Can someone post the outcomes that we are hoping for again -

Tziolis and mantalos have been awful. Stafylidis bot much better... Cyprus carried possession after tziolis goal -

What are the results we are hoping for in the other groups -
The way fortounis has been playing i would play donis in behind mitroglou and keep stafylidis on the left. We can't afford to have slow lazy players on the field. Tziolis should never wear the shirt again. Maniatis gets ragged on but all he does he bust his ass for the team. I thought he played good. Zeca played good as well but I prefer him in the middle. Our weak spot is right wing. Gianniotas isn't good enough, mantalos isn't fast enough for a wing spot, and bakasetas is garbage. Not sure who else could fill that spot. I'd like to see fetfatzidis called him and given a shot

I'm a fan of 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 but I think skibbe is stuck on 4-2-3-1..with this setup I think the only spot that should be up for grabs is RW.. ....................karnezis toro......manola..sokratis..stafylidis ..............Samaris...zeca ??...............fortounis.......donis ...............,.mitroglou Manthatis interests me a bit but he's not ready for this yet. Probably Gianniotas. It really is too bad that fetfatzidis decided to throw his career away because he could be great there

Going forward with the additions of zeca and donis looking like they could be real contributors is huge. Stafylidis has turned into a legit quality LW and LB. his defending skills have really improved, and going forward he can run, cross and shoot. our back line and goalie look to be our strength with 3 beasts at CB with retsos coming along as well. mitroglou played his ass off. Maybe his hardest working game on NT. Donis came on and gave us A threat out wide which we haven't had. Mantalos doesn't have the quality to play and start for the NT and bakasetas is worse. zeca stole the show for me. His work rate was the best I've seen from a Greek midfielder in years. He closed down the opposition any chance he got. Now if we could find another winger things would really look fantastic

There is no reason to have stafylidis play cm with tzavellas being out. He played really well minus 1 slip which could happen to anyone. ..............karnezis toro..manolas..sokratis..stafylidis... .......maniatis...zeca mantalos..fortounis..giannotas .........mitroglou i think this would be a no brainer to use. -

Fantastic game by almost all of the players. Our left side defensively was excellent with tzavellas and stafylidis. Tachtsidis should have been taken out at half time. He was clumsy in the first half and lazy with his passes. mitro continues his form with that fantastic finish. In a huge game like this I thought kapino did fantastic. Big losses for Bosnia game though with suspensions -

Tachtsidis has been awful. Clumsy and careless with the ball..everyone is battling pretty good. -

Any rumoured lineups?? -
I love the optimism but I just don't see it.. we are slow through the middle of the park, don't have any true wingers that should be starting, and we have 1 decent striker in mitroglou. None of our midfielders are ball retrievers, they just sit back and none of them have created any chemistry. Fortounis is great and mitroglou is fine. But who are our wingers? Who will be played beside samaris? Will tzavellas be picked over stafylidis? And we plays rb if/when toro is injured?the depth is atrocious and a lot of it has to do with how the super league is run.. there should be a limit on non-Greeks per team. The fact the klonaridis was the first Greek to score for PAO days ago is ridiculous.

So the recent results playing horrid teams and squeezing out points has sold u that we have turned a corner.... we r tzavellas wonder striker from almost being out of qualifying. We have stunk in almost every game. Literally not even 1 really good performance.. We have tried multiple lineups over the last 3 years it never a formation based on 3 CB.. in the quarter finals of euro 2016, 3 teams played that round with 3CB.. 3/8 teams wouldn't be considered rare -

nick replied to Euro2004's topic in Greek Players Abroad
When was the last time Greece tried 3 cb.....years....stafylidis is very offensive and could thrive as a wing back. Also holebas would have been dynamite there as well. It's something to experiment with unless u think greece's NT performances have been so stellar that no changes to formation r needed. Not to mention kpaps ability on set pieces is probably unmatched to any other Greek. This might be the worst group of NT players in the last 15 years. So it would seem logical to at least try to have all of your best players on the field at the same time -

nick replied to Euro2004's topic in Greek Players Abroad
Just scored the winning goal vs Leverkusen.. he was the best player on the field by far. Games like that show the ability that this guy has.. and there is no reason as to why he, manolas and sokratis should not all be on the field.. they are arguably our top 3 players. U find a way to make that work. We don't have the depth on the NT to leave one of our top players on the bench -
