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.

Ganging up on me re Akri. Not the worst team, no Tziol.

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.

As far as DM goes, long range goal-man Maniatis is without a club, the Skibbe doesn's like Tachtsidis, Samaris is alittle dumb although, should be box 2 box midfielder and Tziolara is slower than a wet week. Options therefore should now have to be Petsos, Bouchalakis or maybe virus. Blooding players should not stop as the team isn't completely settled. Otherwise, we will continue to get the same shyte. Wouldn't shock to see Stafy play there with the way Skibbe sees things. Also wouldn't mind Karelis starting ahead or Mykonos next match.

Lazo, you reckon Kone is more lethal than Fortounis or Mantalos at cam? Big call re.

yeah, my pc is tough! your one of these? I own you! Nobody advocates genocide and I know I can speak for all on here. Some idiot did something they should get locked up over! Lets agree on that!

If someone can come up with a decent LW option, a decent DM option and place Samaris as the box to box, then a decent formation can start to occur,, perhaps in a 4 3 3 / 4 5 1 scenario.

Thanks for your input now Go Away!

Afew 'Masso's' (Skopians) I've known refer to Serbs as allies and Croats as enemies. They also supported Serbia in world cup matches when Serbia have been involved, since post Yugoslavia early 90's. Usually slavs will always go with slavs deepest down. Argentinians are an interesting situation. I had a close mate years ago, was a goalkeeper, he used to love Greek culture, dancing and ended up marrying a Greek girl. I had seen him at Greek nightclubs too. Good to read about the passion that Serbs and Greeks being Christians-Orthodox, and the fact we are binded. keep in mind though, a Greek and Skopian tried to get married in a Greekk church, although, the Skopian had to Still get baptised to Greek Orthodox. They are not politically the same. There are over 25 different Orthodoxes in Orthodoxy. Anyway, Praise the Lord for the mystery over 2016 years ago for us. Now, you all don't get a kick in the butt for the arguing, lets all go get a yeeros, pame!

Kyriako getting sent off was a joke. I didn't see anything in it. In my day grabbing someone on the balls meant you want to have a coffee or to borrow the car keys. Times are changing.

I get it, Kyriakos eivai evas m#$%!s!
