[Road to EURO 2016- 07/09/2015] Albania vs Portugal

[Simboli i Diellit]

Portugal lost against France 1:0 on 85th , this must be the first loss since last sptember So they will come focused and willing to get full pts. Kaçe-Basha should definitively play along with Roshi as RW. Hysaj should be ready for the game and Djimsiti will probably sit on bench. Our midfield with Kaçe-Basha(Kukeli)- Xhaka seems balanced to me

Basha, Kace and Xhaka in the midfield simple as that. Worked wonders against France with Memushaj so no brainer just replace him with Xhaka. I would play Xhimo at LB but cant see Agolli being dropped anytime soon.

This trio in midfield must happen. Anyone with half a brain would know Kace has to start. It's as if De Biasi prefers inferior players. His love for players such as Bulku, Dallku, Vila, Cikaleshi and co is so wierd. Kace plays every game for a good team in a decent league, will be playing in the Europa League, is considered as one of their best players by PAOK fans at 22 years old and had played very well whenever he plays for us especially in the last game where we beat France and he scored. Just wierd as f*** really.

Cikaleshi is not scoring for his club which are doing really badly in Turkey and he came on as an 88th minute sub in their last game, and has also been very poor in every game he has played for the National team. On the other hand Balaj has 4 goals in 7 games for his club and has impressed when playing for us. I will never understand De Biasi's logic.

Di Biasi starting players that fit his system. Pressing, defense, aggressiveness, etc. Abrashi is a bit better than Kace defensively and presses the shit out of opponents but Kace seems to be pretty decent at that as well. I honestly don't know whats going on there. It's why Villa was starting for the longest time(because he was like a track runner out there), why Lila kept on starting in the midfield(he's a little pitbull) and Bulku probably just had nudes of DB or something.

I don't think Cika is bad. He works really hard and to his defense he gets 0 service. The only player that was able to connect with him was Lenjani and he was later subbed. I don't even think Cavani would have done any better.

Looks like one more yellow for Xhaka or Agolli and they miss the next match.

Is Hysaj gonna be out with injury? Berat had some nervous moments and was okay in the end, but Hysaj is a much better defender against wingers.

hopefully Armenia can draw vs Denmark, although doubtful.

Yeah that'd be huge. It's doable. I remember Armenia beating Denmark 4-1 away not long ago.

That's right completely forgot about that.

[ZenMaster]

I will be on Elbasan Arena

Guaranteed 1-0 win then

It will be difficult, Cristiano Ronaldo haven't scored yet in La Liga so will be after hattrick on Elbasan Arena.

[Genti]

Maybe try Gashi up top and put in Basha Kace combo in CM:

Lenjani-Gashi-Roshi
Basha-Kace
Xhaka
Agolli-Ajeti-Cana-Gym
Berisha

[Shpati]

Bring us some luck, Zen Master. We need all the luck we can get.

[Aurora Bulkualis]

ZenMaster is attending his first game of the campaign in person? Either 1) We qualify directly from this game 2) We lose our first game.

I understand the 'starting players which fot your system' but in no way is Kace a slouch, he is very agressive and runs all day long, the only excuse De Biasi can have is that he is a small player. He is much better than the other midfileders and i think everyone agrees he deserves to start.

Cikaleshi js the definition of a player chasing shadows. It just seems as if he runs around doing nothing all game. Balaj is in form and should be starting.

Hysaj, Kace, Balaj and Roshi in for the next game and i feel we will have a squad which can pass the ball around a bit.

[Dallku]

Super tough game against Portugal. One thing for sure is that we can't play the same way as against Denmark. More quick players are needed and size doesn't matter.

What I'm hoping for(but Wont happen).

Berisha
Hysaj-Cana-Gjim-Agolli
Roshi-Xhaka-Kace-??--Lenjani
---------Gashi-------------

"??" can be any of Memushaj, Lila, Basha, Abrashi.. I honestly don't care. Don't want to see Kukeli in this one though.
