Omonoia9 Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Greece 2-0 Malta HT Genome is right, we looked bad in the last couple minutes of the half. Konstantopoulos is a spaz back there, I would hate to need him in an important match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro2004 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Going forward we've been great. Fetfa, Torosidis and Ninis have been superb and Salpi has led the line excellently too. Best I've seen us play under Santos, albeit it against a very weak team. I like that the tempo is high and that we've shown variation in our attacks. Some times we cross it high other times low, sometimes we build down the flanks, other times through the middle. That's good. Defensively we've been less than convincing though. Katsouranis and Karagounis in centre mid simply does not work. When losing the ball there's acres of space between the midfield and the defence. Karagounis can't get back in time, Katsouranis is too lazy to get back and goodness knows what Tziolis is doing from a positional sense. A stronger team would have punished. Konstantopoulos has also been poor, i'm putting it down to nerves for now. I still think our goalkeeping order should be sifakis, tzorvas and chiotis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genome Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 It's on again. Maybe it's a good move from Santos to put Konstantopoulos in for this game ... although he could've waited a few days and do it vs. Ecuador ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro2004 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 first 5 mins of the half it looks like we've fallen into the same old bad habits. not pressing, playing at a low tempo and Malta have the ball. Why not go out there and win this 5-0? Or at least wait til it's 3-0 to relax? If they score the next goal now it will be a nervous finish.

Completely agree there is no reason, and I say this without wanting to underestimate Malta, not to win this 6-0! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Should have been more goals in 1st half - just like Genome said. I don't like Ninis today. Wobbly and unreliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro2004 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Well that's a relief! We are such idiots. Why does this have to be so difficult?

Genome Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Ninis was good the first half hour, then he got sloppy (imho). Kai tora oloi prospathoun na playstationaroune to paixnidi ... Karagounis out, Kafes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Lazarus i thought Ninis was very good in the first half, didn't you?I was referring to the first half too. ;) Personally, I didn't like him. I'd expect more and better distribution from a player that had been touted as the next best thing in Greek soccer. I liked Fetfa and Salpi (although he had no luck) in the first half.
