Bajrami has played some nice passes.
It’s also why he’ll always find a place in a top league. It’s also why guys like Roshi, Grezda, Vajushi, etc, failed in their club careers Because they didn’t have that work ethic.

Also Uzuini is very underrated technically. He’s a good dribbler and his passing ability isn’t bad as well
His speed/strength and energy alone will ensure he becomes a starter in a top league soon. These relegation teams love that type of player.

Add in some decent technical skills, great movement, maybe he gets to a higher level than that. Wouldn't be surprised if he went to the Prem at some point on account of his great physical condition.

Also, let's cool the jets on Uzuni. The main criticism of him has always been him bungling sitters in crucial high pressure matches.

Until he fixes his ability to not f*** up easy chances in big games, he should rightly be criticized. I criticized Broja for that too, but Broja creates the chances he misses himself.

Ramadani and Cika are the only ones struggling (for some reason but we all know why).

Everyone else is dominating as expected.

He may miss chances but he atleast creates them and most of the time out of nothing. He also is a dog in other aspects of the game so even when he’s not scoring he contributes. My biggest complaint with guys like Cikaleshi is they are awful goal poachers and liabilities defensively and other aspects of the game, they contribute nothing and are negatives. Uzuini contributes.

Ramadani is doing okay and we are winning because albanian "professional" players are on bench. It seems we all have to do is to play our "amateur players" to win football matches.

You are winning because the opponent doesn't even want to play. It's a glorified friendly.

and Ramadani is still losing every duel..

We are winning because Iceland is down a man and generally a bad team now. It’s also because of the dominance of guys like Uzuini and Balliu who were ignored by Reja for guys like Cikaleshi.

Ramadani can be replaced by Laci, Cokaj, or any other Albanian superliga and nothing in this game would change. Take out Uzuini and Balliu and maybe this game changes.

Team looks great out there..

So refreshing to see Hysaj on bench, Lenjani huge upgrade and wonder how well we could have done in this group if he started all of the games.

Uzuni a player who actually plays at his club, unlike the mascots sitting this one out. Albania is bullying them in the midfield, and attacking down the flanks.

Everyone looks real good out there and giving 100%, no superstars today!
