Original 21

Original is now entering the stadium after their protest of the new laws. Lasted 20 minutes lol

Night and day difference between this game and all the other games this year, we are playing very well so far.

Aravidis missed a one on one after a great pas by Mantalos.

Petalo is empty

It's raining, and our fans are pissed and many didn't go to the game, there's about 6k in the stands right now. Probably won't get over 10k.

3 for 3 in the regular season so far. Our American players have been pretty s%$#! so far but Mavrokefalidis is picking up the slack with some great play. Our play in the Eurocup has been really dissapointing.

Sunderland is a really really bad team every year and was saved from relegation one yer because of him. Sure his record with them was s%$#! but when you have an amatuer doikisi you're gonna struggle in the big leagues. I will be very happy if we brought him and gave him a decent budget to bring a few players of his choice.

Gustavo Poyet?

I agree with them, I've been bitching about Bajavic since May calling him a cancer to this team. F*** him. He hasn't been useful in this sport since 2008.

Lyberopoulos, Zikos, and Dellas all quit the team because they didn't want to deal with Bajavic, Dellas hinted at it today in his interview. F*** Bajavic.

Look at Manolo's record after leaving us... It's a joke... If they were gonna hire a guy like that they should have kept Dellas.... Like I said, Dellas or an experienced and talented European coach, no in between with s%$#! coaches like Tsiolis and Manolo... Guy couldn't even win in Qatar. Oh yeah I forgot about the 6-0 in Karaiskaki, 0-4 at home to Olympiakos volou (!!!!!) and the situation with Djebour. Melissanidis hand picked Striker, and his likely hand picked coach already hate each other. Recipe for success...

Dellas is gone, who do you guys think it's gonna be? I read a rumor about Manolo Jimenez... He wasn't bad with us but I'd rather bring in someone new.

Big game on Saturday at home against Iraklis at 19:30 Greek time. It's a must win game before we go to Leoforos. Iraklis is dangerous in attack so our defense needs to get back to the way they played in the first two games of the year. I expect some rotation after the poor showing against olympiakos and because we have a big away cup game against Xanthi on the 28th. I would start something like this: ----------------------------Baroja------------------------ Galo-------Kolovetsios--------Arzo----------Didac ---------------Simoes------------Johanson----------- Platellas-------------Mantalos---------Buononotte ------------------------Chrisantus----------------------- We need some rotation, Aravidis was exhausted at the end of the Olympiakos game and he had a poor game, I know Chrisantus is bad but Aravidis will need a rest since we have 3 games in 8 days, and two are big games in the Cup and the derby with Vazelos. Tzanetopoulos was just really bad against Olympiakos, I fear he might be burnt out, get Kolovetsios back in. Labropoulos did well, I'm sure he will start, but I want to see Arzo since melissanidis did say he was a "paixtara" yesterday in his meeting Original. I want Diego back in, Iraklis has a weak defense and he should be back in the starting 11 for this home game, he can make a big difference when he's on form. Didac is a great defender in my opinion so he won't need much help on defense. It's a must win game for this team, we can not afford to drop points in any home games this first round because all the derbies are away. We haven't played a complete game since the Platanias game, I'm hoping we end that streak.

There's a chance he will be in the apostoli in the Iraklis game on Saturday. It will be good to have him back, Galo has done extremely well so far but I think pushing Galo up on the wing in front of Bakakis will be good for us since Galo is much better in attack than Bakakis, and Bakakis is slightly better in defense than Galo. Having both of going up and down that wing will be huge for us. I hope he recovered just as well as Mantalos did.

He made promises about a protathlima in the first year... So yes I expect someone that's worth 3.4 billion euros to spend more than 160k on transfers. And yes, if he was a magka he would have a stadium under construction by now if he put down his own money, some communist mayor is making fun of him to his face about the stadium and tigrako can't do s%$#! about it. It's also a pretty commonly known fact that the whole idea about building a team to get relegated that year was orchestrated by Melisanidis so we can be relegated on the field, and drop another division after to clear the debt.

Yet you're still behind us in the standings...

We need like 3-5 quality players in January. We need 2 strikers, we need one that is tall, strong, fast, a good finisher, and that is not an ambalo. This costs money so tigrako needs to open the checkbook. Another striker we should look into is a good poacher for late games if we need to score, someone like Mantzios. I don't trust Djebour and Chrisantus, Aravidis has been struggling all year, we desperately need true strikers. We have all these somewhat decent build up plays that fizzle out because there isn't a striker for us that draws defenders to open up space, or there isn't a striker that gets in the box for headers. We need at least 1 true winger that is quality. Buononotte isn't a winger, Vargas isn't a winger, and Mantalos isn't a winger. Barbosa and Plattelas have their limitations. We need someone fast, a good dribble, good passer, and a good crosser. Ideally this winger would play on the left in front of Didac, as Galo will eventually push up to winger on the right when Bakakis gets back. Again, this costs money so the Gatouli needs to stop being a tzamba magka. Most importantly, we need 1, maybe 2, experienced and talented Centerbacks. Kolovetsios, Tzanetopoulos, and Labropoulos would all benefit so much if they had a leader next to them helping them. Most important thing about this signing would be that he is experienced, no more youth investments, you can see how much Tzanetopoulos struggled today. It would be good if he was fast also because Tzanetopoulos and Kolovetsios are both slow. These signings in January will improve us so much to make a second half push for third place. But they need to be the right signings, and they cost money, will the tzambatzi keep his word about building a "omada Gia protathlismo"? Or will he abandon the team that made him who he is today? Hopefully Milovanovic finds the right players for us because his track record on centerbacks (Arzo) and Strikers (Chrisantus) is pretty bad. He should be able to find some better players IF he had a little extra cash to work with.

This needs to be stressed over and over again, absolutely 1000000% agreed

I understand that but that clown did allow the 1st goal to stand, yeah we were cut up 4 times by wrongfully ruled offsides, but we also allowed 4 goals... If it ended 1-0, 2-0, even 3-0 id be right there with you, but a 4-0 karpazia can't be blamed all on the refs. Everyone at the club has to be held accountable for this starting up top with the Gataki who hasn't spent a dime, to Bajavic bringing in his friends like Bouroutzikas to the team and hurting our growth, to Dellas making mistakes with substitutions, to Milovanovic picking palta like Arzo and Chrisantus and paying them more money than Mantalos (Arzo gets 250k a year and hasn't been in the apostoli all year), to the players for making amateur mistakes, and to the training staff that hasn't been able to heal Rafik yet and all our players being gassed by the 60th minute. Yes the refs were bad, but we were exposed greatly today, hopefully we learn from this. We had an extremely hard schedule to start the year, after the game with PAO with a stretch of like 7 very winnable games.

Tzanetopoulos was the one that got exposed, Labropoulos was the much much better one of the two but still pretty poor. Melissanidis is the scapegoat for me because he left the team with major holes in attack and defense. But Dellas isn't blame free either. In the Xanthi, PAOK, and Veria games Dellas did not study the opponent well and we played terribly. In this game for 60 minutes he set us up so well to steal a point or three, but he threw it away with his substitutions. Yeah the refs were bad but it doesn't equate to a 4-0 ass kicking embarrassment. There's also a recurring theme here with Dellas messing up in away games. If we struggle next week at home against Iraklis, and we lose against PAO as easy as we did in the first two derbies, then Dellas' position should be reconsidered.
