Bringing in Greek former players from EURO 2004 championship team is a brilliant idea! They know something about a winning culture!

If the coach does omit those players stated than it will be a refreshing start for the NT. Hopefully the EPO can get Vlachodimos paperwork done and we start him in goal for the upcoming EURO qualifiers and bring in Gallanopoulos

This article says big changes are coming and Tziolis,Tzavellas will not be called up again either will Karnezis.. he is looking at adding Tsamikas,Gallanopoulos and others... http://www.agonasport.com/agonasport-allnews/20181016-8ygrj

I hope so man. Send the message from the beginning, long and loud and god damn f##king hard. Two major issues. The first is the complacency of the players. Too many keep getting selected when they shouldn’t be. The second is if he’ll change the system we play to suit the players we have. We don’t have wingers so why bother with a system that uses them. At least that’s what I reckon. Vlschodimos in goal. I’d be playing 3 at the back. 2 attacking wing backs that can run all day. Probably Limnios for the right wb or Bakakis. Left side the young kid that plays for Olympiakos. In the middle Zeca as the 6. Mantalos and Pelkas playing as 8’s. Pelkas for me is really an 8 anyway. The kid runs all day and doesn’t have the game to be a number 10. Up front Fourtounis and a striker. I say “a striker” because I wouldn’t be playing Mitroglou but I know there are many that would disagree. I don’t have time for lazy players. Besides, he hasn’t been interested in playing soccer since leaving Olympiacos. The guy has been more than happy to be a bench warmer and collect big pay checks for the last 3 years. Might as well stick him on the bench for the NT also.

Yes. Moments like these is where you kill the game off. P.S. This was the first game I watched live this season and our perfect start gets destroyed. Jinx. No more live games for me.

I just saw article that Greece are looking at proposal to co host 2030 World Cup with Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania. God that would be incredible if we won the bid!

By the time he retires he’ll be a devout Orthodox Jew.

Espirito Santo, the coach of Wolverhampton, first time replaced a player from the regular starting line up after 9 consecutive matches playing with the same starting XI. They have looked good. Quique Hernandez didn't rotate much, although some of them didn't like him, Cuper most of the time also didn't use rotation in big manner. Bajević had stability and trust in the core players from line-up. There is also that Portuguese coach that didn't change that I liked very much - hmmm the name? Oh yeah Manuel Machado. I don't say that Paco could have done it (forced the same 11), since we had some injuries, but regardless of them he still started certain rotation. Come on, without certain dose of money and depth in the team (read: Olympiakos and Paok) you should not rotate much in Greek football if you want to win matches in series. This is my theory. Yes - Menendez - in. I also didn't know Diguiny and positions in the game, what he does bla bla, as I stated that concern earlier, so did you guys, but still plays ok-ish and always hungry for a run and/or shoot, moves a lot etc. Matilla - good passing compared to some guys that play on the same positions. Velez - he looks clumsy sometimes, but actually it was seen that we had missed him against AEK. And Delizissis too missed, that is without a doubt, and Sousa not fav player of the coach. Come on, 3 stoppers are not there and/or favored for this or that reason. Too much and you are always gonna lose the stability between the lines on pitch. Krima that Paco too soon lost his plot. I always thought we could get better out of away matches especially. I don't blame him for a home loss to Paok, 'cause we tried. I was pissed off at Younes. Some players are not used with their 100% potential - Martinez, Sousa, Menendez, Diamantopoulos and that is the biggest disadvantage of this coach and what I blame him for.

I am not so sold in Karnezis being completely ostracized from the team. If he plays well for Napoli (he seems to be playing every third game) and we have a need at goal keeping, he wouldn't be a bad call up. Obviously, give it to the most in form player but he is not bad by any means.

Apparently big changes coming.... He has completely changed the coaching staff, and apparently Tziolis, Tzavellas and Karnezis will not be part of the NT going forward.. He is also going to be working closely with Nikopolidis in regards to the young guys... If this reporting is accurate then things are definitely looking up... I hope he does a press conference soon.. EPO is so unorganized as they should have had a formal press conference with the new coach and his plans before he starts the nations league games in 2 weeks..

Το ΠΟΚ θα κάνει τα αδύνατα δυνατά να χάσουμε αυτό το ματς. Ο Ολυμπιακός πηγαίνει ολοταχώς για -3. Η ΑΕΚ παίζει ντέρμπι με τον Παναθηναϊκό όπου φυσικά είναι καλύτερη ομάδα, αλλά μπορεί ο βάζελος να κάνει την έκπληξη. Όπερ σημαίνει, αν ο ΠΑΟΚ κερδίσει και τον Ατρόμητο πιθανότατα η ψαλίδα θα ανοίξει κι άλλο τουλάχιστον με τον γαύρο και ίσως και με την ΑΕΚ. Συμπέρασμα, θα παίξουν τα ρέστα τους για να χάσουμε. Κανείς οπαδός μας στο γήπεδο. Ούτε μεμονομένα. Είναι βέβαιο ότι θα γίνει μανούρα. Να μπει η ομάδα μέσα και να τους πατήσει. Όπως έκανε και με τους υπόλοιπους. Νίκη ακόμα και με μισό μηδέν. Και μετά δεν μας σταματάει τίποτα!

This Bouzoukis player could turn out to be something pretty good!
