  1. Ht 0-0

    We got better the last 10-15 but still nothing special.

    Need something different the 2nd half.

    Personally I'd like to see Platellas thrown on, we are too narrow with 4 CMS.

    I would like Platellas in there too. However if we give up the center it's over.

  2. We need 4 in the back. 3 will not cut it.

    I would start djibbour. He is an @sshole but I think he has something to prove against oly.

    Only hope I have for this game is that, other than a derby, oly doesn't care about this game. We need the points and maybe that motivation gives us the edge to go after the ball and pressure them. Maybe we squeak out a 1-0 or 2-1. But my feeling is that we pull out a draw.

  3. I think you guys are missing a key point here.

    The possibility of winning the league is nil at this point, unless we pay the Gavrous' bus driver to go off a cliff with the entire team on board. Then we still wouldn't have enough money to pay off the referees to make things go our way for a change.

    We have to ensure we see European football before we start to get more attractive to players on the market, that's just the reality of the sport/business. And I'm sorry, but I never was convinced of Sa, and hearing about his disposition, we already have a resident c*** on board with Djebbour, so we really don't need another prima donna. First we need to offload the deadwood.

    The other thing is, the January window is often the worst time to get players--players who have been traded mid-season often seem to have confidence issues because their teams offloaded them as good-for-nothings. Let's be damned sure we can get into the CL qualification spot, and then we can get players.

    Thank you for this post. Totally agree. It also takes removal from all of the emotion to see the long term goals.

  4. What's the difference? Tempo? Passing? Just trying to imagine the difference with the same players. Listening to it on the radio but he is not talking performance. Just play by play.

  5. Important figures like Aki Ziko leaving and Manola coming back, for instance, are unnecessary things that hold the team

    I felt the same way about Ziko when he first started the academies. What experience did he have with academies? Not much at all, but they gave him the job. As time went on it seemed he was really working hard and doing a fine job. And when I found out he was leaving I was upset. Then a read a little more and talked with some people in Greece. Now, I'm not that upset and kind of agree with it. Problem is, I think Georgeas will take it over. And what experience does he have?

  6. Ok. So you would rather have a non proven person of authority that does not care for the team or it's well being... Only there for a pay check?

    Most presidents are ego maniacs that have all the money, with little experience with football and make horrible decisions just to get the BAM from the fans. For example, Savvidis son. What is he doing?

    On real teams, you have positions of power where you are responsible. Look at the real established teams. They have presidents that have the final say. Ofcourse Dusan has the final say over Milo. I wouldn't want it any other way. No position underneath the president should be autonomous. If so, then why even start a viable company/team? Just do it the old Greek way and be bankrupt again in a few years. You need one person that sees and drives the overall vision for the team as a whole. Now, if you don't agree with Dusan's (and Meli's) vision for the team that's somethjng different. But you need a head that looks long term. Not just week to week.

    I think the biggest problem here is that, as fans, we get caught up in the day to day. Yeah we lost to PAOK, but does that mean Dellas sucks or Dusan is telling him what to do or that Dusan sucks or anything else? Maybe, but I don't think so. We all want the title this year, but I think that the people in power, Meli, Dusan, Dellas, Milo all know something more realistic. We may not be happy about the outcome but it is the reality of having a successful team.

  7. Playing without wings will kill us as shown in the PAOK game. In the end, there really is no way to play all of our 3 "deKari" players on the field at the same time without opening up gaping holes in our formation.

    I also thing our back line is quickly showing their inexperience and bad positioning. While I am not watching daily practices, I think didac and arzo should get some time to prove themselves. One thing they do have going is experience.

  8. Are you saying Bajevic is too old now ? For my money, he's the best manager in Greece in the last 3 decades.

    He is also the president of football operations. You want a coach with no experience in the SL, and not much experience at all, making all the decisions? These are the ways AEK have failed in the past... Allowing too much autonomy to people without experience in a football background.

  9. Samaras plays better as a wide attacking forward. He is not the striker we are looking for.

    Besides, he did not attend a preseason, his time in Saudi was mixed because of injury and I'm not sure how hard he is staying in shape right now.
