  1. Baldock is a very good wingerback and for a team that is playing 3-6-1 like our NT Baldock will be decent. Just because Baldock is not in the level of Trent Alexander Arnold of Liverpool and Kyle Walker of Manchester City or Reece James of Chelsea which are the Right Backs that England is aiming at, it does not mean that he is as bad as Bakakis. That's a clowny mentality and thought. He is somewhere in the middle. I am pretty sure, according to JVS sayings that he is willing to call him up but bureaucracy did not make it in time to make Baldock eligible for the NT. I am sure he will be here, maybe not for the NL but for the WC qualifiers, as both teams have agreed that they are willing for this to go through. With Baldock on the Right and Tsimikas/ Giannoulis / Lykogiannis / Kyriakopoulos / Stafylidis on the Left we will always have a decent pair of Fullbacks. CBs is the problem and both Kossovo and Slovenia proved that with one or two decent chances, if the CB is not aware of his surroundings, they can score. This has always been the problem with the Greek NT since 2014. Lesser Nations winning with out of place and unneeded penalties or converting one and two chances in one and two goals. Van Schip has not changed that. The defence is a coffee shop, far worse than how it was under Skibbe. Van Schip has only changed our offensive plan and made us able to press and score past bad teams. When we play a better team (and when I mean better I dont mean England or Belgium, realistically speaking its gonna be a derby and a huge improvement beating teams like Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic, Ukraine) these 1 and 2 chances that seem convertable will be 5 and 6. That's when the defenders come to join the game, and that's when Svarnas, Hatzidiakos, Michailidis, Lambropoulos will not be enough. For everyone who has played football, knowing that having some very good defenders on your back is a huge relief for a midfielder who can focus on his attacking duties and box-to-box transition without worrying that if X player passes him over, the defence will be in trouble. Having Sokratis on the bench and Manolas at the starting line-up will be a boost for all of the players and that's exactly what Siovas said. I do not agree with Siovas action, but he f*cking stated the obvious. And I will once again repeat my previous statement. When the results stop being good, pro-JVS fans will start being against him as well.

  2. Randjelovic is going to have a bright career. Great game by him today, nice finish from El Arabi. Olympiakos should get a result in Cyprus and on to the CL.

  3. Olympiakos is my team too. Omonoia played good defense, weirdly, Lecjaks landing on the ball with his hand opened the door. Nice goal by El Arabi at the end too. Omonoia has never even qualified for Europa, so this is still a big year for us.

  7. We can do it. This isn't the first time we have lost the first leg. Perhaps Zimbru and NK Lokomotiva are not the same calibre as Krasnodar but we still managed to pick ourselves up and win at home.

  8. Holebas decided to retire from NT during Scibbe era, and was invited back by Anastasiadis, but stayed away. Not the same. By the way, I'm a fan of van't Schipp, and I like what he is trying to do. Siovas was our best player in the 2 games just played. I can understand leaving out Soc, Manolas when you have at least Siovas. But, with Siovas demise, Hatzidiakos is not ready from a serious injury, Stafylidis inj., I think that at least one of Soc, Manolas will need to come back for the rest of Nation League as to go with inexperienced CBs is too risky. IMO. We have to top the Group in Nation League as anything less will be considered failure.

  9. Έμαθα ότι η μεταγραφή του Φετφατζίδη* στο Κατάρ είναι σχεδόν τελειωμένη. Για μένα ιδανικό το timing να πουληθεί, ώστε και ρευστό να εισρεύσει και να διευκολυνθεί η αγορά κάποιου-ων ποιοτικού-ών μπακ. * Εδώ και 6 μήνες ο Φετφατζίδης δεν προσφέρει κάτι ιδιαίτερο στην ομάδα. Πολλές ατομικές προσπάθειες, λάθη, κακά τελειώματα, έλλειψη τρεξιμάτων. Ίσως να θέλει και αυτός να φύγει, έτσι μου φαίνεται εμένα.

  10. I have another topic in the Omonoia section for continuity sake, but I'll mostly be here. This is a tough one for me as a fan of both teams. Unbiased, Omonoia will be harder than Olympiakos would think. Cypriot teams tend to do well against Greek teams.

  11. History shows we will not progress! Super upset about how we lost today. We actually should of won! Lets see if these players have what it takes to overturn this result unlike squads of the past!

