Albanian National Team [General topic]

[Princ]

You know Albania is down bad when one striker ate another striker's lunch by scoring 0 goals, 0 assists and contributing to 0 wins.

Having said that, Manaj is infinitely better than that donkey Daku!

Broja said he’d make history!

Manaj did more in 10 minutes than Broja did in 80!

Every single person in real life wondered why Manaj was not subbed on earlier.

Sugar Ray Manaj came in and handled the superstar defenders of Croatia. I’ll take a draw against a top 10 ranked opponent any day of the week..

More recently, he toyed with Ukraine and gave the assist on a game winner!

Like it or not, Manaj is at his peak and one of our best players at the moment!

If we're talking gameplay outside of goals, Manaj was nowhere near Broja. Croatia's "superstars" don't compare individually to Italy and Spain. Italian players were double teaming Broja and pulling his shirt with yellows to stop him.

[Princ]

Right..

Broja had such good gameplay that he got benched and hasn’t started a match since.

Well, I don't think Manaj can play anyway, its only been a week since he got KOd on the pitch during a header. Neither can Broja most likely, at least as a starter.

Daku will play and its true he is in good form, Russia is not a bad league, but the most important thing is always for Albanian attackers is to know their level and what they are and aren't capable of. If he just keeps it simple and tries to use his size to create some problems he should be okay.

Realistically we have to play solid defense and hope that we can create a goal with one of our 10s like Bajrami, Muci, Asani etc.

According to Panorama Sport, Manaj is fine and will play this weekend..

What difference does it make who plays as a striker these 2 matches? Even if prime Messi or Ronaldo played up top, we are guaranteed to get exactly 3 points against England and Andorra.

[Simboli i Diellit]

Mitaj, Daku, Hysaj and Seferi out.

[CanaYouDoIt]

No Mitaj is huge, probably our best player so that’s very annoying.

But at least Broja is there , he’s gonna show everyone how special he is hopefully. No Mehmeti but I get it , won’t get too upset especially since he hasn’t called up Seferi either.

Just thinking is he gonna start Manaj ST vs England ? If so get ready for a looooong game.

[RedFootballs]

It feels very unjust to see Mehmeti miss out considering his season and the overall trajectory of his career (which has been extremely positive). This tells us he has probably not peaked at Championship level, and I am aware Bristol City fans think very highly of him.

Especially considering that we lack such creative players with goals in them, it seems like once again, the manager is hardly involved in the callups.

It is either that or he rejected it this time.
