In a few days our first cup match. Levadiakos - PAOK on September 17th, 17:30 EEST.

I believe going forward Mouzakitis has to be starting over Kourbelis. The kid is one of the most sought after young mids right now. You cannot be starting Kourbelis over Mouzakitis. He was directly responsible for their first goal with his giveaway. Tzolis is our best player right now on the NT but he gave the ball away like 4 or 5 times unacceptable. Tzolakis had a complete brain fart on the 3rd goal. What was he doing? I also find Tsimikas to be a bit of a defensive liability that's why I prefer Giannoulis. We definitely need a win in Scotland to get us back into 2nd place. I hope all the players are fit for the October games.

I wouldn't have subbed out Konstantelias and Karetsas straight away in the second half. Konstantelias looked out of it, but I would have waited until around the 60th minute mark to make changes. It was only 0-1 at that point, and these guys can create something out of nothing. It was too early to sub them out. I agree that Kourbelis shouldn't have even been in the squad, but the fact that we haven't got anyone else with height and quality yet shows that we lack real depth in this position. It's inexcusable to leave out Mouzakitis in this game; he would have brought something. He's our most creative central midfielder at the moment. I thought Zafeiris played well. He ran, covered, tackled, and even produced some individual brilliance with the ball. He's been a great addition. We need to replace Kourbelis in my opinion, and hopefully, some young player emerges soon and takes his spot. Mouzakitis should start, but we also need another player with height and quality. I expected more out of Pavlidis; I thought some of his touches were off, and the same can be said about Tzolis. We still played well, and the attacking intent is there. Also, to Denmark's credit, they were on it defensively today, getting to the ball as quickly as possible. It's a great learning curve for the young guys, as this team is mostly young, and so it should be. It's all still to play for. We have great players and should learn from our mistakes. We need more depth in some positions and quality depth. Let's all be patient with the team, as the right pieces are mostly in place with a few adjustments. I believe in this team.
