About Broja, the main issue is he is lazy. He doesn't run and doesn't try.
I don't think his flaw is athletic or even technical. His tactical performance is very poor and he hasn't learnt how to play pro football yet.
For example, how often do you see him making runs in behind, runs into the box, one twoing his teammates etc, literally never, all he is doing is parking out wide and waiting for the ball, then losing it.
He needs to start to learn how to affect the game without the ball or without dribbling 1v1, he has relied completely on his athleticism for a long time and I pointed this out a long time ago.
Of course he’s just going to stand there he’s playing RW , or rather be forced to so we can accommodate a fat Rey Manaj uptop.
Utter nonsense

Manaj scoring a goal against Serbia was like making a deal with the devil. No way he's being benched anytime soon.
That's all it takes in the Albanian NT. 1 big goal. Balaj rode that wave for years.

Nah, his off ball effort is terrible, this is why he's started like 5 games in 3 years at club level.
Against Serbia Hysaj was holding 2 people because Broja refused to track back.
Simply Broja is a liability at the moment and he has had plenty of opportunities to take on players 1v1, it isn't like he isn't getting the ball, he has those situations, he is just not going for them anymore.

His only competition is a dead Broja who has barely played football in 3 years. Or Daku, Tuci etc. Given Broja plays in the wide spaces anyway, Manaj is playing because there is no better alternative.
And this qualifier he has been one of the better players so I don't get the complaining about him.
If we get a quality striker, he would be benched, but we don't exactly have a great striker lying in wait.
