Dear ethniki, please don't blow this. Amen

Possible starting line-up Barkas* Rota Hatzidiakos Stafylidis Giannoulis Kourbelis Zeca Limnios Bakasetas Pelkas* Pavlidis* *Or Vlacho, Fountas, Fortounis But, seriously we should be able to field a B side vs Moldova and get the desired result.

Finally got around to watching the replay of Mavro's first start for Stuttgart. Very promising performance! Before a groin strain (can we get this guy a new groin already?!) had him off at ~70', he showed a lot of talent on the right side of the back-3. Two near headers on goal, great footwork on a saving tackle, and showed a combined aggression/strength/speed that reminded me a bit of Manolas. His teammates played the ball back to him often to make plays (including some accurate lofts up the field that created openings for chances). Seemed comfortable playing the ball up past mid-field a couple of times. Hopefully he can get healthy, because his talent today should earn him a lot more caps. Great 1-1 result against a talented Bayer04 squad.

They might call Giorgios Baldock to be tried as a RB, or not enough time? Could always stick with underwhelming Lampro.

Surely, Rota has to make his debut vs Moldova, when the first selection is out injured. Otherwise, why invite him. Currently plays at Fortuna Sittard. Recent highlights vs VVV-Venlo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1HIGRjVJo0