  12. Ελα ρε Μήτσο αστεία επιχειρήματα τώρα... Τι είμαστε; Παιδιά του δημοτικού; Aντε λοιπόν να μη σου πω 50 χρόνια. Να σου πω 30 παιχνίδια. Σου είναι πιο κατανοητό τώρα; No he was not approachable και ο Ροζ έβγαλε χολή ΠΑΡΟΤΙ βασικός και αναντικατάστατος. Και ο Ιντέγε πέρσι τον δούλευε και έλεγε "Χαχαχαχ πάλι οι ίδιοι, δεν θα κάνει αλλαγές, έβαλα στοίχημα" Eπίσης το little guy ηταν συνεχής πηγή κινδύνων χθες. Το είδες. Δε σου λέω να παίξει 11άδα. Αλλά τι τον ξεφτιλίζεις βάζοντάς τον στο 89 κάθε φορά; Γιατί τον καταστρέφεις έτσι; To Ντιγκινί τον κατέστρεψες κι αυτόν.... Το disciplined παιχνίδι πού το είδες; Eχασες γελοιωδώς την πρόκριση από την ΑΕΚ. Aν είχες discipline εκείνο το ματς θα το έπαιρνες φίλε. Ο Μπα έφτασε να παίξει αριστερό εξτρέμ! Ο Σάσα έπαιξε παντού γιατί δεν ήθελε να βάλει το Σούντγκρεν Ο Σάκιτς που παίζει τελικά; O Mαντσίνι που στο διάολο παίζει; Δεν έχω ιδέα Τι είδες ρε φίλε σ'αυτή την ομάδα που σου άρεσε τόσο; Ολα τα περιμένεις από ατομικές ενέργειες παιχτών. Αλλά αυτό δε λέγεται ομάδα, φίλε. Kαι αν θέλεις facts τα μόνα facts είναι αυτά που λέει ο Emperor. Κατάλαβέ το Μητσάρα. Βγήκαμε 6οι κατά τύχη γιατί όλοι κάποια στιγμή σταμάτησαν να παίρνουν βαθμούς. Η συγκομιδή μας ήταν ΤΡΑΓΙΚΗ. ΥΓ - Τίτλους θα πάρουμε όταν πέσει χρήμα, φίλε. Και Ο ΠΑΟΚ και η ΑΕΚ και ο Ολυμπιακός και ο ΠΑΟ έχουν καλύτερα ρόστερ.

  13. Έφυγε ο γερμανός, φεύγει κι ο Χαριστέας που τον έφερε και δεν ξέρουμε αν θα παραμείνει στις επάλξεις της ομάδας και ο Τερζής. Εμένα δεν μου αρέσουν τα "φύγε εσύ, έλα εσύ" στην ομάδα, γιατί δείχνουν ανταγωνισμό κι όχι συνέχεια της σκυτάλης που παραλαμβάνει ο εκάστοτε επόμενος. Γιατί δείχνουν μισές δουλειές, οι οποίες πιθανότατα θα μείνουν κι αυτές μισοτελειωμένες. Δεν ξέρω αν αποβάλλαμε εντελώς εκείνη τη στραβή λογική του Κόντη που απαξίωνε για καιρό όσα "λαυράκια" μας κουβαλούσε από τα αζήτητα της Λατινικής Αμερικής. Με αποτέλεσμα να χρυσοπληρώνουμε τον παίκτη -και την προμήθεια του Κόντη- και να παρακαλούμε να μας αγοράσουν τον παίκτη μπας και βγάλουμε κι εμείς κάτι. Επόμενο ήταν να φαληρήσει η ομάδα, να θησαυρίσει ο Κόντης και να μας μείνουν αμανάτι κάτι Κουλοχέρηδες, κάτι Σιστόν, κάτι Γκρασιάν κλπ. Μας αρέσει ή όχι ο Σούντγκρεν και ο Ντουάρτε αποτελούν περιουσιακά στοιχεία του Άρη. Και μάλιστα ακριβά. Ο ένας κάτι δήλωσε που δεν έπρεπε κι ο άλλος δεν μας κέρδισε στο χορτάρι. -και πώς να το κάνει αλήθεια, αφού για άλλο στυλ παιχνιδιού τον πήραμε-. Το αποτέλεσμα ήταν να μπουν και οι δυο τους στο ψυγείο. Τώρα όμως η αλλαγή προπονητή τους δίνει ίσως μια καλή ευκαιρία. Να διεκδικήσουν μια θέση και να αποδείξουν πως αξίζουν το ψωμί που τρώνε στην ομάδα. Αν συμβεί αυτό, τότε εμπλουτίζεται το ρόστερ και μεγαλώνει ο ανταγωνισμός για την 11άδα. Και την 15άδα θα έλεγα εγώ, αν προστεθούν σε αυτήν και οι 4 αλλαγές που ισχύουν φέτον. Καθώς, το να έρχονται έτοιμοι οι δευτεροκλασσάτοι των αλλαγών δίνει σταθερότητα στην απόδοση της ομάδας. Άλλωστε αυτοί οι 2οι ρόλοι έδωσαν πολλούς βαθμούς στην ομάδα και θα το κάνουν και στο μέλλον.

