Zhegrova turned the game for Lile

Kosova started the game vs Cyprus with 8 domestically produced players, very impressive.

Amir Rrahmani scores :

Zhegrova is brilliant player, anyone who says otherwise has no fucking clue about football. Still can do more but i can't blame him, it's difficult to play when you have such dysfunctional midfield. Nobody understands why Valon Berisha always starts, even Rexhbecaj was poor today. Rrudhani was inept offensively and defensively was absolutely horrendous, it's obvious that is playing out of position. Saipi started well confident with foot and it ended worst way possible for him, gave a cheap goal to Lithuania and everytime had to deal with crosses was in full panic mode reminded me Ujkani. Dellova was good, big upgrade compared to Aliti who was always shit.

Zhegrova finally delivers for the NT, scored the first and created the 2nd.

Saipi, Vojvoda, Rrahmani, Dellova, Rrudhani, Rexhbecaj, Berisha, Rashica, Muslija, Zhegrova, Rrahmani

Saipi starts over Muric, Aliti finally benched.

Compare Kosova's defence to that of Romania and Georgia for example, on paper Kosova's looks stronger. Rrahmani's biggest flaw is that he can't lead the defence. Yes, he plays for Napoli, but he's had his best seasons whenever he's had a better and faster cb next to him like Koulibaly, Kim and now Buongiorno. Djimsiti is the same, he's a professional like no other which makes him an excellent team player, but a leader he's not.

Rrahmani is the best Kosovar player by far. No matter how many headers Muriqi scores or how many pointless dribbles Zhegrova completes. Rrahmani is a champion and has played at the highest level as a starter.

There is only so much he can do with Kosovo tbf. Hard to do anything with Paqarada, Hadergjonaj and Aliti as your partners on defense. These are 2nd division caliber players.

Defence is in the midfield..

Check how Djimsiti and friends ate 4-5 goals a game before Ramadani stepped up in midfield. Keidi Bare, Edi Reja style!

Rrahmani is a good big man who has scored against the likes of Denmark, Turkey and late one at Greece.

6 goals for Kosovo!

If I could pick any centre back combo, I’d go with the lions Rrahmani and Ismajli!

So far that's Rrahmani.

Not a leader, you can see with how poor Kosova has been defensively.
