What Dragusin will we see?

Alibec, Sorescu, Stanciu and Ratiu in great form.

The form of our players has dropped.

Ratiu may be the only important one that is doing well, the Marius Marin

If Luce decides to rotate a bit, it would be nice to see if Birligea can integrate into the team

His lack of rotation may have hurt our players. Man at least returned to Parma diminished physically

Stanciu literally had two assists last game.

Sloppy performance. Playing every game you'd expect more understanding, but we still struggle with the simplest moves and combinations

I liked Dragus, Man tried but was inaccurate, same as Ratiu

Dragusin perfect at the back, except for that bad pass on the midfield

Kosovo was better and we could easily be down

We're giving up the ball too easily which makes Kosovo to grow, and we can't do a decent attack.

They surprised us with the oldest play of football: long ball to the target man, header to the fast one and he finishes. It wasn't goal by a miracle of Dragusin and Nita.

Nah they are crying because they are victims and saw they were not winning the game. Xleqrly there weren't any mesages today and the crowd chanted for Romania

I don't understand how they are not loosing the game. On an Brazil-Argentina last year argentina's fans were beaten by the police, the players wanted to leave and had to return not to loose the match. You can't leave a game like this.
But it's Uefa...

I just checked again... if there were any chants they were inaudible on TV atleast, so it must've been a very small group. I didn't see no escalations, nothing flying down the pitch or anything. Their captain just lost it and drew his team with him. I also didn't see the ref do anything

I respect Hagi after today. He was the only one with balls to step in and protect Alibec. He even returns back into the mix and pulls the guy away who is headbutting at Alibec 28 seconds in. Sorry Dragusin, you're losing a lot of ground in my eyes. You're 6'2, monster strength and possyfooting around instead of grabbing shirts and shoving them aside 1 by 1.

Respect Stanciu. That should have been Dragusin doing that job.

Did you see their official statement? Little rats they are

"Cries such as 'Kosovo is Serbia' and 'Serbia, Serbia', whistling during the singing of the national anthem of Kosovo, throwing hard objects ... and other offensive and provocative actions were present throughout the match, creating an unacceptable atmosphere not safe for our players," the FFK said in a statement.

It's incredible that so many adults can act so childish because they lost. Worst off, it's their captain who is that much of a little rat. Kosovo people and Albanians in general behave this way when they lose. They're hyper-emotional and struggle to regulate themselves. It's a societal, cultural or biological disability they have.

Yesterday I was pretty sure, but with Uefa you never know. But now I'm 99% sure we'll get the points.
I even read Uefa specified that "Kosovo is Serbia" is not considered rasist before the game, and the inly chant was "Serbia, Serbia". The ref didn't suspend the match, Kosovo will try to argue but they have bo grounds