  14. Dumping of Siovas is probably justified, for reasons given, and the coach can invite whoever he wants. Coach has in the past, said he has not discounted Soc, Manolas inclusion. But, why not come out at the start of NL and say the door is STILL open for Soc, Manolas but he is not going to use them for these matches. If he's never going to select them again, then at least let the players and media know, and his reasons for their exclusion. Like them or not, these players have given great service to the NT and deserve a bit better treatment, IMO.

  15. By the next WC Sokratis will be 34. Siovas 34. Manolas 31. If you're going to put all your eggs in that basket good luck. Wouldn't it be better now to find a new bunch of players and give them game time. Let them learn the system and discipline to be ready. If it happens the oldies have still got it, and their attitude is good, fine, recall them. But to rely on them being fit, ready, uninjured, and more importantly without the attitude, good luck with that. Comparing Mantalos to Masouras, not sure where you're going with it. Totally different players, totally different roles. Mantalos is one of the smarter footballers in the squad. He "gets" the game. That's why he's selected. I've never heard of AEK fans that don't rate him.

  16. Hello from Athens everyone. I think the results of the last 2 games have been παραπλανητικά. The team played like s%$#! in both games. Noone will judge JVS now simply because the results have been good, but, what will happen when we have a setback in this group or the WC one. Right now with Siovas , Manolas, Sokratis gone we have no experienced CB 25+ worth calling. He is calling Lambropoulos 4 fuq sake who is playing in Bundesliga 2. Our next big things as CBs are nowhere to be found the last 1 year. Mavropanos? No playtime in Stuttgart, not even on the bench first matchday. Dimitris Nikolaou? Anyone remember him playing for the NT under Skibbe? Benching in Serie B. Retsos ? Injury prone. Hasnt had regular football time since of 2018. Hatzidiakos? Benching. Has had one half of a game in Holland. Wasnt even on the bench vs Dynamo Kyiv for the C.L. Qualifiers. Even Stafylidis the recently promoted to "shortest CB the Greece NT even fielded" is injured. We re gonna field a defence of Svarnas - Michailidis - Kourbelis/Lykogiannis mark my words (Lykogiannis has had a couple of games as a LCB in Cagliari in 3-5-2 that's why im mentioning him.) If it's Barkas on the goalposts im gonna bet a 5 euro on both teams scoring when we play Moldova. And don't get me wrong. It's not like I don't rate Michailidis Lykogiannis or Svarnas. It's just that they re not ready to start for the NT and they have no idea of each other at all. On the positives now, one thing I like about Skibbe is his offensive mentality. All 4 of our players in offence are pressing non-stop which is what you need against such low teams who are willing to waste time if the game is 0-0. Remember that most of our games with bad teams like Armenia a year ago and 1-1 Liechtenstein or Finland/Estonia defeats, we re hunting for a goal and they seem okay with the draw or whatever and suddently they score out of nowhere and with the mentality low we re trying to get a goal or two back. The way Limnios Bakasetas Mantalos and Koulouris or Pavlidis are nonstop running not allowing the defenders of these very bad teams to keep ball and forcing their goalie to make a big ball in instead of short passing is the reason we re getting the good results. The defenders have nothing to do with it. As I said at the start of my post, when the bad results suddently start happening (its not gonna be so sudden) judgement of the coach will also begin from all these people who "Eγω ειμαι μαζι με τον προπονητη 100% γιατι εχει @@ και πανω απο ολα η ομάδα" will be against him too. And what happens in the middle of the WC Qualifiers if this happens? We just have to wait 2 more years for the next qualifiers. Also, with all the respect to Mantalos. We re talking about a 30 year old 8-10 who was ready to make his final paycheck move to Saudi Arabia or Emirates or somewhere nearby. I am an Olympiakos and one thing I know is that Masouras work-rate and work-ethic is on point. What these things mean is pretty much that if the coach wants him to track down and press the opposite defence, that's what he will do. The only reason Mantalos is starting is because of these things. But apart from that, Masouras also is faster, becomes an extra man in the box, has a decent header too and can shoot better than Mantalos. From all Schip's crimes in the line-up, this is the one that hurts me the most. Even Aek fans don't rate Mantalos.

