Apparently he is going with the team that started in the play offs. How F***ed can he be.

I think we can all agree that Tziolis and Tzavellas should not be on this team. The thing is that we all know it. How can Skibbe not? There something fishy about this and it's not benefiting the team.

I hope that's our line up on Friday.

Nah I think the 2012 one is the best ever.

I might just do that. How good is the stream though? Is it HD throughout?

That's the best one man. Why can't we keep that Jersey. The 2014 one wasn't that good. The one we have now is better than that one.

If we can get Fortounis playing the way he did against Arsenal a few years back then we can definitely become a threat to many teams. In that game he could of scored three goals.

I agree. If Manos continues this form and moves to a bigger club then he will become a star. He has strong ambitions and he looks up to Lewandowski and Mitroglou. You are right in saying that he is 23 and should be a star already. The 16 year old your talking about is Masouras. Katsouranis has done a very good job at Panachaiki as the technical director.

He is still young give him 2-3 years and you will see the best of him. OFI could be in the superleague next season. They are a historic club. Panachaiki are as well. Panachaiki 95% of the team is Greek. It will be good to have these clubs in the top flight.

This player will become a star... http://m.contra.gr/Soccer/Hellas/Superleague/olympiacos/dhmhtrhs-manos-o-kanonierhs-toy-ofh.5127817.html

I agree about Donis playing behind Mitroglou. But I also think we need to utilize his pace on the wing. If somehow he can work on his crosses then we can become even more dangerous.

Unfortunately....

These are players who I would have called up. Tsitontas, Paschalakis, Gianniotis, Bakakis, Kivrakidis, Retsos, Papadopoulos, Siovas, Risvanis, Chatzisaais, Giannoulis, Tsimikas, Lykogiannis, Kourbelis, Samaris, Zeca, Galanopoulos, Kone, Fortounis, Pelkas, Donis, Limnios, Lamprou, Karelis, Kotsopoulos, Vasilakakis, Lazaros. This is who I would have chosen. There is 1 or 2 who don't deserve to play but the majority of this team deserve to be called up. Sokratis, Manolas, Stafylidis, Torosidis, Tachtsidis and Mitroglou don't have to be called up. Bakasetas and Gianniotas need to prove themselves more. Kotsopoulos is up and coming striker. If anyone has seen him play knows that he will be a great player one day.

I thought Tsimikas should have been called up. He is improving very well at the Netherlands. Hopefully he can come back to Olympiakos and become a starter.

I agree about Gianniotas. He can be a good option off the bench. Are talking about when Gianniotas beat a player one on one and played it to Pelkas? Pelkas should of scored really. We really need players who can score. There are a lot of players that can do everything but destroy the final pass or cross or even shot. Donis is all fire and fury but cant cross or finish. Pelkas can beat a player or 2 but skies the ball after. Gianniotas sometimes does too much. Lazaros holds on the ball too long. Hopefully Limnios plays very well. I wanted Lamprou to get called up but thats life.

Here is a video of Alefantos talking about the callups. Says Vasilakakis should be starting in this team. He highly rates Giannoulis the left back of Atromitos. https://youtu.be/82iplmNmGJY

I think your wrong. Only because Tziolis is not effective in anything he does. One thing I can think of is his height with headers that's about it. Samaris is way more effective in building an attack. He plays more sharper passes forward. The only thing Samaris can do more of is play riskier passes something that Tachtisidis does. I don't understand how coaches can rely on Tziolis. I just don't get it. Maybe around 2010 in the world cup he was ok. That's about it. He is now doing Katsouranis and Basinas job of holding. Kourbelis, Samaris, Tachtsidis, Zeca, K.Papadopoulos and Siopis can do a better job in that position. That's 6 players.

When was the last time he scored? Or had an assist? Not good enough to be in this team. Skibbe must be living in another world.

I think you mean agents. But isn't the coach Skibbe suppose have the final word on who gets called up? I don't understand how agents pick the team?

He is an absolute joke. I had some respect for him before now it's gone too far. How can Tziolis do any good to the team? This team lacks GOALS! Tzavellas is not needed but I can understand with him because of his set pieces. That's all he can offer. Either one of Siopis and Galanopoulos should've been called up. Fetfatzidis is the best attacking player in my opinion for Greece. After that it's Donis. He said he didn't need Sokratis, Manolas and Mitroglou. Why call them up? Mavropanos deserved to be called up because he was doing well at PAS. Positives are that he called up Bakakis. Good to see Limnios there too. Fortounis doesn't deserve to start any of these matches but being called up is fine. Samaris is our best CDM so I understand. Kone has been playing well and didn't get called up. Unfortunately Lamprou is still carrying an injury but I still don't believe he would have called him up. There are also a couple of decent players from Atromitos that didn't get called up. But he has to call up Tziolis and Tzavellas who barley start for their teams. Where is Charisis? What about the very talented and inform Paschalakis. Koulouris dosen't deserve to be in the team.

Is everyone else surprised that he didn't call up Galanopoulos. Probably not because he is a dumb s%$#!. Why call up Lykogiannis, Stafylidis and Tzavellas. Only 2 should be called up and it's the first 2. Happy that Limnios and Pelkas got called up. Donis is in the team aswell as Karelis. There is something to look forward to. Tziolis and Tzavellas are his toy boys and won't ditch them for anyone.

Hopefully not. My biggest concern is how we play. This is important right now. Lazaros Lamprou has been injured for 2 weeks now as I was looking forward of him being included. Hopefully Masouras gets picked.

Yeah that's true but we also need players who have played and who are experienced in the team like Tachtsidis,, Stafylidis and Lazaros. So we need to win this game as well for the rankings. We also need to try out a few new players.

Most realistic line up: Paschalakis Bakakis Retsos. Kyriako (c) Stafy Kourbelis Tachtsidis Lazaros. Pelkas. Donis Karelis

Androutsos should play more because he has something special. His defensive work has always been good. He also hood in attack and has nice passes. He does remind of Ninis in a way but Androutsos is better defensively and is more aggressive. Manthatis time will come. He plays well for PAS and has a few assists to his name. Can he do better ofcourse. I'd like to see him in the national team soon. Limnios is better than the top 2. Very fast, good dribbling, flair and smart. He needs to more game time to prove himself and I believe he will be our star winger soon enough. Lazaros Lamprou and Tasos Chatzigiovannis are also in and coming wing players that are from the PAO youth setup. They also have great potential. If all these player can live up to expectations in the next 2 years then we will have good depth on the wing and attacking midfield.
