    js and crew....

     

    without a general on the field we are lost....someone MUST rise to the occasion...karagouni with all his deficiencies at his current stage was still a LEADER - and the game went through him. and since midfield is the key in any offensive push, we now have a bunch of individuals who, though may have some ability, have never played together...this is a wholesale change...we have always asked for the young guys to get a chance, but now midfiled is gutted.

     

    who is gonna drive the team? who is going to step up and be the one that others latch onto? who is #10? who is gonna "make the game"?

     

    we HAD nobody at midfield that could play offensively, but at least there was a plan, and some cohesion....but now we have no cohesion, or leader to make the game....

     

    i very curious how this will all unfold...

     

    maybe we can lure Tsiartas out of retirement...

    Someone will have to step up, but who's to say there's nobody in the squad who can?

    fet is injured, ninis is without a club since he had his contract ripped up by parma despite having 3 years left on it. its gonna be a tough game in an empty stadium. i'd take a draw.

     

    here's the squad

    O Karnezis (Udinese) P Glykos(PAOK) S Kapino(Mainz)

    V Torosidis J Holebas K Manolas (All Roma) A Papadopoulos(Trabzonspor) K Papadopoulos(Bayer Leverkusen) L Vyntra(Levante) V Moras(Verona) G Tzavellas(PAOK) S Papastathopoulos(Borussia Dortmund)

    A Samaris(Benfica) P Tachtsidis L Christodoulopoulos (Both Verona) P Kone(Udinese) K Fortounis(Olympiakos) P Mantalos(AEK)

    D Salpingidis(PAOK) G Samaras(WBA) K Mitroglou D Diamantakos (Both Olympiakos) S Athanasiadis(PAOK)

     

    a bit gutted there's no Gekas but at the same time i'm excited to see what Diamantakos can do, i hope he starts, 3 goalkeepers are unnecessary and way too many defenders, Mantalos is a surprise, he's been playing well but thats in the second tier of the greek league and at 23 he should be playing at a higher level. Fortounis hasn't played for ages, we look a bit weak in midfield the rest of the squad looks decent.

    I hope you're being sarcastic about your displeasure at the lack of Gekas. The World Cup and the preceding friendlies proved he shouldn't be playing international football anymore. Karagounis acknowledged it, Gekas and Katsouranis should've done the same.
