Original 21

400 yards in Brady's first game back. Imagine what would have happened to poor Cleveland if he wasn't rusty, and if Gronk was 100%. Tough next 3 games coming up with the tricky Bengals at home, a very good Pittsburg team away, and then Seattle coming to Foxboro. Need to win the home games, Pittsburg is gonna be extremely tough.

Didac and Lescott are out injured for this game, most likely Vargas and Simoes will also be out injured. Patito will be most likely miss this one due to suspension as well. It's going to be a very very hard game without two of our best players; I'd start: Anestis Galo Chygrinski Kolovetsios Diaz Galanopoulos Johanson Platellas Mantalos Lazaros Almeida Knowing Ketsbaia, I think he'll start with: Anestis Galo Chygrinski Kolovetsios Diaz Labropoulos Johanson Bakasetas Mantalos Lazaros Almeida

One big positive from this game: Tziolis didn't play. The negative is that he'll probably start the next game.

Exactly, Ketsbaia has the best AEK team since 2008. He should be able to do better than this.

And that's the Ethniki's biggest issue. Bakasetas, Mantalos, Fortounis, and Pelkas are all solid playing centrally behind Mitroglou, and are all horrible on the wings. The only winger we have is Gianniotas.

Fetfatzidis and Mantalos are polar opposites as players. Mantalos is a hard working dekari and his game is based on good, quick passing, vision, and pressing the other teams defense off of the ball. He also comes back on defense if needed to help, he goes back to get the ball if needed. Fetfatzidis is a slacker that goes missing in games and is absolutely useless unless you get the ball to him. He's a physically weak player and has no ambition at all. His game is based on tricks that work maybe 1/10 times...

Yeah, last year we played well for 60 minutes in Karaiskaki, we created a few chances, looked decent defensively and then we fell apart once Simoes came off because we lost the midfield. The difference is that Dellas had been in charge for over two seasons so firing him after that game wouldn't be as frown upon as firing Ketsbaia after 6 official games.

When a coach sends out his team into a huge away derby and does not give them any tactics or instructions obviously they are going to play afraid. It has nothing to do with them handling the pressure. All of our starters yesterday except Bakasetas have played in this derby before or have played in games with a ton of pressure in Brazil, or England, or Spain, or the Champions League, and even Italy...

It comes down to one thing: Ketsbaia has lost the locker room because of the lack of tactical work and planning he has done all season. Just look at our goals this year, all of them have come from inidivual brilliance of Almeida and Patito, or by mistakes from the other teams. Our players are literally lost out on the field and are calling him out for it. We played well in the first 3 games because we have good players, not because of the coach. We should be playing better with this group of players, we have a very strong starting 11 and decent depth in all but two positions. The way we played yesterday was way worse than we played in the 6-0 loss in 2010 or 2011, and a ton worse than we did in 2013 when we got relegated. Give Poyet or Dellas this group of players and the game yesterday would have been very different. Sure, Olympiakos did step up yesterday, but we allowed them to do so. We gave Fortounis tons of space and time to pick us apart, we handed them two goals, we didn't pressure them in the middle, we didn't test their backline. The game against AEL after the break is do or die for Ketsbaia, I would have personally fired him already because he is dangerous, but Bajavic has decided to give him another chance.

http://www.sdna.gr/podosfairo/superleague/article/249992/ola-anoixta-me-ketspagia SDNA reporting that Ketsbaia is likely finished.

Ketsbaia's days are numbered, apparently the players outed him to the fans about his "tactics" for this season which were simply to "play with passion and the results will come." Also, in his post match interview he says Simoes was too injured to play, if he was too injured to play why keep him on the bench and waste a spot on the bench!!!!!

BRAVO LABROPOULE! NOW HE SCORES AN OWN GOAL BASICALLY

BRAVO LABROPOULE TOUS EKANES KIALLO DWRO! KETBSAIA FUGE KAI PARE MAZI SOU TON LABROPOULO

Ketsbaia is taking out Patito for Pekhart... the only player that can turn the game around with one move... KETSBAIA FUGE

They lost the psychological battle when Ketsbaia's s%$#! tactics allowed Olympiakos to score the first goal and get the crowd into the game. It's all on him.

Because our coach benched our best midfielder to play a center back with no technical skills in the midfield. He also set up the team poorly tactical wise with time wasting from the first minute.

FIRE KETSBAIA AT HALF TIME

Ketsbaia's specialty

No pressing no nothing. Olympiakos lost all their games when they were being pressured when they're in possession, but our LOSER COACH decided to have our players sit back. If he doesn't make adjustments he can F*** off and leave

Bravo Ketsbaia. You set us up like a small time coach would and we are down 1-0 and haven't had any possession and have been time waisting since the first minute.

He started Labropulos. Na paei na g*****i o Ketsbaia.

Nobody knows or understands... An interesting thing is that Last year on match day 4 Dellas got sacked after he took out Simoes in Karaiskaki. This year, in our 4th game of the season, Ketsbaia is thinking of benching Simoes in Karaiskaki... If we loose heavily, and he benches Simoes, does the Greek mentality get him sacked this early in the season? I don't like him as a coach, but it would be way too early to sack him. The question is, have Melissanidis and Bajavic learned from last years coaching fiasco?

Today Ketsbaia tried the lineup I posted above with one huge exception. Labropoulos was in for Simoes. If he starts Labropoulos and benches Simoes I'm gonna personally fly over to Athens and fight him. It would be a suicidal move.

Olympiakos did nothing in the second half. They're gonna give it their all on Sunday, its do or die for them. Hopefully Ketsbaia has everyone ready and can put the nail in the coffin. Marin, Cambiasso, Cardozo, and Martins are the only ones that really scare me, the rest are nothing special, and who knows if Cardozo is even at 100% yet.

They're down 0-1 to APOEL at half time but they have been by far the better team, it's only a matter of time before they tie it up. 20 minutes into the second half and they've been playing like garbage. Only decent players are Cambiasso and Marin.
