We can’t be blaming other players for one players bad performance. I agree that the way the national team has been set up is poor. An ageing Torosidis can only do so much. Also Fortounis doesn’t run as much as he should. Playing 2 defensive midfielders will get you nowhere. That’s Jose Mourinho football. Look at him now, he has gotten the sack. Balance is important. I always find this team sabotaging itself. Also international football is not easy. They don’t play week in and week out and the games are spaced out in the year. Injuries can happen and there’s not much time for experimenting. 1 bad game and and the managers get criticised. I actually don’t know how Anastasiadis will do. Reason I say that is because as a coach he has to rely on his tactical ability and knowledge rather than going to the transfer market. He has to deal with what he has and has to come up with something of his own when the team is not producing results. He has to be on his toes all year. I believe this team needs 2 things, a good coach and a new EPO. Then we can see the real potential of the team. Right now we just better hope our players perform and be a team. Not 1 player will save this team it’s a team sport.

I agree with you in regards to Lambrou & Masouras. I don’t think you can bag out Fetfa for so many things and ignore Limnios’s weaknesses, I think he needs to work on much of his game too but he is young so hopefully all comes with time. Also you are ignoring some of the good things Lazaros has done, look at WC 2014, Serie A, his form for AEK & OSFP has been good but age is important for the NT right now so I don’t really mind if we do give younger and fast wingers an actual chance to help and establish

That would be the dream re...

Lamprou and Chatz on the Wings, Donis as SS rather than Fortounis at AM. Why look at more of the same slow stuff?

I rate Donis, Fetfatzidis and Lamprou more than Lazaros. Lamprou is proving to be a good player abroad. Donis is younger and faster than Lazaros. Fetfatzidis has far more technique and more skillful. The only thing Lazaros has over all our wingers is that he can score amazing goals. But that’s only once every 6 months. Ofcourse he would do well in the GSL. Was never this good abroad. I find him too predictable and a bit selfish at the wrong times. Also he hasn’t done much in the national team. I was a fan of his but I rate others more now.

hopefully Masouras is good at Oly. I don't care about age, I care about form and quality. IMO Lazaros is one of our most in form wingers. Would gladly take Holebas right now too if didn't leave. He's one of the best LB in the premier league. The NT is for the best players at the current moment. It's not a youth academy.

People still talking about Lazaros at his 32. You guys forget too easily. Christodoulopoulos has been s%$#! for us. Even Fetfatzidis has been performing better than him with the NT. He was mediocre last season. He is s%$#! now. He only has 2 years left. Get the f*ck over him it's not your ex to be so obsessed with him. We have decent keepers. Decent CBs currently and promising youngs on their positions. DecentLBs(Stafy,Koutris probably the duo we continue with) We have a good defensive 6 in Kourbelis(if only he wasn't injured all the time) Promising 8 in Galanopoulos Our best player is Fortounis and is probably a very good 10 wastinghis time with olympiakos. Strikers in Mitroglou,Koulouris. Donis can stand as SS/ winger. Whole Pao team promising as f*ck. Why you tryna to predict the future tho? After the 2-0 loss to finland I realised that it's too unhealthy to follow the NT obssesively. We re on our down and that takes time. I am not expecting us to qualify from this group. Finishing 3rd is realistic. Team needs a turnover in mentality that's our bigger issue we could stomp the Bosnians on a good day and definately can get a couple of points from uninterested Italy.

Yeah I love the smell of cow sh1t in the morning
