Who said Duka was unprofessional?

So their coach has no other option but to go all out attack.

 

Armenian Safet Gjici:howler:

 

Things can't be worse, Berisha is having difficult time at Lazio almost always in bench, Mavraj made terrible choice by signing with Fc Koln which actually is coached by a nazi and prefers austrian Wimmer over devoted muslim. Arlind Ajeti is fourth or fifth choice at Basel, it would been better for him to go somewhere else (just as Aliji did) and play than stay in bench. Cana played a lot lately but i am afraid that he also lost his place. Andi Lila is injured,won't be available for Armenia but i have impression that only De Biasi and his mom are upset about this .Lenjani is already married to the bench and i can't see him playing only if Ntep get's injured. Taulant Xhaka is playing too many matches and i am afraid that he could also get injured. Kukeli hasn't played in last two games(i suppose it was because injury). Migjen Basha finally is back i am not sure Ventura will give him minutes to find his rhythm.Vullnet Basha was doing fine lately at Zaragoza but when he was cementing his place got injured. Kace is facing suspensions one after another.Valdet Rama is bench player in a team which will be relegated from Bundesliga 2. Vajushi was on bench for the first time against Milan and he was proud about it . Balaj had nice start at Rijeka but now he is injured, Cikaleshi can't find the net since he was linked to a move to Sampdoria. Armando Sadiku is third choice at Zurich and is difficult to find form when you play only 10 minutes per game. Salihi was injured before he settled in his new team, also Mavraj is very upset that Hamdi is playing in a country which systematically kill and abuse his muslim brothers. Edmond Kapllani came from the bench and scored twice, that's also very bad news because he is serious candidate to be on the list.
Only positive news are that Gashi,Meha, Hysaj are on good form and Aliji and Roshi are playing playing constantly. Bulku was worst Tirana player and Vila was worst Partizani player this season but i can't see De Biasi dropping the phenomenon and Pacha of Iaoninna.

I am only hoping that Mergim will use his influence and pray to Allah to get things back on track. IN MERGIM WE TRUST!

 

Mavraj is very upset that Hamdi is playing in a country which systematically kill and abuse his muslim brothers.

:howler:

Good post. Most of the players seem out of form/injury prone. Even Roshi who plays can't last 90 minutes, he gets tired after 45. Berisha makes team of the week and next week he gets dropped. THat's the worst and that's when you know you should move.

 

You know this team ZencaDoni :thumbsup:

 

A lot of our players have recently battled injuries and are having trouble finding form, so the Albanians are not alone. Mkhitaryan is finally starting to put together decent performances in Dortmund, yet most of our other players who play in Russia, Ukraine, and other Eastern European countries have just started the second half of their seasons.

 

There are still 20 days left to the game, i am sure that your players who play in eastern countries can reach their best form. Mkhitaryan is doing fine at Dortmund. What about Ozbiliz? He will be available?

 

Berisha had good performance against Napoli but it will be on bench tonight against Viola tonight.
Cana is recovered from injury and will be on bench.
Mavraj played only 5 minutes but good news is that Wimmer was sent off and Mergim will start against Dortmund next week.
Hysaj was suspended but will be back next week.
Agolli played 90 minutes and his rubbish team won.
Ajeti wasn't selected against Thun.
Aliji played 90 minutes in a draw agaist Zurich.
Lila made debut in Serie A, played in last 15 minutes.
Ermir Lenjani wasn't selected against Metz.
Xhaka played 90 minutes against Thun
Kace was suspended and missed game agaist Panathinaikos.
Abrashi played 90 minutes against Luzern
Basha was on bench against Udinese
Kukeli is still injured
Hyka played 90 minutes against Grasshoppers.
Roshi is injured and probably will be back next week.
Rama played 30 minutes.
Memushaj wasn't selected, should be suspended or injured.
Meha played 90 minutes against Leverkusen.
Gashi scored twice and only played 60 minutes, first goal was brilliant.
Cikaleshi finally scored and played full match
Balaj was injured and probably will be back next week.
Cani still is playing only 2 minutes per match.
Avdijaj played in 30 minutes.
Kapllani played only 60 minutes and his substitute scored later on the game.
Cani is playing 3 minutes per game.
Sadiku finally was in starting line up, he played 60 minutes.

 

Ozbiliz was not one of the 17 players playing outside of Armenia that were called up. He won't be fit in time, lucky for you

Here is who Challandes called up

 

Terrible timing for this game as most of our players arent regulars with their team. Oh well....

Btw; where is everybody?!

