Key injuries: Retsos (activated by Leverkusen but not yet in game shape after lengthy injury), Donis, Papadopoulos, Stafylidis. Note: Several notable talents left out in order for them to play in crucial U21 Euro Fixtures.

You guys are never happy. If any of us could do better with the selections, we wouldn’t be on this forum. He hasn't Even coached a game yet and already here we go. Has it ever occurred to any of you that maybe, just maybe none of these players but 3 or 4 are any good anyway. We’re arguing because fetfatzidis isn’t on the team or lazaros? I can understand the arguing if Ronaldo or Mbappe we’re not called up to their teams. But those 2 aren’t even average players in world standards.

Sorry for the wrong info. The press conference is on Monday, November 12.

Hell yeah man.

Δυστυχώς (ή μάλλον ευτυχώς) όταν έχεις στο μυαλό σου το πρωτάθλημα και την Ευρώπη δεν έχεις χρόνο να ασχοληθείς με νεοφώτιστες. Εδώ απλά κάνουμε μια συζήτηση, το τι θα κάνετε με άλλες ομάδες ούτε καν με αποστολεί. Ούτως ή άλλως μέχρι τώρα μόνο με τον ΠΑΟΚ σκυλιάσατε.

Obviously form got Fetfa into the previous squad, so I'm scratching for two reasons. Firstly I'm itchy, secondly I cannot figure out why Ange A didn't pick him as its not Fetfa's form. The Only reason that would be acceptable is that Ange A will play 3 at the back, with wingbacks. There is more chance of Socceroos winning the World Cup than me watching Hellas play with 3 at the back. Will Never happen. Not too fussed on the other omissions.

Your right, I said it too about no Lazaros but overall we shouldn't complain and with this crop of players Greece should not have a problem beating Finland and especially Estonia at home.

I think you may be right. I believe we do have 3 or 4 players that are very good and that’s about it. The rest are either poor footballers or average and don’t deliver for the national team.

Interested to see how the senior players in the squad respond to Angelos as manager. He is a very polarising person, I feel they'll either love him or hate him no in between. Hopefully it's the former and we can end the nations league on a high and go into Euro 2020 qualifying with a full head of steam.
