Key to success until the end of the season:
1. Keep the great atmosphere under Karipidis as it has been almost from day 1 he arrived
2. Keep splitting Matilla-Sasha partnership from 1st minute as it has been executed with Jeggo
3. Revitalization of Sundgren that made Ganea on bench, plus made more competition at wing-backs
4. Splitting the partnership of Datković from 1st minute with any player Rose or Delizissis (Benalouane in, of course I don't wish anyone got injured for execution of this)
5. Benalouane converting to Ronaldo Guiaro type by each match coming and not converting to Mavrai, if you understand me
6. Get away from injuries (depending on other natural factors as well, I know)
7. Garcia and Silva producing at least as much as Fetfatzidis in terms of assists and goals, by sharing minutes or in any way suitable for a team to be effective (and probably more than that).
8. A striker position needs to produce more in terms of goals, and not act exclusively as another offensive midfielder inside or acting like 'virtual' No.9 position only for the sake of filling in that position
A Top 3 guarantee almost. For Top 2, a certain more issues or most of these above need to be put together.
Very important for the psychology of the team to keep going and slip as late in the season as possible, so there is something to fight for until the end, and not like the last season where playoffs were pain in the A to watch.
Below is a link to JVS speaking about Fortounis and explaining how he was able to take advice on board and showed improvement in his problem areas over the last few games.

Based on how JVS praised him, I'd say there's a good chance he's a starter come the Qualifiers in March.
0-1 τελικό. Πήραμε το 3ποντο και φυσιολογικά δεν θα πρέπει να έχουμε παράπονο. Αλλά για ομάδα που πατά 1η θέση εγώ θα περίμενα κάτι παραπάνω. (Εντάξει, δεν κινδυνέψαμε, αλλά έχοντας το νου μας συνεχώς πίσω, ξεχνάμε το μπροστά. Και η μπαλίτσα θέλει δίκτυα. Προς το παρών δεν το έχουμε το εύκολο γκολ και τη διαφορά ασφαλείας).
Μου άρεσαν Σούντγκρεν και Σάκιτς απόψε, αν και περίμενα περισσότερα από κάποιους άλλους.
Problem is you have Silva and Garcia who want ball to be given to, in order to run and threaten the opposing goal, and not liking too much to be involved with ball, actions, creating etc. as much as for example Fetfatzidis wanted, or even that fighter Mancini, or even Bertoglio.
As a result, you have Aris who cannot string more than 2 passes in successiveness.
