Honestly I just can’t believe in all of Greece we can’t find one natural striker that can score goals on a consistent basis. Also we have reached our ceiling as a team as long as we have a week midfield with Zeca and Kourbelis/Bouchalakis, they are just not good enough and we can only go so far as a good midfield will take you.. This is a real problem for us and I don’t know who's the answer.. We all know Fortounis should be an automatic starter every game and NOT on the wing you need to put him in the middle but JVS is reluctant to play the guy to his strengths.. I almost garuntee if JVS starts two natural wingers like Tzolis or Masouras alongside Liminios then he will sit Fortounis and play Bakasetas in the middle he won’t sit him at all.. He’s living and dying with this guy for some reason and makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.. But until we address our striker and midfield problems I don’t think we can compete with higher tear teams and this is proof once again that we couldn’t top an easy group even though we played well and didn’t lose we are just not good enough to advance past this right now..

Who does everyone want in our group? Pot 1: Belgium, France, England, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands Pot 2: Switzerland, Wales, Poland, Sweden, Austria, Ukraine, Serbia, Turkey, Slovakia, Romania Pot 3: Russia, Hungary, Republic of Ireland, Czech Republic, Norway, Northern Ireland, Iceland, Scotland, Greece, Finland Pot 4: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Israel, Belarus, Georgia, Luxembourg Pot 5: Armenia, Cyprus, Faroe Islands, Azerbaijan, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Lithuania, Latvia, Andorra Pot 6: Malta, Moldova, Liechtenstein, Gibraltar, San Marino

Geez we lost out to Hungary in our last Nations league campaign for 2nd and look what they’ve done, They’ve made the Euros via Nations league playoff and now won there Nations league Group B and we couldn’t top group C with Slovenia, Kosovo and Moldova.. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Hungary Serbia Turkey Russia

Where can we find the list of teams that are in each pot? Are you guys just going by fifa Rankings?

I’m very gutted once again that we didn’t win our group but I understand we are a rebuilding a team and we have shown lots of progress, The teams has a different mindset and they are starting gel and okay the the style JVS wants them to play. I also agree there has been games this campaign we didn’t look good but I think that will come with experience and maturing as a team. The team looks like it’s headed in the right direction and as the English announcer said “This team has looked to turn the corner with JVS In such a quick time. think like anything it will take some time but changing coaches every year will put us back to square one I think. I’m hoping now between the end of the European campaign and this campaign JVS has now seen who he should and shouldn’t be playing.. Let’s see how it plays out in the World Cup qualifiers and let’s hope for a favourable draw on December 7th..

I agree If you are going to bother brining up Tzavellas then that defeats JVS argument that he wants to rebuild with young players and get rid of the old kills, I would rather see Manolas and Siovas on the team rather then Tzavellas.. He is contradicting himself when he does that.. I think against top quality teams they will be needed especially against teams where we barely have the ball past midfield..

I might be alone on here thinking this but I’d like to see JVS take this team to World Cup qualifiers.. I think he deserves a chance. Changing coaches should not be an option right now IMO...

100% I’ve screaming about that from day one..

At the end of the day it’s not the coaches fault if in all of Greece there’s not one proven striker, that’s not the coaches fault as this has been our problem for years. We were fortunate to have Mitro A while ago but other then that we have no one.. The coach has the team playing with high energy and looking like a team but once again we don’t have anyone to put the ball in the net and there’s not one coach that can change that.

It’s hard to rate if Slovenia’s defence is that good, I mean who did they beat? Moldova and Kosovo and we already know we have a hard time scoring against the weakest of teams.. They do have a world class goalie but if it was any other team that can score I think they beat them by a couple of goals tonight..

Even if we would have scored against Kosovo and beat them we still would lose the division as we would be behind on goal differential..

Sadly unless we have a consistent scorer this will always be the outcome for them..

I think you miss understood me, I said you can’t blame him for tonight’s lose he made the right moves..

You can’t blame JVS on this one started the players he should have and made the right subs to force the attack..The one mistake maybe I would have keto two strikers instead of taking of Giakoumakis for Pavlidis..We have definitely improved under this coach but at the end of the day if we can’t top a group like this one we have no business going to group B as we would get our asses handed to us.. What does this really say about our chances in the qualifying group for the World Cup? Not good at all.. We played a good game but they need to win these types of games if they want to climb up the fifa standings.. We were undefeated and allowed 1 goal against but at the end of the day we just can’t score..

Very disheartening we haven’t felt any joy in the last 6 years.. The team looks better under JVS but we still can’t win a f***ing Easy group..

That was our chance to win it.. I cant believe we missed the net..

Running out of time

Smart move JVS... Zeca off for Tziolis

Nice shot by Bakasetas great save..

Tzioilis looks like his coming on and i think he will take Fortounis off which is a bad move if he does..

I know... But the yellow card worries me with him.

With one yellow and Tzavellas being a hot head maybe JVS should take him off just in case.

Tzavellas better cool down before he gets a red card.

bad play by Fortounis
