What a lame loss.

Albania was very competitive. Did Uzuni get lucky?? Sure but his pace and work ethic got him in that situation.

Roshi shouldn’t have been subbed in at all. It was Reja’s fault putting Roshi to defend on that right side. We suffered 0 crosses from that side with Balliu.

We drew today. That goal was offside.

Great game by the boys, very impressive and very competitive.

Sound pressing 2nd half and we were very superior physically. If we play like that we can qualify for all tournaments.

One thing we learned from this game

LET GO OF THE OLD GUARD

Thank you to Cikalleshi and Roshi but your time is up.

Balliu was very impressive.

Nothing came through his side and should have given an assist. Fast, smart player who can attack too. A shock that he only plays for Rayo at 30.

Uzuni finishes better with his face, than with his feet!

Albania too big, too strong. We suffocated Spain, who never looked like scoring until Bare gifted it to them. For the first 70 minutes, we made them look like amateurs.

Terrific hit from Olmo to win the match at the end there. Gani Abazi went into France, taking a 1-1 draw in a friendly back in 2014. Close, but no cigar for old Reja!

Good game boys..

At the end of the day it was just a friendly . Spain didn’t play their best but it was a better performance than against Poland and England .

And that makes sense , we had a couple extra professionals like Balliu in there

Bare fucking up in the 70th minute is a given. Did the same with Poland but luckily they didn’t capitalize.

But again mentality is a problem. Last minute goals, blunders. It’s like we’re scared to win against big teams,

Balliu showed he deserves to start on the right side. He’s short but quite technical and marks the avversary very close unlike Hysaj.

He got compliments and “hi 5” from Luis Enrique while getting subbed out (Luis was his coach at Barcellona B).

I don't understand why some in the media are passing this off as a success or something. We got 1 fluke shot on target the entire game against Spain B team in a friendly.

We keep lowering expectations more and more.
