Great result, now kill Vidi!

I like both those guys. What gives me hope is that Lucescu said last year that he basically doesn't believe in playing a DM. The only reason Canas is there, is because he came back after whatshisface's injury and performed well. The moment he dips, expect Shakhov to start playing. Personally, I think Charisis has the best attributes of both Shakhov and Mauricio. He just needs to get a run in. Really, really good player.

nice game. livaja reminds me of a young mitroglou oikonomou a warrior out there. bakakis has flair and def should be NT's right back Celtic underestimated AEK. Why didn't Mantalos start?

we need Samaris to get his form back. The 5-6 games I saw of tachtsidis he was good for Oly. Samaris and Zeca in form would be the ideal for next 2 years.

Let’s not insult Katsuranis by comparing him to tziolis late in their careers. Kats played for benfica and was a difference maker. Also played for big Greek clubs.. tziolis isn’t wanted by any Greek clubs

hate it or love but tzavellas steps it up for the NT and he was very good when he was at PAOK. he gets undue hate imo and gave us some stability on the left when stafy was a question mark frustrating belgium (to the point mertens tried to bully him) fk goal vs montegro (we have been sucking at friendlies so good points) the equalizer volley vs bosnia to get us into the playoffs 1-1

Skibbe/Tsanas seem to just pick players based on the jumper they’re wearing. Watch Fetfa getting call ups soon. Not that he doesn’t deserve it, but if you’re going to call him up now then you should’ve called him up earlier. Likewise Samaris who hasn’t played a proper game in 3 years and shouldn’t be anywhere near the NT (my opinion) but because he “plays” for Benfica he gets call ups. Tziolis is just a mystery. Good boy but hasn’t been at the level required for years now. The truth is our midfield is in a sad state. Samaris, Taxi, Tziolis sorry guys they are not NT quality. If I was an opposition manager and that’s your midfield, I’d be rubbing my hands together. That midfield is about as scary as a mouse. The only half decent midfielders we have are Zeca and Kourbelis. That’s it. Yes they aren’t technical but they run and fight and don’t need to have their hands held. They are just work horses nothing else. As for the forwards, that’s another story again. Yes Mitroglou is striking fear into the hearts of opposition defences ha ha. Sad to say but I miss the days of Samaras who could actually control the ball and have just a little composure.

I don't know but if someone can back me up on this but I remember Skibbe said Tziolis played very well but I can't remember which game. Tziolis has never had a good game for the Ethniki. Skibbe is In my opinion is a yes man to someone. Playing Zeca, Mantalos, Stafylidis and Bakasetas means he is not confident enough to play the right people for that position. It's understandable that you want to play Mantalos and Fortounis in the same 11 but Zeca doesn't have to be in the wing. What wrong with playing Pelkas on the wing or Gianniotas against Croatia in the 1st leg. That's just an example.

Okay I guess I needed to dummy it down for you since you obviously didn't understand what I meant... Thanks for clarifying that we are not on the team I guess I can unpack my bags now since I won't be starting the first game of the nations league..

He is just being passionate and I understand where he is coming from. He wants the team to be serious and focused about the nation's league. Let's create positive energy instead of negative. We don't agree with what Skibbe does but we have to accept that he is there and in charge of the team so let's speak positive for the teams sake. Let's be optimistic.
