But his fetish with amateurs is just as bad as Rejas.

Overreaction.

One of the main changes Sylvinho made that improved us was getting rid of guys like Bare and Uzuni that had good 'pedigree' and played at decent clubs but were constantly terrible for the NT.
We will look worse when we put those guys back in, of course, it doesn't justify a draw against a poor team like the Faroes, but I wouldn't put too much stock into these dead rubber results where we rotated.

It’s also the same why we can’t take those Poland and Czech results too seriously as we can’t expect Asani and Bajrami to score wonder goals and get bailed out by VAR. If Bajrami doesn’t score against Czech do we qualify?

We are a better team than we were under Reja but there still concerns. Stop the Albanian counter attack and don’t give Bajrami or Asani space and you shut down our offense. It’s also why I’ve been so critical on the manager about Cikaleshi and Seferi.
