[Road to EURO 2016- 04/09/2015] Denmark vs Albania

With memories of the golden years (80's) of the albanian football still fresh on her mind, Albania is now attempting to recreate its strong football legacy. As young players start making their names abroad, the future is looking bright for Albanian football!

If only Roshi would have converted there. 1 point though, good result, now we just have to do the same against Portugal.

The 2nd half especially was painful to watch. The counter attacking game is so bad... sooooooo bad

Survived again though.

Very disappointed to be honest. Not in the result, but in the way we played. Denmark should have been the winner tonight, if not for Berisha saving us for 10 billionth time.

Abrashi was terrible, Ajeti and Agolli were mediocre. Gashi looks like a shadow of himself. All he did was one good run in the first half, and was invisible + shaky defensively. De Biasi bringing in Sadiku was the most wtf moment of the game. We had 3 midfielders that were having an off day, he reduces it to two, to bring Sadiku over Balaj??? Where the hell was Kace, we had 0 creativity.

These type of performances are what makes me wonder if we're ready for EUROs. Yes, the result is somewhat positive, but with this gameplay 9 times out of 10 you come out the loser, and against Spain and Germany you get humiliated.

Boring game to be honest but we got a decent result considering the way we played.

So it's Gjimshiti and not Xhimshiti?

We doing ratings?

Berisha 8.0
Cana 6.5
Ajeti 5.0
Agolli 4.5
Xhimshiti - 5.5
Abrashi - 2.0
Xhaka - 6.5
Kukeli - 5.0
Lenjani - 5.0
Cikalleshi - 6.0
Gashi - 4.0

- Subs

Basha - 5.5
Sadiku - 5.0
Roshi 6.0

- De Biasi: 5.0. 4-3-3 was the right formation, but he didn't use the right players. Gjimshiti at RB was a decent call considering Hysaj is out, but Gashi, Abrashi, Agolli, were terrible, and still stayed on for too long. Kace should have been playing.

Roshi shooting instead of crossng was Deja vu (besart berisha shooting and not doing the easy cross against Portugal way back). I didn't really hate him shooting, but he has to hit it harder. But at least he had an impact.

All around, a terrible game. No flow or ball movement. Cana was trash. There were too many misplaced balls in our side of the field. This was the 2007 Albania.

We need Mavraj.

Also, our strength is the left side, we played all game from the right side.

EDIT: That Sadiku sub though.... Should've put in Balaj and had another Roshi-Balaj miracle.

He saved our asses from a sure goal with that crazy tackle. Bendtner was about to shoot from point blank range.

Judging by the France match, we don't really need Mavraj. Judging by this match, we do. We also have to remember that Mavraj has fucked up many times in the past too, but the midfield today was terrible defensively apart from Xhaka. Offered 0 cover.

That's such a Cana thing lol.

Cana shouldn't even allowed that ball to get to Bendter. But glad he cleaned it up.
