This coach is incompetent. Players deserve no blame, what they are expected to win with Lila or Memushaj out wide? Kukeli in midfield? Cikaleshi upfront? Or just draw and not concede for a whole tournament. It doesn't matter how good the players are, after game after game of sitting back you will concede, it's not them not being able to handle pressure. It's our coach being a pussy.

Cikalleshi(as shit as he is) is totally a superior player to Balaj. Balaj for 70+ minutes he played he lost every single duel with opposition defenders. They were toying with him. As soon as Cikalleshi came on we saw a major difference.

Cikalleshi is not a goalscorer but Balaj is a tap-in hero. Leshi is just more useful because of his overall game.

Hoping for a miracle.. De Biasi can't play for a draw this time but we are also very vulnerable in counter attacks.

Kinda don't know what to expect. You would think that after such a bad loss at home against Serbia our players will try extra hard but we said the same thing after losing in dramatic fashion to Portugal and for the Serbia match. What might help us is that stress of getting revenge on the Serbs is gone and most fans won't care anymore. That or the players have already packed it in and are demoralized.

We may be mental midgets but lets be real this is Armenia we're playing. It's up to Di Biasi with the lineup. If he still continues to f*** around with the bunker lineup we'll draw but if he plays to win we can get a win.

Leshi > Balaj. Balaj is painfully average. Leshi is a workhorse and always has in impact. Xhaka and Memushaj are central players and can't play on the wings. He tried it in the first leg in the Armenia match with one of them on the wings and he tried it again against Serbia when Lila was out.

BTW, any bars/venues in NYC showing the match?

Suite 36, on 36th St between 5th and 6th avenue. It was packed to the rafters for the Serbia game and they had the game live from Supersport.

My line up for the game would be 4-4-2 :

Berisha

Hysaj-Cana-Gjimshiti-Aliji

Roshi-Xhaka-Kace-Gashi

Cikalleshi-Balaj

Sub- Basha, Meha

No Lenjani because I want a potential goalscorer like Gashi in. Roshi is in for Lila (obvious decision, never want to see Lila on the field again), Xhaka in midfield with Kace as that creates a nice balance of defending and energy with forward play and passing to the wings/up front. Cika and Balaj up top, I feel we need to go for 2 strikers even though they don't score, it will increase our chances by like 10%. Standard back line except I would put in Aliji, in the last game (don't even want to think about it) Agolli looked pretty useless and unfortunately, it looks like his time is done with the NT.

Of course this is only what I would do, as Armenia will try to out bunker us, so why not try to go all out? We need this win more than anything. But I still expect the usual shit from DB like Lila as RW, Abrashi as CM, Kace being benched, etc.

We need a goalscorer in this match, even a tap in master. I also think we should go with Gashi and Roshi in the wings. We're not bunkering anymore 100% of the match, so each of them can be useful if we change the style midway through the period.
