^Blackhawk you are absolutely right. I've had said this from day one. I don't care how boring our soccer looks what I care about is results, we need to go back to our boring defensive minded style of play and find out ways to sneak a 1-0 wins. I understand we will tie a lot of games but that's okay and least we will not be losing to teams like Lux and FI. For some reason it went to a lot of people's head that we need to get away from what was successful and very boring looking to all of sudden becoming this attacking force. We suck when we do that and are very easy to score against when we play that way. The game against Turkey which I wasn't happy with only because all this s%$#! has happened before, but realistically we went in to Turkey we gave up more chances but our Defence held its own and we created a few counter attacks and possibly could come out with a 1-0 victory. That's how the Greek team needs to play against every opponent. I also hear a lot of guys saying we should play Defence against the better teams and open it up against the weaker teams in the World Cup campaign. If we do that we will lose to cypress and possibly Estonia just like we did with Lux and FI. I guarantee if we played boring defensive soccer we would be in the euros right now. STOP trying to change our style it doesn't work for us. Everyone is scratching there heads to what in the world possibly went wrong with this team and the answer is simple, play to our strengths and forget trying to make us an attacking team at the expense of our defense.

Exactly. The deviation from that style with Ranieri/Markarian/Tsanas experiments cost us EURO 2016 qualification. The sooner we get back to that style, that's when we see some winning ways. It's obvious that we just don't have the players to play wide attacking style. Biggest mistake by EPO (Sarris) was treating Santos like dirt during and after the WC and not trying to extend his contract.

Good on Giannou im happy for him and hope he does well for the NT, many didn't know Samaras was also eligible for Australia either only recently it was brought up in the Aussie media. I am actually surprised Ange didn't chase him more since he has given many no name Aussies a go in our NT and they have done well when called upon. As for the game today very defensive at times I saw 11 players in our 3rd when Turkey was attacking, I don't know how the coach will change this and get us going forward and attacking more. Atleast we kept a clean sheet but the way we are going getting to Russia in 2018 is going to be very difficult.

So he should, it's about time his pay lined up with his performance. As far as I'm concerned if the figures for his current pay are accurate, we owe a fair bit of cash.

Schibbe himself stated it was a 3 - 5 - 2 in press conference the reports are dicey. like for the luxenbourg game Katsouranis was in the expected lineup LOL (apparently they didn't get the memo he retired) anyone have a full video of the game? would love to watch it before bed I only saw 5 different highlight reals. the turkish commentators were going nuts. glad to see that a population 8x smaller then them can get them aroused so easily ;)

I think FC St Pauli is always open to new fans.

If he could actually finish, he wouldn't be playing for PAOK

C'mon man, we all go for ethniki.

I'm keen to Cimirot play. I'd like to see him pared with Kace or Charisis, or even have all 3 in the middle.

Bravo! So we are filarakia again?

lol I'm probably going to get thrashed by this but I think fetfatzidis should be a starter if not a first choice bench option. he's our best winger by a long shot.

ausgreek, I was ridiculed by people for predicting a 0-0. I don't want to offend anyone but it's a forum where we all express our opinions. My opinions are just better argued or considered than certain others. I don't care for Australian football. I have been involved in it for over 30 years. I am Greek. I support the nation of Hellas with all the problems that come with that. Sorry for offending you but don't take it personally. Enjoy the 4-0 against the mighty Bangladesh and have a wank at the Lowy and Les Murray shrine. BTW, I don't post from my bedroom. My mama takes my phone from me.

Greenman Euro's are the best event to go to, I have been to a few of them now and that's the best thing I have done, I put it above the World Cups also just the buzz and atmosphere the streets have is insane and I am sure France will be awesome......

RESPECT.

This is so immature, how old are these Olympiacos fans? Anything over 8 and I feel bad

Wow look how much we miss Samaras,I know a lot of guys on here never liked him but if he was on this team he would be a guaranteed starter. Look how much we miss someone that can take a pass make a pass and dribble and slow the pace down. Now I understand he doesn't have a club and he's out of form but F*** I would love to have him back.

I think the Eye-talians would call that a perfect game.
