Albanians abroad

Muci the big game player

He got a Galatasaray player sent off because they couldn't keep up with him. He cooked Frankowski another time to. He just scored a nice goal but it was called off because his teammate was offside. He loves these high pressure game. He's just inconsistent against small teams.

But it's insane that Albania thinks it has the luxury of never playing someone of this caliber. Not even 5 minutes against Andorra... Just insanity!

Muci is talented but it is undeniable that his time at Besiktas has been really poor, to be honest this is one of the times I won't blame Sylvinho that much.

The advantage Muci has over some of the other attackers is he may occasionally score a wondergoal. But other than that he is not that different from them. His move to Besiktas should have been his breakout, he is playing for a strong team.

Playing him over Asani makes sense. He is a better version of him now that Asani's goals dried up. But he is not some star either.

The advantage Muci has is he can dribble a ball and not look like a donkey. Which is a pretty big requirement for a winger.

Minaj is the amateur slayer. There is no one you want more against this kind of opposition than him because he has great instincts and a powerful shot while defenders are lost.

But he has no advantage over Serbian defenders. They'll eat him alive. They are bigger, stronger, faster, and smarter than him. So this is fool's gold.

Pretty much that. Manaj does not have the physicality to be a striker against top defenders. He also never had the pace or dribbling to have been a wide forward instead.

It's like someone who wants to be a 6"6 center in the NBA. You can play like that up until college, but in the NBA it's just impossible with that stature.

What he needs is to keep his finishing consistent. He is capable of some fantastic finishes but his playstyle against top level opposition can only be goalscoring. His biggest strength is his movement and finishing, so that is his mold.

But he needs to finish off his chances against the best otherwise he doesn't offer enough.

Manaj does not have the technique (aside from finishing) or physicality to be a top striker. You can be a top level player with his physicality, but you need world class technique, which he doesn't have.

He's just a limited poacher. That's it. That style of play might work well against low or some mid tier teams, but it doesn't work against top teams.

He's similar to Bajrami. Both very inconsistent but usually show up in big games. I think even if you put them in the Albanian league they will be inconsistent. Bajrami was losing his place in Serie B for Sassuolo before he transferred to Rangers. Muci is like that too. They have to be 100% focused and motivated otherwise they look bad.

Both Bajrami and Muci are about the same level with the same tendencies, but it's only Bajrami who's the guaranteed starter for the NT despite frequent bad performances. That's unfair to Muci .. Especially being an Albania/superliga product, Muci probably deserves a chance more than anyone else.

Uzuni scores his 1st goal in MLS a game winner on the road as Austin beats St. Louis 0-1..

With Manaj on the pitch, the game starts 1-0!

and look at Ajeti... another amateur moment https://streamin.me/v/e4b4b4f2

Don't know how he's blaming the gk there. That was his ball to clear 100%

Seferi scored twice against Czechia.

I guess that tells us all we need to know about Czechia..

Asllani asking Inter fans to tone it down with the booing..

“I was booed, I’m not here to tell lies. Surely if they did it they had their reasons, I didn’t play well, I deserved the boos, I’ll take all the negative things.

“But also after the Supercoppa they were too aggressive with me, I didn’t think I deserved that treatment.” - Kristjan Asllani

Inter fans have not yet realized that it’s very hard to play with guys who don’t want the ball like Laci and Ramadani..

Respect to Asllani for recognizing when he plays bad. Inter fans will criticize bigger players than Asllani. This is the club of R9, Eto'o, Maicon, Zanetti.... They only expect excellence and Asllani is nowhere near their level. It's ok.

But at least he has a professional mentality. Asllani, Djimisiti and maybe a few more were the only Albanian players who didn't go on social media after the England game posting pictures... Guess who did?? Asani, Ramadani, Ajeti... as soon as that game ended they immediately went on their phones posting pictures on Instagram that they took with their English idols. Sums up their whole mentality and explains their performance.

The Asllanis and Djimsitis were pissed off for losing/playing bad but the others were just super happy for sharing the field with opponents they see as gods. How can they compete with someone they see as a god??? Only 1 yellow card and barely any fouls in that game.

[Aurora Bulkualis]

I love seeing the names Laci and Ramadani in the same sentence as Inter. We're talking about a team that competes for CL.

It's like when people criticize Broja for not doing enough in EPL, when his competition is playing in Kandahar or some shit like that.
