What is the alternative for Bajrami? Playing a 19 year old primavera striker? A striker who can’t score for the worst team in Ukraine?

Even as much as I hate Cika but with the certain circumstances I don’t mind.

The funny part is there’s so much doom and gloom that we over estimate our opponents. Even with all the injuries we still have more talent on paper although I don’t suppose it matters much since they have better “form”.

No doom and gloom..

Respect the opponent as they are playing at home but this is a winnable game for Albania. Formation looks sneaky good, stronger than what was fielded in Tirana.

We get bigger and more physical with additions of Cikalleshi (better striker than Uzuni) and Ramadani in place of Asllani. Albania will bully Israeli midgets in their own back garden!

Looks like Uzuini may be good to go. Mihaj should replace Gjasula at centerback. I would even prefer Bajrami over Gjasula as well.

And starting Ramadani over Asllani is the typical Reja/Albanian selection. Only Albania does these kind of lineup selections. I’m sure Reja is pissed he couldn’t find an excuse to bench Broja this match as well.

Asllani against Israel middle of Tirana..



Back to the bench young buck!

Is this a joke or what? Ramadani's team would drop him and 3 other players to get Asllani.

Joke’s on you..

Player 1 - 20 years old, 1.75m tall, 178 minutes played for Albania, 29 minutes played in 9 games across all competitions this season.

Player 2 - 26 years old, 1.85m tall, 1084 minutes played for Albania, 1020 minutes played in 11 games across all competitions this season.

Ignore this man !

As bad as Asllani played against Israel (which he even admitted).

Albania with Asllani on the pitch: 1-0

Albania with Asllani benched early in the 2nd half for Ramadani: 1-2 Israel.

Asllani subbed off after Solomon scored in 57th minute..

Tempo of the game had swung totally in visitor’s favour by then.

Asllani can play, it should be Bajrami that loses his spot for this game. Guy has been a ghost in every game he's played with us so far and not playing with Empoli much rn. There is no doubt he's talented and has a lot to give but he isn't an undroppable player.

Yes Ramadani plays at a low level but when is it going to start being about merit rather than who started for a Serie A team for one season? Ramadani was good against Poland in a crucial game where Albanians usually shit themselves and has played 90 every game for his new team, with some commentators there saying he's one of the best midfielders in the league.

Give him a run out, he deserves it.
