Ismajli was a bit shaky at first but seemed pretty solid the rest of the game.

Albania is favored to beat 86th ranked Georgia in Tirana.

Positive result over 2 of 3 times. Would have been ideal chance to get a look at Nedim Bajrami, seeing as how Georgia is near our level and Albania would be expected to hold possession at home. Excited to watch Asllani in action and hoping he gets the start here.

Laci-Asllani-Ramadani in midfield with a pairing of Broja-Manaj in attack would be solid. Give Cikalleshi and Gjasula the day off after playing hard at Spain.

We don't use back three formation to accommodate Ismajli but to get best of Kumbulla and Djimsiti because they play same system for years at their clubs. It doesn't make sense to play our best players out of comfort zone to make room for Roshi or Uzuni.

While I agree with that since they play that at club level , they still should be able to play in a 2 at a high level. The Italians like make the switch quite often. I think they would be able to do it, and it would immensely help other positions too.

Because even in a 5 we’re still exposed often defensively and it hinders our attack so it’s useless

Bajrami is on the bench, so he made it back in time.

What happened to the new call up Adrian Bajrami?

He is not cleared by Fifa to play for us yet.

You can see Asllani's quality but he's too deep lying to solve our playmaking problems. Georgia retreated entirely. Only threat was Roshi once or twice.

HYsaj thinking he can dribble is frustrating for sure.

Also doesn't help considering there's a line of 3CBS behind him so it makes it useless
