I've been thinking about putting Samaris as the number 8. I want to Hinton attacking positions. He is capable of scoring some spectacular goals.
Kourbelis and Siopis look like they are hungry for an opportunity.
I would really like to Gianniotas play more often. There's something about him that makes you think he can change the game in seconds. His speed and skill is very valuable to have. Imagine him and Stafylidis working together on the left. I don't know why Skibbe doesn't understand that.
I agree also on Gianniotas Deanos. People want fat Fetta-Fetfa so why not Gianniota who is a pocket rocket too? We will get the same positive attacking output. Samaris scores one of the best goals I've ever seen at a World Cup and he got banished to no.6 deep-lying. What a Vlakia!

Skibbe can do nothing else if Holebas aint interested in throwing his ego away and play for a coach that wanted him as a LB. Happened with Georgatos too under Otto and yet noone blamed otto about it then because we won the Euros I suppose.
I honestly am of the opinion that apart from Lazaros Christodoulopoulos and possibly Dimitrios Pelkas instead of Bakasetas and Diamantakos every other single call up was justified. Noone disagrees that our Goallie, Defenders , Striker , Fortounis should be in the line up. What peopla dont like are some of hte wingers Skibbe uses (Mantalos-Bakasetas to be fair) and the midfield.
When it comes to wingers. Skibbe uses defensively minded players in there. Stafylidis and Mantalos usually. a LB who is very good offensively and a attacking mid who proved why he plays when he pressured high and assisted mitroglou (and hit the woodwork).
Yesterday the only one who cant be blamed for the low scoring is Skibbe. Mitroglou lost a few chances. Mantalos hit the wood and his assist to Fortounis was a bit behind than it should and thus cleared. We had 5-6 clear chances to score in myhumble opinion and people are still disappointed. We won them way harder at Athens despite the score. This team apart from the Estonia match , after the 6th is playing very solidly. We are in the play offs coz we deserve it).
When it comes to the central midfielders I ll say something that noone wants to hear. We have noone.
Samaris is not offensively orientated, yet a class above everyone else in that part so he looks like the best box to box we have. Truth is He is not even a box to box. He is just too good and of an experienced age to know what he has to do and do it.
Zeca is defensively decent at worst. Tziolis. Eveyrone hates Tziolis. I see the reason. Tziolis really deserves to be called but not to be a starter. Let's ask ourselves why.
Our Greece sux so much that Skibbe needs a tall line up for the set pieces. There it is. Yesterday we had 2 corners where we had a clear header. One went in. Do I praise Tziolis for scoring? No. Did he get the job done in front of 2 Cypriots? Yes.
So overall. Skibbe is playing our best defenders, our best goalies , our best centerforward and our best attacking mid. Donis when not injured usually starts and the only problems I see are a)when Zeca/Samaris are injured so usually Tziolis will play b)Mantalos being on the wings. Scrap Mantalos for Lazaros and you got a far more decent attacking mid trio. But what happens with his defensive duties? Skibbe made a solid defence that conceded as many goals as Belgium.
Yet we are still complaining.
Rockafella Hugh Hefner Skank, your passion is up there with the greats like Karagounis, Sampson, Leonidas, La Mendel etc. I Must disagree this time bruh, Zeca has an attacking game, Tachtsidis is an asset, Samaris I never had him in the highest category. I think he should of played as an 8, not a 6. Tziolaraaa is not too bad, off the bench. We have a good squad.
Kourbelis and Siopis are screaming for an opportunity. We don't know how good they are cause they don't get a shot-like Bouchalakis and hoping to see Villafanez.
-
What I get from that post Paokarag4, you also feel Tziolara can be man of the tournament in Ruskia as most of us believe then
-
Tziolara had energy as that was an excellent header. It was followed up with two fist-pumps! This guy has found his mojo. I don't know if Samaris would of done an allround better job atm.
Taxi is the most short-changed player in recent memory. He deserves more of a go in this team.

That Greek soap opera on the bottom right window looks interesting, must be a new one. I recognise the actress on the right.

