90 minutes twice in 3 days is overkill even for the fittest players in the world, nevermind for someone who rarely plays.
That's why most national teams heavily rotate between games and they also use all 5 substitutions and early on too.
So far we have been very lucky that Asllani has played in every game since Sylvinho became coach. Once he misses a game you'll really notice it. Same with Mitaj if he misses a game. You'll go from League B to Azerbaijan level in a heartbeat

We need more solid options to Ramadani and Asllani to give these guys a breather especially during the second game of the international breaks. It seems Silvinjo doesn’t trust the bench. Abrashi is a pointless call up, we need a new dm as backup to Ramadani. Medon Berisha is similar to Asllani, he should be getting more minutes. Also hoping for Luis Hasa to join Albania, Duka had mentioned he will over the summer. I feel Bajrami is too inconsistent for us to keep playing 4-2-3-1, it might be better to switch to 4-3-3 and have 3 cm’s who are solid defensively and offensively.

I feel like everyone and the media took the wrong lessons from this game. It's not about X player or Y event. The real lesson is we can't do shit against bunkers. We literally didn't score a single open play goal against Moldova and the Faroe Islands.
We got spoiled in the EUROs, since Italy, Croatia and Spain left a lot of space behind them and this problem wasn't apparent. Even Ukraine left a lot of space. Look at that second Asani goal. Georgia is not gonna give you that space.
Once another team sits back and defends, we're fucked. We can't even land a single shot on target. Even against amateurs we struggle.

Keidi Bare was definitely one of the best players under Reja’s regime but that probably isn’t a compliment.
But still a guy like Spahiu being called over him is crazy. Bare when healthy is a decent player that can play that box to box role and give some pressing defensively.

Georgia looked fitter and faster, especially in the 2nd half. I want to know what's Sylvinho's beef with Uzuni, Bare and Muçi is? Why's he refusing to have quality on the bench?

Bet-at-home suggests positive result less than 1 of 2 times for visitor.
Albania is undefeated in last 6 matches against Slavic opponents with a +8 GD (12-4) during that stretch.
Slavs play an attacking game which makes for a fun experience for us fans. All of our games against Slavic opponents have been a joy to watch! Respect!
Last game was a bore fest! Visitor sitting back happy with a draw. Lulled us to sleep then scored a lucky goal to put us away!
Just thinking about it gives me a headache!

If Daku is out we're fucked. We're destroyed up top. Broja gone, Manaj gone. Even Uzuni who's not even a proper 9, gone.

This Feta Fetai Sylvinho called up doesn't seem too bad technically but he has a big problem.... He's a 6 who's built like Ergys Kace. Even Asllani looks like a tank compared to him.
So for him to make it to professional levels he must compensate by having out of this world technique.
