Irlandos Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 We would have to play Malezas on the left side or bring Katsouranis back :tdown: Guys, I hope I'm wrong but I have a bad feeling about this match.

Irlandos Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 In that zougla.com article there was a bit of history between Greece and Germany. Actually, they list the 2nd game first: In our first game ever against the Germans we lost 2-1 away. The 2nd game was at home and we were playing OK and even won a penalty but Hans Tilkowski stopped Kostas Nestoridis' shot. We went on to lose 3-0.

Irlandos Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Where is Ninis playing? Is this a 4-4-2 or our usual 4-3-3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarvis1981 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 In a perfect world, when the midfield captain goes down the much younger replacement has a game that makes everyone else forget about who was missing. Ninis has that chance today, so far he hasn't done anything but he will make us all forget games 1 through 3 if he puts one in. For Greece in general, they must survive the first 15 minutes. Germany will come at them like the Czechs did and try to get one or two right away. One other thing, Kloze starting over Gomez??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro2004 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Don't like our line up! Prior to the line up I was concerned about being overrun in the centre of midfield, but had hope because we had strong flanks. Now with Ninis right wing (the guy is too slow to play there and doesn't track back at all!) it will mean that Torosidis will probably be pinned back. Our best "weapon" is Torosidis' crosses so that will nulify that now. We should have kept Salpi on the right and gone with Mitroglou up front to hold the ball up. Alternatively we could have played Fortunis or Fetfa on the left with Samaras up front. Not keen on this line up at all. Fingers crossed I'm wrong! Their right side isn't particularly strong today. Reus is quality but drifts centrally which could leave Boateng a little exposed. We have to get at him. Fetfa could be introduced later to turn him inside out. He's big and strong so could do well against Samaras but I Fetfa could cause him problems, particularly in the last 20 mins when he's a little tired. Badstuber I've never been that keen on, despite the fact that he's highly rated. He's not quite a left back but isn't quite a centre back, we should look to expose him aerially and boateng/hummels with movement. Collectively they are also poor at set pieces. I'd say we have about 10% chance of doing it. Let's hope we get some luck today! One more point, lucky Tzavellas is passed fit because Santos might have moved Torosidis there and played Maniatis right back. Makos, Fotakis, Ninis would have then been our midfield which would have been too weak, and it would have taken away Torosidis' crossing ability from the right hand side.
