I only watched the highlights against Norwich but besides getting completely Crossed over by a Norwich winger, it seems like he had a good game, some great corner kicks, crosses, and even a decent shot on target. im impressed with his delivery.. I didn’t see much of gianoulis in the highlights with the exception of a cross that was caught by the keeper

Played the whole match in the opening match of the season for Liverpool. Probably because Robertson was injured. Got a clean sheet against Norwich City. If he is doing well he might give Klopp a headache which of them to start.

Greece moved up to #48 in the August rankings

Nice analysis Dean, I like the lineup Galanopoulos for sure in the mid over Zeca and Kourbelis though Zeca still has a role to play on this team and can be utilized coming in as a sub. Mavropanos has to be starting for the Ethniki going forward and has been in great form at club lets hope he stays healthy. Our main problem is that we pretty much know that JVS will not drop Bakasetas to the bench and this gives us a huge disadvantage in our starting eleven. Also we are really going to miss Fortounis creativity, vision and skill on the ball. Olympiakos felt that yesterday as they barely generated anything in attack in being eliminated by Ludogorets in CL qualifying. Cant wait for the games JVS has to get it RIGHT and Greece need two wins!
