I always enjoyed talking football to/with you guys at old forum, at this one, all these years. More than a decade.
But I find strange how I almost always agreed with 90% of you when it comes to rating our players, roster overall, one by one player every season. We knew what their pros and cons were, how they breathe.
But when it comes to coaches, actually I kinda have had different opinions with more than 50% of you. Maybe, because I am Balkanian from my birth and am linked to living at this peninsula of Balkans whole my life and, although I am not a typical citizen of this area, but probably still do have some common characteristics. ?
Having this introduction, when majority supported Bajević, I didn't like nor rate him, when people supported Hoyos more than long enough, I waited for his sacking. I rated Quique Hernandez, many people didn't etc etc. And I have several more examples.
Similar is with Paco Herrera. Not a huge fan of. So, am probably close to Mitsos' opinion. 4 in a row, 5 in 6, come on??! Can't find solutions after crisis took place, some players not used at fullest and many liabilities. Not so unreasonable to me. Yes, nice guy, yes that smile, yes he brought some players that made us believe, yes, I don't rate Greek coaches, yes I worry about who will replace him and whether he will stop this bad run etc etc.
I also was one who put the bar at 8th grade of standings as season ending goal... Anything better is a bonus. But come on, 5 in 6 losses, disjointed team at Oaka, exposed defense where you concede 2 goals from 5 meters at home against Oly and Paok, and what to tell you also what we conceded at AEK. I couldn't take it any more.
