This feels like we're fielding Albania B team. I guess play down the wing, maybe Roshi can whip in a cross or two to Uzuni? Manaj? lol

He should be. He scored the two most important goals this qualifier coming off the bench and he's constantly benched for inferior players who are amateurs. Only Reja/Albania would bench Broja for guys like Manaj, Balaj and Cikaleshi. It's the same with benching Balliu for a Kuwaiti player. Or benching Bajrami.

I don't think any other NT would do this.

I would be too if I’ve just saved my managers job in back to back games vs Hungary with some of the best goals we’ve seen to be benched for shit like Manaj and Roshi

Zielinski vs. Ramadani. Lewandowski vs. Veseli. Oh boy.

Last game Manaj was actually closer to giving Hungary a goal than Albania. Fortunately his assist hit the post.

Balliu is on the stands. Seems he has picked up an injury.

That's suspect.

He only got very few minutes last game. Wouldn't be surprised if he pulls a Xhaka and is just pissed off.

The reality is both us and Hungary were C level/Pot 3 teams and they lost their best striker. So we could stalemate until Broja came on.

Poland might not on the level of a France or England, but they're a solid B level/Pot 2 team and their best striker is playing. With all these injuries, it's very likely that the game will already be decided BEFORE Broja even gets a chance to play.

Indeed. He probably doesn’t even feels included. We’ll know for sure after the match. If they can inquadrate him at the stadium.

100% , chances are they are already 1-2/ up before half time because you can’t just rely on wondergoals and holding opposition to clean sheets . We’ve not beaten anyone better than us , we have better players than Hungary …
