Let’s hope we get a great lineup for these 2 games... I’d love to see mitroglou, donis, fortounis and lazaros all starting. I think those 4 could actually cause some issues for opposing teams. would also be great to see zeca and maybe kourbelis start at CM. I doubt we see this and he will probably have tziolis in there to slow everything down to a crawl.
-
Looks like torosidis might be starting at CM as some ppl have hoped. Hasn’t played there in yrs.
-
Let’s not insult Katsuranis by comparing him to tziolis late in their careers. Kats played for benfica and was a difference maker. Also played for big Greek clubs.. tziolis isn’t wanted by any Greek clubs
-
Zeca is 100 times better than tziolis and so is Samaris. Also, kone was used as a Cm for AEK at times last yr. Tziolis is at least 8-9th down the list when it comes to options at cm

A lot of fans have hoped for a back 3, but skibbe refuses. It’s not gonna happen even though based on our talent at the position we should... skibbe has rarely veered from 4-2-3-1... and considering that he is unwilling to change, this would be the formation we should fit players into..... .....................karnezis bakakis.manolas.Sok.stafylidis ...........zeca............samaris fetfa............mantalos.......donis ................mitroglou I would love mantalos to start playing as a #8 for AEK. Then he could slip into samaris’s spot and that would allow mantalos and pelkas/fortounis to be on the field. the playmaker role should be chosen based on form, and the leading candidates would be mantalos, fortounis, and pelkas..I also have very little faith in stafylidis, since he’s been unable to keep a regular spot. I think having donis and fetfatsidis on the field at the same time could cause some real issues for opposing teams

Watching games from this World Cup just shows that some players should never be called up anymore. A majority of teams have athletic midfields with fast aggressive wingers. Players like tachtsidis and tziolis who r slow and lumbering should never be called upon. Players like mantalos, pelkas, fetfatzidis, donis, lazaros should be main fixtures. We need a CM to claim a spot. Samaris or Zechariah are fine but they need someone with energy, pace and skill beside one of them. It would be perfect if mantalos was played as more of a #8 for AEK. Really need someone to step up and take the #8 role

How do we not have any games set up before the World Cup... what a F***in joke

Nikos Karelis ‒ (now playing for Panaitolikos)
nick replied to plato-ny's topic in Greek Players Abroad
What injury did he get recently that is serious? -
I don’t rate fortounis at all.. I would rather see karelis up with mitroglou. Fortounis isn’t skilled enough to float around the field. We really need Samaris to move on and nail down a starting role. That would allow Samaris and Zeca to be the starting cm. We could even have karelis as the LW and move donis to the #10 role.
-
Greeece will never do this but they need to limit the number of foreign players that play in Greece. Clubs should hire Greek coaches who want to develop Greek players.
-
Skibbe has to go. Tziolis and tzavellas are not even close to the quality needed and both r fu kin lazy. We just don’t have any midfield players who want the ball and can distribute. NONE! Fortounis’s spot behind mitroglou has to be taken away . He doesn’t run and doesn’t have the skill to be able to play lazy. Greece is at a huge crossroads...team has very few REAL players coming up. Donis,retsos look great. But we lack wide defenders and central midfielders badly. We miss a karagounis type player to go get the ball and distribute. These lazy F***s show zero passion for their country’s minus a couple players. Things don’t look good
-
Donis is an x-factor. Offers something we don’t have. Speed, willingness to take on defenders and has a great shot. If he plays my confidence goes up dramatically.. would also be nice for karelis to get in some real games in the coming weeks. Have a feeling manolas and donis will push to play, but my guess is their club teams will push against that
-
Is Karelis close to a return? Other striker options wouldn’t even start for Canada
-
Wouldn’t N Ireland be seeded... ranked higher than Sweden or Denmark
-
Will skibbe call up other players for suspended players... I’d love to see fetfatsidis
