The only goal Cika scored that could have mattered was the tying goal away at Poland but we lost 4-1.

You're trying too hard to come up with stats for Cika yet they all prove the opposing view that he sucks big time. I'm not hating on the guy as he seems to play his heart out when he puts the shirt on but he's juts not good enough to take us to the next level. Same with Uzuni.
Let’s make it very simple..

If Cikalleshi “sucks big time,” please explain why he has been a starter for his clubs in top flight leagues Turkey/Saudi for many years in a row.

Why has Cikalleshi stuck around as a starter for the NT under various different coaches while the rest of his generation has been phased out?

If what you are saying is true and Cikalleshi “sucks big time,” then you must be more knowledgeable than all of the coaches who have rated him over the years, including Sylvinho!
Simple, we suck at forwards. His NT completion over the years have been Balaj and Manaj. And as Dallku said his peak was playing for mediocre teams in Turkey. Notice we have been terrible in the years he’s played as the main forward. Sadiku had better showings than him.

Gruda eshte nipi i Armando Cungut, pjese e Gjermanise U21 dhe shume mundesi nuk ka interes per momentin sepse e rren mendja se do te kapi ekipin senior te Gjermanise.

Simboli didn't open the Poland win after the important Czech draw.

ZenMaster opened the Poland home win despite coming off a Poland away loss.

So I would say anybody is free to open this one.
Do it then! I'm not doing it cause I'm the jinx of all jinxes lol
I'm not feeling I'm the guy lol. I feel jinxy myself.

Maybe Simboli or ZenMaster should step up to the plate again.

The NT supporting bandwagon seems overcrowded right now, such a shame many ppl who deserve to be at the stands supporting the NT, won't be able now because all the ministers and their families will be privileged for a ticket.

We are just highlighting the weakest links of our team.

His stay has been over welcomed. And it can come back to bite us in the ass.

We've made this mistake in the past. Dallku, Bullku, and even Lorik Cana.

Even the Moldova or Faroe Island games are not a guaranteed 3 points. We will need a dangerous striker for these games as they will likely bunker against us. We can't afford to field dead weight up top.

That's how it always is. Every team. Every where.
