It was in all the papers....some with a pro Mano/Papa slant, others more objective: https://www.newsbeast.gr/sports/arthro/7189280/ektos-ethnikis-me-diki-tous-apofasi-papastathopoulos-kai-manolas https://www.metrosport.gr/ethesan-eayton-ektos-ethnikis-manolas-kai-papastathopoylos-357919 https://www.alphafreepress.gr/2021/03/13/athlitismos/papastathopoulos-manolas-ethniki-ektos-me-diki-tis-apofasi/ https://www.sport24.gr/opinions/pantelis-diamantopoylos/manolas-papastathopoylos-gyrise-to-mpifteki.9173547.html Thing is JVS has created a unity within the team all the while trying out different players (can't say I agree with all of his picks) while also having to deal with deliberate attempts by certain players to destabilize the NT. I personally see Mano/Papa/Siovas as players who, for whatever reason, don't want to commit to the team anymore and that's fine. We lost a lot more games with them in the lineup than we have without them so they aren't the magical solution. I think the dream of playing more modern football is starting to show but there will be plenty of growing pains until it bears fruit.

I don't remember Sokratis/Manolas refusing to be called up. He said he would call them but I don't remember them saying that he did. Our CBs for the most part (not counting the last game) have played well. Not sure what his obsession of picking 4/5 LBs is but we are playing attacking football. Even Bakasetas has played well the last two games (never thought I'd write that). I am torn between giving him a solid shot bc I do think this group of players like him and play hard for him.

Thrylos off to a perfect start in Europa so far, they'll try to keep it going in Frankfurt.

If they refused, then you can't rely on them. I have in general, been happy with our CBs (outside of the last game). If we could only finish...
