Skibbe has been trying to mould Tzioli into Pirlo. Don't forget the milkman, Galanopoulos. Trying someone new like Androutsos or Bouchalakis is a great idea with forward thinking..

Tachtsidis could be our very best midfielder on his day. He is talented. Zeca has the most energy and has been beneficial for our team. I'm keen to let Samaris have another chance. By the way some benfica fans say that he is not a number 6. He is more of 10 or 8 they say. Ive been saying for a while push him forward and not have him so deep. I'd leave that to Tachtsidis feel because of his long range passing and cleverness in his play. But where does that leave Zeca? I think Samaris has been misused. Most of his goals in his whole career has been from him pushing up into space or from set pieces. I'd leave the holding role for Tachtsidis, Zeca and Kourbelis. For box to box midfielders I'd have Samaris, Mantalos and Bouchalakis. We don't have anyone else. We are no Spain or Germany who have a good amount of depth in their talent pool. Benfica wanted to mould Samaris into a 6 when he should have been moulded into an 8 in my opinion.

Yes so now were on 1 point. All minds were clearly on benfica. For me biseswar looked like be really has the difference in him that little time that he played and I missed watching him, hopefully he can show us something in the games coming up. It all about benfica now

based on current form I'd rank it 1) Zeca 2) Mantalos 3) Galanopoulos 4) Bouchalakis 5) Kourbelis 6) Samaris 7) Tachtsidis 8 ) Androutsos 9) Tziolis 10) Petsos 11) Siopis not sure if i'm missing anyone. I'm thinking zeca cdm and mantalos as cm right now. if we have 3 of sokratis manolas retsos kpaps siovas available we could also just do 3 cb's zeca as sole cdm and put more attack minded midielders
