Albanian National Team [General topic]

Bajrami should retire. Ex footballer.

Bajrami always misses. Not a surprise.

Sylvinho coached a win, the players refused.

Sometimes you cannot hide the quality of your players forever. We have been consistently outplaying much bigger sides and we did it again today, the ball just didn't go in, meanwhile they had two great strikes from star players.

That can happen. The tactics were great and we put out a very good performance away against Poland.

I agree..

First Polish goal was individual mistake. Happens..

Second Polish goal was excellent. Nothing you can do about that..

We had chances too but didn’t have the composure to take them..

Overall gameplay and preparation was very good..

Strakosha gave up an easy goal

Bajrami missed an easy chance, that goal would’ve won us the game

Pilos missed a chance which would’ve won us the game, not his fault as a defender to be put in that position by a pussy coach in Sylvinho .

40 goals and assists this year between Muci and Mehemti and they saw 10 mins of action (Muci)

Blew the best possible chance . Bye Sylvinho I won’t miss
you

The sad part is in 4 years, Djimsiti won't be here anymore. That was the last chance for him at a WC. Even in today's game he was a rock. Ajeti will be gone too, so our options are thinning out.

Cana/Mavraj were at the core of DB era, but we struggled to find a replacement for them. Djimsiti slowly rose and took over, but he never had a permanent partner. Ajeti was next in line but he disappeared. Unfortunately, Ismajli and Kumbulla are just too injury prone, and have never looked good together.

People won't want to hear it but Manaj would have been useful in this game, he was in good form for the NT.

Even Daku or a natural striker for those chances to fall to.

Anyway, we are proud of the team, great campaign, just bottled it at the final hurdle, but the progress we've made since Sylvinho took charge is tremendous.

He's probably leaving to pastures new but we should be grateful for his work, hopefully they get the next appointment right in the same way. I honestly don't see many managers producing the same results with this team, which is much weaker on paper than it is on the field.

Our best chance at a World Cup , who knows what we look like in 2 years , our diaspora don’t even want to play for us anymore , we dont develop players in Albania (Duka go fuckyourself) . Future looks bleak

30 minutes away..

Closest we ever came to World Cup..

I mean you still had to face Sweden to qualify lol

But this felt more self inflicted than Poland outplaying you and deserving the win..

Just hope he doesn't renew. It's like De Biasi leaving. Time for new energy!

Our coach had attackers on the bench and put a defender on bro, can’t defend this shit

You wrote all the mistakes of the players in your reply, then you trash Sylvinho. Yes, some mistakes by him, but overall...

Serious question, which manager do you think would get more out of this team? On paper, this side is much weaker than the teams we're competing with, even if you include Muci and Mehmeti (Mehmeti I think should have started today).
