The Portugal goal was very well executed by Roshi and Balaj. No fluke here.

The France and Armenia goals weren't boots. The crosses were nice and Mavraj and Gashi positioned themselves well.
Agreed on all counts. I have a feeling that if Gashi had started against Armenia he could have scored a header on one of those Agolli crosses in the first half.
x2, I also agree on all counts with Shpati.

Offensively, our only clear strategy is boot it up and hope for the best.
I disagree the team is very Italian in it's approach. It works best on the counter attack and whenever you get the chance cross it into the box. Those have always been staples of Italian football and it's clear to see De Biasi has brought them here.

Catenaccio.
fiks. kjo eshte.

No doubt. If Abrashi, Xhaka, and Mavraj were getting point blank headers, Gashi would've gotten 2-3 himself at least.

It's a big improvement from last qualification where all our "chances" were shanked crosses or shots from midfield. The team is able to bring the ball a lot closer now.

Those Agolli crosses in the first half were world class.
