Muriqi has always been a serious player, regardless of underperforming at Lazio.

A giant standing 6’4” and weighing 92 kg can pose a problem to anyone. Pretty mobile too for a big man..

Bare was fine before Bajrami/Asllani, but you cannot have a midfield of those 3. You need physicality in midfield.

He is not good enough technically to make up for his lack of physicality.

The irony is that at their clubs, Bare and Asllani play the "destroyer" role. They are the physicality in midfield and they are surrounded by finesse technical players who defend very little.

Bare's partner in midfield is literally Sergi Darder. That guy is more attack minded than anything.

Did they update the scoring criteria so that the team fielding the most La Liga players wins?

You've tried to make this point before, didn't work then , doesn't work now. Much like your view on stuff outside of football its wrong.

The guys you hate : Hysaj, Bare

The guys you love : Albi Doka

So who wins , a team of Hysaj's and Bare's or a team of Doka's ?

Well I'm not sure why he was fixated on Doka but he is right Hysaj hasn't been very good over the last year. Even under Sarri who he knows the system of inside out now he lost his spot and was a unused substitute in the last Lazio game.

He has taken quite a dip.

Ok he's taken a dip and what ? He's still the best we got and by a huge margin. Thats the point, you cant shit on these guys when the drop off is from Top 4 league starter to croatian league bench player

I swear if Messi was Albanian fans would complain about him being "out of form" too.

Yeah, Hysaj might be out of form by upper Serie A standards where every mistake is seen under a microscope. An "out of form" Hysaj is still infinitely better than someone from Kuwait, Albania, Hungary or whatever his competition is.

We are talking about different standards..

Albanian fans have historically always been harsh on Hysaj because they thought that he should be Roberto Carlos just because he played for Napoli.

I feel bad for Broja if he doesn't score or has an off game for Albania. Fans will treat him worse than Bekim Balaj ever got treated.. again, different standards.

This already happened.

I remember certain users here writing he should go back to the U21 or that he wouldn't make the Greek bench after he had one bad game for us.

Also, playing in a top5 league doesn't automatically mean you should start or play for Albania. Manaj starts in Serie A and we all know what you think of him. Veseli also started in Serie A when he was getting a run of games with the NT and he was shit. Sometimes, the alternative with less pedigree, like Roshi, can be better on a NT level.


Doesn't apply to Hysaj because Doka is garbage and just a track athlete but you should always consider all alternatives, even if they play in worse leagues.
