^really like that line up.

MAS KLEPSAN TIN KAMARA RE m#$%!!!!

The game is in 2 weeks, but opening the topic early Need to finish strong going into the playoffs PAME!

What do you expect from Mitsotakis? That he ends the corruption his own family benefited from for many years? There are only a few politicians in Greece who have the competence to change something of significance in Greece without having a corrupt lobby behind them. Yannis Boutaris would be a rare example for a competent and independent Greek politician. But people like him won't get elected for a special reason. Instead we have to deal with corrupt and incompetent family dynasties like Papandreou or Karamanlis.

don't joke about that s%$#!, they'll grab a knife and run you through

So we need a ton of players this offseason to actually have a shot of qualifying for the group stages of Europa League. 1. Goalkeeper: Baroja is on loan and I don't see enough in him to warrant buying him. I liked him a lot in the beginning of the year but he seems to have the same problem as Anestis with crosses. He's also older than Anestis, shorter, and is not as good of a shot stopper. I'd keep Anestis as a backup and buy an experienced and proven top quality Keeper. 2. Centerback: We need to get two. Kolovetsios has taken huge steps up this year and he can be a starter next year but other than him we have nothing. Arzo is garbage, and Labropoulos is average. I'd get one centerback that's faster, more experienced, and better than Kolovetsios to play next to him. I'd also get another one that's of similar quality to Kolovetsios for depth. I'd keep Tzanetopoulos as a 4th option and give him game time in the cup and against mediocre opponents to continue his development. 3. Left back: I like Didac a lot, but he seems to get a lot of yellow cards and misses games because of that, and he has a bad injury history. So, I would find a backup that's around the same level of him defensively. Soiledis is good offensively but if Didac gets hurt and we have a European game with Soiledis trying to defend we are in trouble. 4. Right back: We have Bakakis, Galo, and Vasiloantonopoulos, we have plenty of coverage here. 5. Midfield: We have Simoes Johanson Mantalos and Cordero here. We have plenty of starting quality. I would try go get Zuculini back, and another younger midfield for depth. He can be playing in the super league already. Some options: Siopis from Panionions, and Kourbelis from Asteras. 6. Wings: We only have Barbosa that's a true winger. We need at least one more winger that is similar a player to Barbosa, and then keep Vargas, and maybe Platellas as bench options. Along with the one winger, I'd make a huge push for Bakasetas that can play up top, on the wing, and behind the striker. 7. Strikers: The huge problem area. We need a gun up here. We need a player here that can do it all. Tall, quick, great ball control, great finisher, and great technique. We can't mess this one up, we need our own Berg style player. If we aren't going to splash the cash for a star striker then we need to make a push for Vellios because he has the potential to be this kind of player. We need anywhere between 6-8 good players to come so we can finish somewhere close to Olympiakos, and get into the group stages of Europe League and do decent there. All of these players, and Poyet to stay.

Lazaros has been playing lately and scored a goalara a couple weeks ago. He probably should have been called up. I would rather have maniatis called up instead of Tziolis. He played well a couple weeks ago against genk, so he should be match fit. He could be useful off the bench, since he has chemistry with samaris and fortounis. Maniatis would also stabilize things defensively.

Just looking at the pros and cons, is Maniati available and match fit? If Skibbe really needs an experienced hand to hold Samari's hand deep lying, then why not pick Gianni, as he has a high tempo game. Tzioli isn't high tempo and his passing game I'm lead to believe is no better than Maniatis. Like to see Petso's game develop at this level more so.

When will Greece ever play against United States?
