He should have been sacked before nation's league. Now we have to wait again to make a major tournament. The people EPO seem so clueless where the whole needs a revamp. I can't believe we missed an opportunity of hiring Schuster. Skibbe seemed like a last option if nothing else worked out. Its sickening. Koulouris, Giannoulis, Kolovetsios, Oikonomou, Tzavellas, Tziolis and Bakasetas don't deserve to be in the team especially when there are clear better options. Fetfatzidis is hands down the best we have on the ball, the things that he does all Greek players wish they could do. But no he is not looked at. Same with Siovas. Starts week in and week in the 2nd best league in the world for the past 2 years and Is only 29. Also look at Holebas. Koutris even deserves to be in this team. He has quality crosses and doesn't get beaten so easily in defence. What has Karelis done to deserve a spot? I like him and I think he is good but he hasn't played much. He should have called up Manos. Also why aren't Klonaridis and Vlachodimos in our plans? Everything is all over the place. I believe if we have a new manager and a new EPO we would see something like this.
Vlachodimos
Bakakis Manolas Sokratis Holebas
Zeca Galanopoulos
Fetfatzidis Fortounis Donis
Mitroglou
Koutris, Lazaros, Torosidis, Kourbelis, Pelkas, Mantalos, Karnezis, Gianniotis, Retsos, Siovas, Karelis, Gianniotas.
This should be the current 23 man squad. Of some players are injured or out of form we also have:
Paschalakis, Barkas, Papadopoulos, Bouchalakis, Lykogiannis, Stafylidis, Samaris, Tachtsidis, Manos, Androutsos and the rest of the u21s who are getting game time at senior level for their clubs.
These are the players that should be in and around the national team. In the 23 man team you have at least 5 experienced players in their 30s that can still play and be leaders in the dressing room. You have also got players in their peak performing at a high level eg. Manolas, Fortounis, Mitroglou and Kourbelis. Also youngsters who deserve their place in the team eg. Galanopoulos. These names are more than enough to experiment and with no Tziolis, Koulouris and so on. The PAO youth players are more talented as well. It's not that hard to create the best team possible. We good enough players in our talent pool to create a competitive team. Again it's not that hard.