 

Starting line up isn't bad,
Berisha is second choice keeper but when he is selected he doing good(We will see him again against Napoli)
Hysaj is top form, has improved a lot as player since last game.
Mavraj didn't played as much we would liked but he was solid anytime he played this season and we already know that he is by far our best player since he made debut in national team.
Cana played a lot this season and his form was solid, i think it is good that he does some rest because can easily get injured.
Both contenders Agolli and Aliji for left back spot are playing on their teams constantly
Xhaka is one Basel key players and my only issue that he would a bit tired.
Kukeli is injured for the moment but he will be ready for Zurich next game. We know that Memushaj can easily replace him, he is in good form, already considered one of best serie B players.
Abrashi also key player at Grasshoppers and is having good season but he should fight for spot with Kace one the best PAOK players, won for second year on the row "Greece league talent of year".
Lenjani is only one who is really struggling, it is pity because he was our best player but we have Gashi in superb form who is eager to show De Biasi and whole nation what he is able to do.
Roshi didn't played last game because of minor injury but in last month he had best performances in Fsv Frankfurt jersey. Meha is doing fine with Paderborn and De Biasi has luxury to have as alternative for both flanks one of best free kick takers on the game but we all know that if Roshi won't make it will be Lila(De Biasi favorite player) who will take his place.
Balaj is still slight favorite to start against,before his injury had very good games with Rijeka and Cikaleshi was struggling but now that Sokol has scored i have impression he won't stop anymore. It will be tough decision for De Biasi.

 

luckily for us many of their legionnaires play in Kazakhstan, Lithuania, and Belarus.

 

It's Mikhtaryan & friends basically. roud:

But they play hard so anything can happen.

 

This time around, Armenia will have more support around Mkhitaryan. We have a healthier Yura Movsisyan, and the reason he has not gotten much support in this campaign is because of the formation Armenia has been playing (a defensive formation). With our coach in a win or get fired situation, Armenia will most likely be more offensive

 

I'm still worried Armenia might edge a win, what do Most Armenian fans predict?
Tbh Armenia have been vvery unlucky, lost by 1 goal to portugal and denmark, missed a penalty against serbia.
I see my team struggling against Armenia if we play defensively.

 

i hope you can afford a new heart because when albania plays you are bound to heart attacks

 

Most Armenia fans are concerned because Mkhitaryan picked up a slight injury on a challenge by Mavraj, but he seems to be ok

 

So Mavraj failed to take him out? What a loser. Mission failed.

 

Ha ha very funny

 

Yes I saw it on youtube, doesn't look too bad he'll mostly like pla, but are armenian fans confident they'll take something from the game?

 

I think it's a an even money bet. Albania would probably be slight favorites though.

 

18 players who are invited for match against Armenia

Etrit Berisha (Lazio), Alban Hoxha (Partizani)
Lorik Cana (Lazio), Mërgim Mavraj (Fc Koln), Arlind Ajeti (Fc Basel), Ansi Agolli (Qarabag), Elseid Hysaj (Empoli), Andi Lila (Parma)
Emir Lenjani (Rennes) Alban Meha (Paderborn), Taulant Xhaka (FC Basel), Ergys Kaçe (PAOK), Amir Abrashi (Grasshopers) Migjen Basha(Torino), Shkëlzen Gashi (FcBasel) Odise Roshi (FSV Frankfurt)
Bekim Balaj (Rijeka), Sokol Cikalleshi (RNK Split)

Shehi,Aliji,Kapllani,Rama are my predictions to be called up

 

I'm tired of seeing Kapllani's name on DB's lists. Avdijaj please.

 

Lila will most likely play as a winger again, this isn't good! Roshi is much better!

 

18 so far, but how many more?
I read strakosha had been invited or isn't that true?
This will most likely be our defence
Berisha
Hysaj cana Mavraj agolli


Not sure about midfield because lenjani hasn't played much!
Lila will probably start and abrashi also.
I hope he doesn't pick another bad formation and cost us the game.

 

I think i was wrong about Rama so i think it will be Shehi,Aliji, Memushaj and one between Kapllani and Salihu

 

DB already confirmed Aliji is in. He rates him highly.

Basha is a 50/50. Albanian leaguers are in for sure even if they don't play.

I wouldn't be surirpised if Lenjani was completely dropped. Same with Vajushi.

Strakosha I believe is suspended from all NTs because he didn't show up in Gega's camp in Turkey.

 

I hope Memushaj gets a place in midfield. There's no coincidence lots of Serie A teams are after him and he's Pescaras (C). Really impressed by his performances lately..

 

That's a respectable achievement from him, I still remember his debut with the NT, he was very bad in that game.

 

He was bad Indeed but he was very good against both France and Italy lately. He's a perfect CM.

 

Kukeli hasn't been invited yet, is he injured??
I hope meha plays instead of kukeli if he's invited.

 

Brace yourself people! The legend has returned! We are all Bulku
