All these guys, Cika, Manaj, Daku, Tuci, whoever are all different sides of the same coin.

This Serbia team was very beatable.
The biggest scandal is drawing Latvia, and we were close to drawing them again. That is the real problem because it means that we must win in Belgrade, when we had a chance to beat them on goal difference with a draw if we had simply matched their results.

They are all shit no doubt but Cikalleshi did win a few duels here and there, especially when he was younger. And that took the team forward... Sure maybe they couldn't score but created more chances than they do now.

The reason this team sucks so much in attack is because there is no reference point up top. Manaj not only is too lazy and doesn't make any runs between the defense but he has no hold up play either. He's too small and slow. It's just pointless passing to him the ball. So the ball gets stuck in midfield and below.

Albania should just suck it up and play Broja up top. Sure he has his flaws but will win a few duels and is capable of being unpredictable at least.

I'm thinking whether we should just switch to a 3-5-2 with Mitaj and Hysaj/Balliu as wingbacks.

Playing 4-3-3 means you have good wingers, and we're playing a CM and a CF out of position.

I’m back home, probably the worst game of football I’ve watched live

We all could’ve played with how slow they were playing today


We are just horrible , and Sylvinho has given up because why else would he continue to make the same subs wayyyy too late . Manaj for 80mins is a crime.

Watching Manaj live you just see how he always complains, barely moves and has the touch of a rapist. I’m done with this team. We ain’t qualifying for shit.

On another note Milinkovic is suspended against us which is huge so no doubt we will make the most of it and play Manaj against them

Princ already convinced me, Manaj is really an essential part of this team

Who’s better?

Manaj didn’t play at Gibraltar and we struggled there too.

Lukic will be missing too

Next month it will be 2 shit teams in crisis battling for 2nd place. It's a shame the current state of Albania because this Serbia is very beatable. They are worse than the Czechs and Polaks from last qualifiers.
