Albanians abroad

With memories of the golden years (80's) of the albanian football still fresh on her mind, Albania is now attempting to recreate its strong football legacy. As young players start making their names abroad, the future is looking bright for Albanian football!

Armando "Glimpses" Broja

That run at the end was pathetic. He had every chance to make something out of it, panicked, and got tackled like a bitch.

Our players have to man the f*** up.

The worst was against Brentford when he started. He had 1v1 opportunities against defenders and he just killed it by pulling it back and passing it backwards for no reason.

This is on Potter too. He needs to tell him to be more aggressive and play with less fear.

Armando needs a tough coach like a Hasenhuttl who used to criticize him and have meetings demanding him to work harder. Managers like Simeone or Spalletti would probably get the best out of him too. Potter seems too nice of a guy.

He doesn't suit the playstyle of Chelsea and he's not really at that level as a player.

Which is ok. If he was a starter for a mid table club in EPL he would still comfortably be our best striker.

However, he would look much better than he is currently if he played for a counter attacking team and could carry the ball on the break, something which he excels at. For a team like Atletico like I've mentioned before he could be a lethal weapon for them if he improves his off-ball work and game IQ (he still keeps his head down a lot and isn't aware of what happens around him).

He needs to understand his characteristics and that he isn't a goal-scoring, box 9 who will suit a top team that keeps a lot of the ball. He's a good counter attacking striker who can cause chaos on the break and he needs to find a team that can give him that.

On the break last night, could have blasted it at goalie, but chose to slow down, let defenders get into position, and dribbled straight into them.

Just shoot! Name of the game is not how many defenders you can beat, but how many goals you can score..

Gonna have to disagree. First of all Southampton are 16th, they are not good and Hassenhuttl is a bad coach.

Secondly, Potter is a fantastic coach, his work at Brighton showed it takes time for guys to understand what he wants from them but once they do we saw how good they played. Give it time man, he's barely 21, success isnt linear, they'll be ups and downs. No one else at that age plays as a ST in the PL, especially at a top 6 club.

Kumbulla not even getting subbed in EL games now?

This is what happens when you have no self respect and hang around people that treat you like shit.

Tbh, Kumbulla just seems happy to be at a solid club and doesn't seem hungry enough to fight for a starting place.

Kumbulla promotes every Roma game on his instagram as if he's playing in them...

Guess that's his way of showing he's a team player? lol

You already knew how Roma felt about Kumbulla when they did not start (or even sub him on) for the biggest game of his life in the middle of Tirana.

After accepting the bench there with a smile on his face, it was made clear that Kumbulla would accept anything.
