I just s%$#! in my pants. What about that prolific goal scorer Tzav!

What has Taxi done that Skibbe doesn't want to know him? Kone, Fetta and Ninis would of been useful too.

The Pirates will win 2-0. My sources told me so.

Koutroubis is firstly a CB, Maniatis isn't as match fit as he would normally be, and Skibbo likes to move Stafylidis around, like to replace Tzavellas. Siopis and Petsos are the back-up DM's. Tzioli will be there taking up a spot.

Taxi is not in the squad I believe. Tziol is licking his chops! The squad has an injection of more youth again with Siopi and Koutroubi.

Like to see Siopis gets a go. Koutroumbis in the squad is positive too, although ,Taxi is not there. Tziolara should of not been there instead. Hope that was his swansong as captain the other day.

Skibbo more than likely will play tall Serie A man Oikonomou in place of Manolas and keep Pap on the bench or as holding midfielder.

This is KPap's chance to be a starter whilst Manolas is on the sidelines. All the love for KPaps should come out right about now for his fans. If Tziolara starts, I'll sing his praises as my fav player, still trying to get him over to Sydney fc.

+ - * / I get it!

Well, there are Efthimios Koulouris & Nikoloas Ioannidis. Mykonos will be around for a little while longer though.

Best off attacking as 4 3 3 and be able to revert to 4 4 2 if we end up playing catch up. Destroy their composure. Need KPaps to look at them real mean along with Vellios along with our unfair advantage....Tziolara!! They will s%$#!.

The impression given when the pirates were in Australia was that Vellios had lead in his boots, quite slow. I'm assuming he has talent cause he is in the national side's squad.

I heard Aussie hadn't registered Giannou...Little Ninis and Karelis are scoring lately like I used to at sleazy nightclubs years ago. I wonder if they can do this for Hellas, Nini might be worth a shot.

RockStar, its not sarcasm re, we will have to play well to get a draw, or somehow a win-based on their Euro effort, and our non effort.

Hertzegovina had a very good Euro series. Actually they were running hot. They could beat most sides. The Pirates have to be injury free and playing fluent football to pull a draw, or somehow win.

Yeah, the AM position is well covered. It's other areas that Skibbo has to give some attention to, LW,RB and, DM.

Ninis is third to Mantalos and Fortounis at the moment. Why not try to unearth a LW or re-pick Kone, also, a back-up RB like Bakakis or Kitsiou.

Good call J-man, although, the Skibbe won't play most of the top tier of the team for more than half a game, given the fact they play Hertzegovina 3-4 days later in a short turn around. These players should be seriously considered for the next squad anyway. Also, they can expand the talent pool abit wider. This has to happen eventually, Feb friendlies are more ideal but this is an opportune time.

Like to see this vs Belarus in a 4 4 2 Kapino Staf Manolas Kpaps (c) Bakakis Kaltsas Tachtsidis Kone Ninis Bakasetas Karelis Subs: Vellios Fetfa Bouchalakis Vellidis Kitsiou

Lets get Basinas dm, Zagorakis cm, Fyssas lb, Kats left midfield/wing and Kara am - back for next match..

If Wales can be 11, we can be no.10 in the world.

Play the Tziol at RW. He accepts and runs or retires!

Tziolara=Forest Gump.

Mean Dean, in a 4 4 2 formation you have picked the team dead on, the best the Pirates have. Gianniotas can't do anything more to get into this side, it's up to the German to have trust in him. In a 4 5 1, Karelis sits out. Like the idea of trying on a Kaltsas.

Ella paithia,, we have Bosnia-Hertz and Belarus up next. Stay as allies.
