I'm not comparing anything, I'm saying what I and everybody else sees on the pitch. We are so tactically disciplined we struggle to beat teams like Andorra, Liechtenstein, Faroe Islands, etc. Yes, we have to start from somewhere, and that would include calling up deserving players, having a manager that doesn't have any inside shit on FA, favor for a favor, somebody has shit on others, basically a foreign coach who cares and that provides a fresh look on football. With the best recent examples being hockey and basketball NT coaches.

lol, we are absolutely dogshit, the manager has no risk taking in squad selection, in positions where we do have at least some exciting players worth looking at, instead calling up players that dont have gametime in their clubs. Team often looks like they can't string 5 passes together, havent achieved any goals set, including winning D division in nations league, which should be an absolute minimum goal.
Today was a good change in the background of manager's seat being very hot, ultras leaving the stadium in the first half in protest, and some of the players being out, which actually propelled good changes in the lineup, players that most of us wanted to see. And Uldriķis wasn't shit for once.
I don't know which other national teams call up players to give them match fitness in NT rather than club. What is consistency worth when the results and the play is shit? Turkey is a team we do very well against historically, a number of draws and minimal losses even in recent years, in fact, should have gotten a draw this year too. In away game definitely not nearly as confident.
