The Euro or EPL leagues are surely best but, if a player cannot get a look in then other leagues are by far preferable cause the players play all the time. Can't buy match fitness. A team getting it together happens primarily cause players play regularly in their respective leagues. A team can absorb injuries and still play well when the squad plays regularly.
-
Lazo, Kareli is out for 12 months with leg injury. Who better for LW than proven world cup goalscorer Samaras? The Pirates must start to phase in wingers sooner rather than later, even with the risks involved. The first option is Giorgios. His troubled times are behind him now and he can play.
-
If people are happy to pick players that play in the Chinese league, ie. Fetfa, as long as they are getting real minutes, then consider Samaras who plays in the NASL (same standard league, if not better), for LW for the pirates, where he has the most expertise over Anyone we have. He has more speed than Tzioli, Taxi and afew others.
-
The Skibbe is looking at Louka Villafanez (u20 Argentine rep). This shows Ninis, Kone, Fetfa and Pelka won't be considered again. Hope this guy is talented, from Panathenaikos.

Need a wingman on the beach here, all the gomenes! Skank whats doin?
-
Unless Maniatis plays with a team and does well, he has no place in the squad. Tziolis offers nothing and that choice hasbeen dead wood rather than experience. Why not bring back Samaras then, he is better to have around than Tziol. If they don't choose form players, and hit the ground running, they can kiss my ass!
-
Lazo, I usually prefer the specialists rather than any other scenario. At least Pelka has pace, I'd go with him on the left and see how that goes.
One of the boythes mentioned Lamprou, he might go ok LW although, he is a CF first. Reguardless, if a player is good enough he is old enough I believe, at least to get experience in their legs.

we don't even have a wing problem if holebas and fetfa were selected. the wing could've been a strength of ours smh
Unless Skibbe gets moved on, Cholevas has as much chance as Fetfa, Ninis or Katsouranis in getting back. Pelkas might do the job on the left-decently. Got Gianniotas for the right side, the biggest mystery for years now, 'by far' is the lw position. Mantalos and Karelis (b4 his shocking injury) are make-shift in that position.

Staf played left mid by memory, he does that. Gianniotas came on later as did Karelis. Need a young fast LW that can cross the ball.

More chance of Toro playing as DM than Staf LW. Can't see either bros. Need to blood more mids. The problem is there is too much fear to try things. Amagine that at your honey moon.
Skibbe has to show something.
-
It's time to blood new midfielders. Taxi too slow, Samaris average, Siopis too short, Petsos isn't getting a run, Maniati and Tzioli-legend no clubs. May have to pick Bouchalakis and Virus, along with Mantalos as a central mid, Fortounis as AM ofcourse.
-
Karagounis was slower in his later stages than Tachtsidis is now. It wasn't an issue a couple of years ago. Kara retired and the Pirates sank for two years! Taxi played against Hungary and was man of the match. Enough said.
-
As much as I would pick Samaris before any other player for a toothpaste commercial, the mids for mine should be Taxi DM, Mantalos CM and Fortounis AM. Taxi's vision is good, Samaris' is average for a full match at this level.
-
Cholevas/Holebas is quick down the left side and cuts in, or can cross effectively, good player. Does he score the goals Tzavellas scored recently in a couple of internationals? Tzav's boot has a knack of finding a goal when all is lost. It's all about the goals.

Let me tell it like it is, shoot from the hip! Will the Pirates get any points vs Belgium? a definite maybe!
KPaps shows a lot of potential although he is overly injury prone. Not a great player yet. Sok and Manolas are the real deal.

ella you ladies man Skanka, you hurt my feelings re!

Vellios has been in the goals, I think 6 in fewer matches. With DM, I prefer Samaris as box 2 box, it then leaves things up to Maniatis, Taxi, Petsos, Siopis or Koutroubis. I went for Petsos as he is mobile, has size and looks composed.
-
Out of the question vs Belgium?
Karnezis
Toro (c) Manolas Sokratis (vc) Tzavellas
Petsos
Samaris
Gianniotas Fortounis Kone
Vellios
Karelis Mykonos Mantalos Fetfatzidis Who LW???
Bouchalakis Tachtsidis Maniatis
Stafylidis Oikonomou Koutroubis
Kapino Barkas
-
Vellios scores heap of goals and Karelis in hot form. KPaps might need surgery.. whats new
-
With the determination of Metaxa and Kolokotroni, Greece will match Belgium, she will be fresh and the team will be a better functioning team chosen this time.

The Skibbe wiil have Stafy alongsine Samaris as two DM's vs Belgium. Very inventive, no, boring as bat-shyte, yes!
-
Didn't realise they are not starters, any other DM options? I like what Taxi brings to the team but Skibbe has an issue.

Avraam Pap will fit in well at Brisbane Roar. He is described as a rock. Should be able to keep up.
