Its probably the injury, he returns to the starting scheme of Benfica vs Besiktas (away) today so that means he is something for them. Samaris Maniatis was a good midfield in WC 2014. Team literally had the best transition possibly in the IC game,when Katsou was banned. Holebas also gave fresh air then. There is seriously something we are missing here as to why Maniatis is still getting picked. I understand your concerns about Tziolis getting call-ups but Maniatis surely has something we probably are not aware of.
Dont be so harsh on the team. They were considered the underdogs and "a lucky draw" for the romanians in 2013. We dominated. We were considered the underdogs for 2010 Ukraine as well. We dominated. The stronger the opponent, the more the pressure they apply, the more the spaces they open. Sadly Belgium has 6 key players like Carassco,Hazard, Lukaku, De Bruyne, Ninja Mertens, that our defence has to deal with. Given that we find solutions in defence, even with a 9 defenders lineup, their defence is rusty. I know our offence is nothing close to Bosnia's and BELG still didnt concede. If we manage to keep them at bay for long enough, they re probably not used to it.
