Lilaj absolutely deserves a callup. Wtf are you guys talking about? He's playing very well in the EL and even scored 2 goals on Sporting..! He's a good player who has improved over the years. Kace is out anyway.

I'm more disappointed with the callups of Lenjani(needs a wake up call), Ajeti(no club in 5 months). Many others are rotting on the bench too.

Even though Ajeti is a good CB, that call up absolutely baffles me. How can a player who is probably on minimal fitness with no club in almost half a year be called up to play with the national side?

The call up must be personal or something, there's no way he is there because of merit. He's not the only one, there are 6 or 7 guys who get minimal playing time, you'd have thought for the friendlies that we'd get to see quite a few debutants

Seems as if some players don't even have to play for the next year and will still be certain to have a place in the team.

Yup, and the journalists don't even question him about it at all. They just give him a free pass because he got us to the euros. We are gonna be in a much worse position after euro 2016 watch and see.

DB might leave after that, and I'm pretty sure we're not gonna be in a worse position considering we just went to Euro 2016.

By that I mean it's foolish not to use the Euro 2016 to attract Albanians who would otherwise choose other countries to play for us. Being stuck with the exact same team and an embarrassment at Euro 2016 could potentially be catastrophic to our recruitment considering we are pretty much guaranteed to not qualify for the World Cup.

Lol you wrote exactly what i was thinking. Journalists are hugely to blame as they put no pressure on De Biasi. This Euros wa meant to be a stepping stone where we could now go out and get the Avdijaj's to play for us so the future talents would have a good side to come to.

Memushaj, Balaj, Cana, Hysaj, Abrashi nuk do te luajne sot dhe me sa duket jane larguar. Panorama raporton pakenaqesi nga lojtaret ne ndarjen e premios prej 2 miljone € per kualifikimin ne Euro2016. Sonte do shofim skuader teresisht eksperimentale dhe duket se do lozin me 4:4:2 klasik.

Lineup:
Berisha, Lila, Ajeti, Veseli, Agolli, Lilaj, Xhaka, Lenjani, Roshi, Sadiku, Gashi

Honestly, not that bad of a lineup and might even be better than our normal lineup. I always preferred Lila at fullback because he's more of a defender and there's actual width/pace on the flanks with lenjani and roshi. I don't like Sadiku starting but what can you do?
