reja is to blame for a lot of our issues.

That's why possession and creating chances is so important. It relieves pressure from the backline and makes them take a breath.
Best defense is the offense sometimes. That's how Macedonia beats Germany with superliga defenders.

Even when not under constant pressure they're poor, its a systemic issue. Reja is to blame.Dallku wrote: ↑Sun Jun 13, 2021 6:58 pmIt's hard to defend well when your defense is in constant pressure.

I don't think a lack of height is our problem, we can easily pick lineup with Ndoj-Gjasula-x and have a midfield with height. We need a ballcarrier

At the end of the day for the most part Reja is working with out of position 2nd division players with the wrong characteristics for a NT system. A guy like Cika could do better at club level in a system that suits him but when he isn't that good anyway he is even worse when in an unfamiliar system.
