Albanians abroad

[Princ]

Bare might just end up being the best midfielder we've had right after Lala. He's close atm.

Claiming Lala was better than Xhaka, Abrashi, And Kukeli is ridiculous.

Do not remember Lala ever breaking us into the top 25..

Strakosha
Balliu Djim Kumbulla Hysaj
Bare Asllani
Uzuni Laci Bajrami
Broja

Thats the sort of lineup we should have by the end of the year, all 11 will be playing in a top 4 league (hopefully). On paper the best team we've had. All we need is a competent coach/FA and we can do big things.

Love this. I would likely sub out one of Bajrami or Uzuni last 20 min for Cika to possibly poach one in.

Hysaj just hit his lowest point of his career so far where even his mentor coach doesn’t prefer playing him ahead of a pensioner like Radu. (Lazzari, Lazio’s rb got injured and he’s moving Marusic from the left of the right to cover while putting Radu, an ex cb, ad LB).

Radu hasn't played left back for years so it means Hysaj is really on deep trouble. It seems albanian players who sign for Lazio have attitude of "Jam kunati i shokut Xhemal" on training.

It's clear he has been declining. It's not just a dip of form as this has been going on for nearly a year now.

A shame. Maybe with past Hysaj we wouldn't concede to Poland and be in playoffs today.

Hysaj has been a starter in nearly every game this season. Suddenly the world is falling because he's finally rotated for fatigue/physical/technical purposes. And an 28 year old at his prime is "finished".

Lazio plays in 3 different competitions so maybe Hysaj is not a robot.

As I said, Albanian fans only judge greatness and don't dare to question amateurism.

Too many attackers, not enough size..

Albania conceded 12 goals to the top 2 seeds last qualifiers. First and foremost, we need to shore up the defence when faced with real opposition.

Changes for more attackers can be made if the opponent is at or below our level, where we would be expected to hold possession. Different strokes for different folks..

He was playing bad at Napoli too for the last year and nobody can forget the mistake that condemned them to EL. Reminds me of the mistake against Poland. Been like a year since he put in a good shift for the NT. Now he got benched at his club and the alternatives aren't even good. His once high level career is on a steep decline.

You say you should criticise the amateurs and not the capable players, but it is exactly the opposite. The capable players are the ones who should be criticised because they CAN do better.

Someone like Trashi is just shit. You know he can't do better because he just has no ability. Criticising is pointless because he is trying his best, he just sucks. What do you want him to do? When Reja starts him, refuse to play? It's not within his means to play well.


Someone like Hysaj is very able, as you have mentioned. So when he made that fuckup against Poland people were angry because he should do better than that. You don't expect that from a career Serie A player that played in CL/EL at a high level. He IS the one who should be criticised for making such a big fuckup.

It is not only about age, but also mileage..

Hysaj been around for a decade now, made tons of cash and could care less about football these days.

You have to be Edy Reja because that’s a shocking team . We’ve played that for the last 3 years and look where it’s got us .

4 CBs ? There’s no way you’re not a troll