Vlachomidos joins Samaris at Benfica. Well, what about that! Former youth international Dioudis to take over at Pan.

Donis out freak injury, will likely see Lazaro on the LW.
I hate when soccer players mow the lawn or do the shopping and get these injuries.

Vre Gsots, I was tempted to have a yeeros with tomato sauce re! Tziol at AM gave me melancholy. The world nearly fell off its axis. I hope Akritis or Red Sheriff didn't read that.

Arab doesn't play LW and Tziolaris is the worst AM of footballing history. Daniel De Silva of the Mariners might be available. Staf won't miss out to Tzav either bruh, na poume.
Gsots you still managed to get a loveheart for that team you posred re..legend!

The obvious issue with Kyriako is that he is overwhelmingly the least reliable player the pirates could choose. He can't play 2 games in a row, over a long period of time. It's been the case for the National team.
Who else gets suspended for 2 matches in soccer?
-
Michalis looks outstanding. Send the highlight reel to Skibbe now.
-
That was the view of the anglo-saxons towards the Europeans, back when they migrated out here between the 50's and 70's. They realised it made it a better place afterwards.
-
This match will be streamed in Sydney on Agona Sports for $7.55
You would think with Zeca, Samaris, Kourbelis and Arab, Micheal would Finally stop picking Tziol...not!
-
Looks as though Mitro and Toro are in and will invite Lazaros Christodoul for the next campaign, according to Agona Sports.
Karelis has had no game time through injury. Good back ups are Diamantakos on current form and Bakasetas (centrally).
Also, if Jose is not on the wing he is the DM. If he is on the wing, Samaris comes in as he has gotten game time at Benfica. Tachtsidis should be in CM.
Mitroglou
Lazaros Fortounis Donis
Tachtsidis
Zeca
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mitroglou
Donis Fortounis Zeca
Tachtsidis

Pasho, Jose has been our best player in both games. He even scored a great goal playing on the wing at the time. He is not the choice as the s%$#! middi.
-
Ever since La Mendel has stopped posting, it has never been the same re Deano. Even Rocka Skank, Lazo thu dj and Akriti, who I look up to, don't have that exact aura.

Is Ange Postecoglou leaving the Socceroos?
Yes Deanos, at the end of this cycle of World Cup Qualification, whether they get in and compete or not. I also noticed how chummy he was with Sokrati, Staf etc.
ps. leave a like/heart re.

When Vellios was out here in Australia, he gave a great death-stare at one of the Socceroo players in one game That must count for something as it was world class. At the end of the day, he and Tziolara must join Mitro on his next trip to Mykonos.
Those who want the 3 4 3 or 3 2 4 1 or 3 5 2 team structures, (Sokrati..Kyriak..Manolas at the back), it could well be coming to you next year. Ange will be available in the near future, to turn us into an attacking force with an abundance of flair!
Fat Fetfa and Toro will become greyhounds from all the running up & down the sidelines.
-
Tziolaris should be all the midfielders, although, fat Fetta is better than slow Tziolara!

This is what should happen against Cyprus:
Karnezis
Torosidis. Manolas. Sokratis Tzavellas
Tachtsidis Samaris
Zeca. Stafylidis
Donis. Mitroglou
Notice how deep the defensive midfielders are. This gives us protection in defence and also having Zeca who is a workhorse to track back and help Torosidis and then help going forward in attack. Stafylidis also works hard and likes to run. He also has a lethal shot. I would bench Fortounis and Mantalos and play Donis who plays well as second striker. I would instruct him to drop deeper and collect the ball and free up space in attack.
Subs can be:
Gianniotas, Fortounis and maybe Lazaros if we need goals.
When they push up in attack, as in the other matches, the front three needed more support. This is the problematic CMF position where Tachtsidis must play higher up or even Bouchalakis with his attacking flair. Either can link with Donis and Mykonos too.
Donis might be our best AM or SS, he has made every post a winner. He is lively and the opposite to Fortounis.