  17. Well he succeeded on both counts! I will go with Occam's razor - I think he was on a high after the game (good win and scored a great goal) and just said what was on his mind - his filter was in sleep mode. Either way, when you start saying things like the coach should select this player, I play better with that player, and it happens you're talking about your koumbaro who by all accounts has a difficult personality, um, there's the exit door. I'm sure he regrets what he said, but Greeks being Greeks he'd probably puff out his chest and say he meant it.

  18. He was was efficient because he got the most out of mediocre talent. Martinez is a nice little player but he clearly did not value him much nor did the two previous coaches for that matter, he didn't offer much when he was subbed in. I don't know what happened with the Swede but I'm guessing it wasn't his decision alone as they came to the conclusion too much was spent on the guy plus he wanted to get paid on time and raised a stink about it.. We lost to the Ukrainians and it was unfortunate but our arrogance is more embarrassing than the loss. We pretend as if we are some established European powerhouse but at the end we are a 500 squad in the Greek Super league, fact not fantasy land. And for the love of God please stop the 50 year unbeaten streak nonsense because that is the most ridiculous thing Aris fans say and we say plenty of those as a fanbase. He was not approachable? I don't know what that means but my understanding of their culture and the word that comes to mind when I think of Germans is discipline which doesn't exist in our dictionary. We were a disciplined and efficient team under his guidance and I for one appreciated it. Players that make negative remarks about coaches after they are gone are the type you don't want on your squad because they are nothing but excuse makers, having said that the only one I read about was Rose and I took it more of him showing support to Terzis than dogging Oenning. Regardless of your feelings towards the German, the pattern continues and will never change with coaches which means Aris fans will have to live in the past with our 1930's championship, our 1970 cup, the victories aganist Perougia, Benfica, Atletico Madrid and that remarkable 50 year unbeaten streak. By the way, Kastoria now holds the Greek streak since they did not lose at home in the cup winners cup back in 1980, so that makes it 40 correct?

  19. Regardless of what people think Giannoulis is worth or what they'd be satisfied with a sale amount, I'd prefer we don't sell him at all. I just don't think he's easily replaceable. Also, the level of his improvement in the last 24 months, and especially in the last 12 months has been simply astonishing. Knowing our club though, we'll probably sell him for peanuts, and do it before the Krasnodar game. Who knows it could go similar to the Limnios sale, extract below. FC Koln: Limnios good player. We buy. PAOK: Very well. 7 million. FC Koln: 3 million. PAOK: You crazy. The guy is only 22 and has matured so much in the last year. He is the FIRST guy on the team sheet for the National Team. FC Koln: 3 million. PAOK: OK. 6 million. FC Koln: 3 million. PAOK: OK. 5 million, but that's my last offer. FC Koln: 3 million and we'll throw in a poster of Wilhem II. PAOK: Deal, but can we do it after the Benfica game. Our regular RB is having interpersonal problems with the manager and our backup RB is injured. We have a up-coming young kid but the manager doesn't rate him. FC Koln: No. We want him now. PAOK: OK. Would you like me to drop my pants now or later. FC Koln: First I give you poster of Otto von Bismarck, then drop pants. PAOK: Thank you, thank you. FC Koln: If Limnios is so important to you, why did you not renew/extend his contract. PAOK: Who ? (hands Limnios his luggage and shoves him out the door).
