Platellas is a good player. But the problem is he is short. I agree but if he keeps going like this he should be called up.

Fortounis is more vital to the team than Mantalos. But Mantalos is needed in the team.

Koutroubis can't be given time when we have Sokratis, Manolas, Kyriakos and Oikonomou.

Bakasetas needs more time. I believe he can play defensive mid. He has got a good shot on him and is strong on the ball. I saw the repeat of Asteras Tripolis vs PAOK just to see how Kourbelis played. He is far more useful than Tziolis and can play both CB and DM. Also I saw Tsoukalas. He is a strong player and has good touches. Ioannidis is a player to look out for also Koulouris played well.

Has Charisis been playing or is he injured. What about Pelkas?

Does know how Charisis is doing? What about Pelkas? he was vital in our only Euro Qualifying win against Hungary.

Alright thanks.

Do you have to pay or anything?

Reaper where can I find replays of full matches of the Ethniki?

Papadopoulos can get away with it more than Holebas because he is younger, hungrier and more ambitious.

Haha he is such a tank. What a beast!

Does anyone have suggestions? Petsos could be the answer or maybe Mantalos. I'd still have Maniatis and Tzavellas as squad players and that's it. Even Tziolis but he would be my very last option. I thinks it good to have these 3 players in the team because it gives the younger players more of a drive to improve and progress and by having the 3 older players in team it gives the team some experience and balance.

The players that I would have in my team and start every time are Sokratis, Samaris, Kyriakos and Fortounis. Mitroglou and Manolas too but they both can be lost and be liabilities but they would definitely be in the 11. So far Mantalos is doing really well but is the RW position limiting his full potential? Also the left flank is a problem. Stafylidis and Bakasetas should be given more chances. My big problem is as much as I appreciate Maniatis work off the ball I can't stand it when he has the ball at his feet. There is no ambition it's just pass and stop and he hasn't got the vision either. I think we should find a replacement for him. We need a player who has his work rate, speed, defensive work and will to run all day. But also need a player who has the vision and creativity of a Fortounis and Tachtsidis. If I was coach this would be my objective. Someone like Karagounis would be a good example. Siopis and Kourbelis I don't know much about them. Maybe we put Stafylidis as a replacement. Even though I like to see Samaris and Tachtsidis start together I thinks it better for the team that one of them start and another one next to either Samaris and Tachtsidis to do the dog work but aswell have the technical ability and creativity.

Papadopoulos is so essential to the team, I don't care if he plays RB, DM, CB or even ST, put him in there. He will give you 100%. If every player has his mindset we would be smashing everyone. He has the passion, he has the drive and energy and he does it for his country. I'm thinking way ahead of myself but if we want to do well in the World Cup in 2018 he must be in the starting 11.

If he is too passionate he would stay and try to work things out with Skibbe and fight for the team.

It's not like Greece have a Ronaldo, Messi or Suarez. These players are superstars for their national team. We haven't got that 'one player' who is that superstar, we got a team of equals and one is not that much better than the other. I look at Sokratis because he has got all the tools and plays for a big team. Then Manolas then it's Samaris and Mitroglou. The rest are talented players who have potential.

Holebas is not Greek enough. He doesn't care enough for the team or the country. If he did he wouldn't care that he is benched and he would do his best on the field when he is subbed on. But he thought to himself I'm too good for this f*** them.

I've only rated Holebas speed and strength. He is a very average player in my opinion but has improved. In my opinion his speed has made him be part of this team. He was not very composed on the ball, he is very clumsy and touches weren't always consistent. His speed made up for everything. Stafylidis I believe has better touches on the ball and is more composed.

I am glad someone else has some belief in Bakasetas. I say give him more time and he will only get better.

I'd rather see the Ethniki play in a stadium with a capacity of 15,000 that's sold out than see the Ethniki play in a stadium of 35,000 capacity with only a 1/4 of the people. In other words I want to see a stadium packed with heaps of chanting and noise.

I agree I think it's a bit early to criticize our style of play after what happened in the Euro qualifiers. We are a new team and our first objective is to win games and build confidence as a team. So far we are doing that.

Anyway doesn't matter now we got Stafylidis and with more experience he can only get better.

We all know what he is capable of and is a solid player but he chose the path to retire and that tells me he is not a team player and thinks he is better than the whole team.

Holebas is no longer in the team so I expect to see Stafylidis instead of Tzavellas.

He is definitely a starter in my opinion.
