Sylvinhos ja qifsha motren, ky osht formacion prej politikes Dukes e Rames. Nuk osht ne fushe asni kosovar perveq Ajetit edhe Hoxhes, ju rrnoft kumaria me shkije e ishalla nja 5 petlla. Manaj para Dakut edhe ka logjike por Shehu me fillu ndeshjen para Ramadanit osht urdher prej lart.

Wow, Juljan Shehu has benched Ramadani! Didn't see that coming but I get it. Manaj starting over Daku.

What's bizarre is that he sent Medon Berisha to the stands. That's a regular Serie A player and a box to box midfielder, something Albania desperately needs. Weird decision but I guess he just doesn't like young players.

Shehu in the lineup is comical. Albania loves their amateur players.

Serbia is a big and slow team. You’re playing to their strengths and Serbia will bully us. The manager needed to put pace and width in. Under Silvinjo when Albania has played best when they played with pace and had counter attacks. Do they expect Arber Hoxha to be the only counter attacking player?

This lineup gives me Edi Reja vibes. Serbia is going to embarrass us. Silvinho has always been a fraud.

Manaj and Broja form a good pairing, I identified this a while ago, they suit each other's qualities.

Broja's endless running and speed makes up for Manaj's lack of activity, and Manaj despite his major flaws is very good positionally and can finish well. He is also really strong and can win duels on his day.

Call me crazy but I think they will form a super pairing for our team for the next few years.

Manaj is very easily tired and quite immobile. He isn't necessarily slow but he has no gas tank, so without support of fit players, he doesn't give enough to pose any problems, if other players can cause trouble, he knows where to be. His major benefit is his positioning/strength/finishing. We saw this during the Andorra game.

Ky osht formacion i perzgjedhun mos me pas as "perleshje" ne fushe se objektivi osht 0 incidente, Ajetin e ka preferu para Ismajlit edhe hera tjera por prej lojtareve te Kosoves Hoxha osht lojtari ma i pagjak, ma pak luftarak e pa karakter e pa personalitet, edhe totalisht jashte forme. Edhe Asani padyshim e ndjen shume here ma fort ndeshjen kunder shkijeve se Manaj, Broja, Hoxha per njejten arsye e ka ul ne stol e mos folim per Shehun para Ramadanit osht krim kunder njerzimit.

Ajeti ?

oh f*** off sylvinho

Manaj and Broja going up against Mitrovic and Vlahovic!

Unfortunate that Ajeti and Shehu are starting!

Wait, who the f*** is Shehu? Not even kidding. I have no idea who this is.

I understand what you are saying about Daku and the potential to get a red card, this definitely crossed Sylvinho's mind, but I think he was planning to pair Broja and Manaj for this qualifier anyway.

They're going in for a draw and no incidents like Zen says.
