Against Denmark we completed 210 passes(which 90% were between the defenders passing it to each other). Not more than 5 passes forward were successful. For most of the match as soon as Albania got the ball it gave it right back to Denmark without resistance. Not even San Marino is that poor in possession and I'm not exaggerating.

Once again. 1.5 games have not been counted. You are looking at one game. Regardless passing is a microcosm of the game when saying who's better

If they handed out trophies for passing Barca would have won the last 10 CL titles.

We hope Portugal win against Denmark and We must take 2 points then but better finish the job against serbia at home by taking the 3 points rather than doing 2 draws or losing home against serbia and winning in Armenia.

This late defeat against Portugal is very harsh for us and can cost us the 2nd place, just disgusting.

Portugal Away-Best win of the campaign. We played very defensive and countered quite well. Balaj's goal was superb.

Denmark Home-Somehow took the lead with Lenjani getting the ball at the halfway line and just running towards goal and shooting as the ball slowly rolled into the net. Wierd goal. Then Denmark just attacked non stop. Made it 1-1 and a player of theirs missed an open goal right at the end when he hit the post. We should of lost. Lucky.

Serbia Away- Serbia dominating the first 30 minutes before the game is called off. We get awarded a HUGE 3 points. Lucky.

Armenia Home- De Biasi start a very poor team, 1-0 at half time. De Biasi realises he started a very bad team and brings on Lenjani and Gashi at half time. Armenia red card after the 60th minute. We manage to turn it around againt 10 man Armenia. Lucky.

Denmark Away- Worst performance so far. Camped in our hald for the whole game. Berisha made a great save from the corner, Cana had a great last ditch challenge. Roshi has a last minute chance for us, but we were completely dominated. Lucky to get a point.

Portugal Home- Portugal hardly were off the ball. Our only real chance came from a deflected shot hitting the woodwork. Last minute goal as everyone switched off. Defensive teams should never concede from a set piece. Deserved loss.

Note: Cikalseshi has started the last three matches in place of Balaj. For me he is as bad as Vila and Bulku. He is the definiton of a player who chases shadows. Runs non stop because he does nothing, so has to seem like he is doing something. Never does get to the ball.

Note 2: Most of you have no right to moan. Your more clueless then De Biasi. A few days ago i saw some of your expressing your opinon that Hysaj should start on the right wing. How much more defensive can you get? May aswell play Mavraj upfront when he gets back.

Note 3: Kace not starting highlights everything wrong with our team. If a player like Pirlo was dropped for Italy there would be pressure on the manager from the media. The Albanian media don't say anything.

Note 4: We have been extremely lucky to find ourselves in this position. Full backs on the wing making dodgy runs foward to try an get a flukey defelcted goal is not a style of play. De Biasi is good at setting up a team to defend. But somehow you still have to attack during a game and he has no clue, its just do what you can.
