It was a horrible game that lacked, structure and had no flow. It looked the team didn’t know what style they wanted to play. Bakasetas is a huge problem in that position but we need to keep it real he wasn’t the only problem. Guys were over passing the ball to wide open teammates, their was confusion on how they wanted to attack so majority of our possession came by us holding the ball from our own side of midfield with a lot back passes. The only player that played well is Vlach. Even our back end was exposed a few times and allowed the Montenegro players get behind them. Not sure it’s fair to judge this coach as every time we change a coach we take a few steps back until hes figures out who he wants to play and what style works for this team, so topping the nations league as bad as the teams are is not a guarantee due to the amount of time he will have with the players. Our back end I’m okay with but we need to figure our RB positions. Buchalakis and Siopis are not the answer for us in the midfield and Bakasetas should not be our number 10 he kills any attack. Up front should be given to Giakoumakis and the wings should be Masouras,Tzolis and Douvikas. Until we solve these problem it doesn’t matter what coach we bring in we will continue to have results like this.

This was one of the ugliest games we’ve played..

You’re right it’s not just Bakasetas they are all playing terrible.. But Bakasetas is not helping either. Why not sub him off as well.

This game should be 3-0 if it wasn’t for Vlach

Wow he kept Bakasetas in the game unbelievable..

We deserved to eat that goal there it was only a matter of time.. Has Poyet not seen enough? Why wouldn’t he make a change at this point..

Most of our possessions have been from our side of mid field and full of back passes. This is a bad overall performance to this point.

Man we look terrible..

very sloppy start.

starting lineup: Βλαχοδήμος, Λύρατζης, Χατζηδιάκος, Μαυροπάνος, Τσιμίκας, Μπουχαλάκης, Σιώπης, Πέλκας, Μπακασέτας, Παυλίδης, Δουβίκας.

Tell me you guys noticed the minute Bakasetas came on our offence went to s%$#!, no flow and sloppy passes.

Perfect cross by Rota!

Nice goal!!

Ridiculous…

Hahaha 5 minutes later they say no goal…WTF???

Goal!!

Ya I guess. .… We know what Mantalos brings to the team which is not much, I wanted to see Alexandropoulos start.. Any idea of the status of Fortounis?

Mantalos, Pelkas and Rota??? Why FFS??‍♂️

Regarding Manolas, Soivas Korubelis the plan was to call them up but they have a busy schedule so he left them sit out of the friendlies but plans to have them for the Nations League games in June.

Staf made no sense to me either. It would have been nice to see Manolas and Siovas even in the friendlies though so they can have a few games to build some chemistry with the team. I do like how Poyet said in the press conference he needs to have his core starters that start all the time and then they can sub out a few players here and there. From the list of players the midfield still looks to still be a very big problem for us but that's obviously not on Poyet but rather the lack of talent we have in that position.

This explains why Manolas and company were not called up. Εθνική Ελλάδος: Χωρίς Μανωλά, Σωκράτη οι πρώτες κλήσεις του Πογέτ, έκπληξη με Κουρφαλίδη (sport24.gr)

Looks Like Poyet wants Monals, Siovas and Socrates part of the team. whether he chooses to call them up for the friendly remains to be seen but he definitely wants them part of the nations League and Euro.. Εθνική Ελλάδος: Θετικό το κλίμα για Μανωλά, Παπασταθόπουλο και Σιόβα (sport24.gr)

Does anyone know when Poyet is going to announce his call ups?
