jarv....the team quit on the coach....simple. no yellow cards until 88 minute. we always get two at least in the first half ... they quit. it was obvious form the beginning, the body language, the players interviews...etc....

look he lost the team...........they quit......there is no other explanation....

im glad to risk not qualifying if a. a new crop of young guys get thrown into the qualification in order to test the new group against good competition, to build cohesion continuity etc. and B. (this is a big one) The coach has a clue. This guy, from what I see and compare with other coaches we have had, seems clueless.........and worse when a Greek tsoglani professinal soccer player turns on you, you can forget it ....... now - his resume speaks for itself and he obviously has been exposed to muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch more soccer in one year than i have in my lifetime, but, that does not mean a guy like me or anyone lese on this board does not see and observe valid points about the team and his approach. the bottom line is wins and loses.....(and ties) lol....... and we lost to NORTHERN FREAKIN' IRELAND.......not even the entire island, just the FREAKIN' NORTHERN PART !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it just shows there is a fine line between good teams and bad ones....we reached quaters of world cup and several months later we are holding our breadth for the FREAKIN" FAROE ISLANDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

said it day one...the moment germany etc are having two friendlies as tune ups, and this clown schdules ZERO friendlies when he knows he is going to gut the team was all i needed to see to conclude we were in for nasty weather.... but it makes the previous two coaches look pretty damn good - especially when everyone on this board was bellyaching for "new blood" and "bring in the young guys" "why the gerousia" etc.........well dont wish for something too much because you may get it.... as JS says - continuity, cohesion, key to success....sum of the parts is greater than the whole.. DO U GUYS REALIZE WE ARE ACTUALLY SOMEWHAT CONCERNED ABOUT THE FAROE ISLANDS !!!!!!!! AND...... THAT WE L O S T --- L O S T ----- TO NORTHERN FREAKIN IRELAND ????????????????????????????????????????

guess we don't need a friendly ------ new players, new coach, etc.....yeah i guess we don't need one, of course not.

no gekas/fetfa/tsiolis/ etc.....diamantakos/athanasiadis in......... same story...if we dont push up in midfield and play with an attacking metality, we will continue to struggle for goals. new coach biggest challenge is to a. create a strong midfield; b. instill confidence that the team can play going forward. bottom line: pele cant score if he has no support. period. call up all the strikers you want, if your midfield is not pushing forward to support the strikers then the offense will continue to be anemic.

fet should be at the center of the attack as an attacking midfielder...he is that good....just look at the formation argentina uses and go from there should play a 3-5-2 that can easily morph as needed... with ball control and attack building as the optimal goal ----not hail mary, low percentage crosses into the box.... we can defend instinctually falling into 4--3-3 or more defensive if needed... belgium looked great, fantastic build up and looked very potent and dangerous.
