Best thing to do is quit this team?? What type of mentality is that re? I’ll tell you, the wrong one. I guess if we continue on current projectory it’s hard to actually watch the games but I think there is some pretty basic things that will help fix the Ethniki. 1. Play people in their position 2. Stop giving kreata the same opportunity over and over again, only to get the same result each time 3. Play in form players 4. Use friendlies to be productive with changes, not just the same old (Skibbe did this all the time) 5. 2 & 3 should create some competitive edge to the team, not the current complacency we have seen

Done with the old guard except for Toro, for now. Vlahomidos Toro (c) Manolas Retsos Koutris Galanopoulos-(metro beard) Fortounis Chatzigiovannis Donis Lamprou Koulouris

I have a hunch that the new coach is going to go with youth. I expect to see L. Lamprou, Koutris, Tzimikas, Galanopoulos, Limnios, Hatzigiovanis and maybe Mavropanos (if not injured) come into the squad. He made it clear when overlooking Lazaros for the Estonia match. Team has been hurt by injuries at key times; K Pap, Retsos, Donis, Stafylidis and to a lesser extent Manolas & Soc missed key matches. NT cannot continue to play slow tempo football against weak opposition. If we do, expect to see more of the same. Actually, this has been problem for 10-12 years. Difference now is we are losing these matches 1-0. Weak teams park the bus and embarrass us on the counter. When was the last time we scored 3 goals? I see progress, but it will be slow. I also have a hunch that Soc will retire if we don’t make it to Euro 2020. We can’t lose to Bosnia away. A win vs Italy would be a huge boost. We will need to do better vs Finland and the return legs v Bosnia and Italy will determine our fate if we don’t stuff it up before then.

Best line up is this Manolas Sokratis Retsos Torosidis - Kourbelis - Stafylidis/Koutris Zeka Fortounis Mitroglou Donis 3-5-2 get past anything else for now. EDIT: I just saw that Dean posted the same lineups with only Torosidis (he is still a game changer at Olympiakos tho so I give him +1 year at least) and 3rd CB different. Nibbas Im honestly telling you you need to enjoy watching the NT more than being obsessed with it making it. Right now we re in no position to ask. Their limit is finishing 3rd.

We can also put Retsos and Mavropanos there aswell.

Yeah but what kind of fan would abandon their team? We can’t just give up... let’s not be those people that support the team only in the good times. The reason why we support the national team is because of having pride and passion for the country and the sport. That’s why we are on here file...
