Similar stats to Karelis, Second stiker, winger, 23 years old, 178cm height, has speed. He can play LW so I hope Skibbe brings him in for a shot. Need natural goal scorers.

Lucas Villafanez 24, is an Argentine, played U20's for them, who through his maternal great grandfather who was from Piraeus. He can play for Greece, once he sorts out his passport, and he has expressed a desire to do so. An attacking mid playing at Panathanaikos.

Toro would have to be in the back three then as Kyriako is still unavailable. Karnezis/Kapino Torosidis Manolas Sokratis Mavrias/Bakasetas/Kitsiou Samaris Maniatis Stafylidis Mantalos Fortounis Mitroglou

Aek re Gamoto-gamoto, u must bang like a dunni door in a cyclone re. Analizing and posting gives me that orgasmic feeling. I'm sure I'm talking for most here, even the mauler, formely from the inner west of Sydney. Lets hope the next team picked will be the one that plays in the WCQ. If this happens, I'm going to hit my my peak. The players are enjoying their off season, I'm sure they are as patriotic as other countries when the matches are on. I know Buffoon is like this, I would think our guys are as well in reality. Next time you find a babe, ask her if she has a thia and set me up, I'll talk to her talk the ethnikoi na poume.

Melbourne Victory in talks with Vangelis Moras How Excitement!! I'm still hopefull someone here in Oz signs Tziolis and Vyntra soon too.

le Skibbe has to entrust Samaris as a deep lying mid, he is an elder statesman now, some success at the world cup too, or he goes permanently to 8, or goes out of the team. Need Fortounis in the 10 position. He is our go guy, our best player. Good to know there is Mantalos there as well to keep pressing later in matches. The team shows structure but need Alot more consistency at finishing in front on the scoreboard. Hope they go back to back after winning in Melb, and defeat Ned.

Tantra you Hellene, with the diamond, Cholevas/Holebas/Holevas-even, would play in the diamond, Toro looked very sharp here in Oztralia. Stafy can be LB and he is young. The wider midfielders would spread right out so the fullbacks don't have to run like box 2 box mids. It could possibly work.

4 4 2 has always been the tried and true. Skibbe probably will defend and counter attack as 4 2 3 1 and in general attack turn into a 4 3 3. Whatever system works I say. The most difficult decision is LW. If Fortounis is in the middle, stuffed if I know who goes to the left.. Bakasetas plays off both feet I suppose.

Skankarani, with your side, Skibbe can play the diamond midfield style. Karnezis Torosidis © Manolas Sokratis Holebas (Cholevas/Holevas whoever) Petsos Samaris Mantalos Fortounis Karelis (2nd striker) Mykono Mitro I think Skibbe prefers to go 4 2 3 1 generally, he would then probably back some players to play as wingmen. Could go for any of Pelkas, Bakasetas, Mantalos or say Kone.

Iceland 2 England 1, that could of been Us winning that. WCQ around the corner. Would be nice if the Greece jersey was sold at Rebel sports. Online shits me.

Interesting to see what Skibbe comes up with firstly against Ned, then against Gibbering Gibraltar. It may be best to play Fortounis as an 8 and that way Mantalos stays in the team as the 10. They can even play as two no. 10's some way.

I am under a spell and it is hard to shrug off, that being I'm alittle embarrassed to say, I'm inclined to play, THE MAN Maniatis!!!!!! - next to Samaris. Like Petsos in that capacity no doubt as he is sharp too. Tachtsidis has a good passing range but I'm a fan of a player with speed so he to me is currently a squaddie. Kourbelis should superseed Taxi now against Netherlands. Can the Ethnikoi start Bakasetas and Gianniotas on both wings, who plays left, you Naturalized Ethinko, whos opinion I rate?? Ruining one 's hairstyle can play on one's mind. To play at one's optimum, this is an area that requires good preparation.

Ethno you controversial individual, I detect Skibbe's favoured 4 2 3 1 formation. you have Samaris, Petsos as D Mids and no Cholevas at LB na poume. So Gianniotas at LW with Bakasetas on the right?

In positions where the players fit the team best. Front third ranked in order; (Karelis plays as CF often with Genk with success) CF: 1 K Mitro, 2 N Karelis, 3 A Vellios 4 D Diamantakos RW: 1 D Pelkas 2 G Gianniotas 3 A Bakasetas 4 I Mystakidis LW: 1 K Fortounis 2 J Cholevas 3 P Vlachodimos 4 L Christodoulopoulos/ P Kone Is this a fair rank of these players? If Fortounis is AM, then, we get alittle thin on the left. Cholevas can move fwd or Kosta can swap in matches with P Mantalos in the front third perhaps.

No excuse the economic crisis. Poverty makes an athlete hungrier for success. Being pampered and told how good you are and selfies for facebook are what made Hellas fail in the Euro qualifiers. The little things were not being done during matches, must get them done in WCQ's.

Lazo, that is kavlotic depth in history bruthu! You smashed it.

1789 1789 AND 1789, not picking Samaris and picking Mavrias! Some experienced posters on this site are going to have a coronary. Sherriff, Akri, Ellas, Banana, Laz, Nick say something!! Good point on Toro, although he looked very sharp to me. (I'll put my specs on next time.) Samaris plays best as an 8.

Would it not be best to put Taxi into DM, his passing range is great and if he can close down attacking raids towards the fullbacks, well.. Sorry to draw this parallel again, is he no slower than Jedinak but with superior vision perhaps? Should be trusted there then. Samaris can then play as a natural 8.

Maybe play Kyriakos as DM and Samaris as no. 8, Kyriakos passing range, is it up to scrath (& sniff) though? If not Kyri, then Petsos? Or the 65 min mark specialist, Tzioli!

I mean during friendlies.

I agree Greeko, they have been trying some more things and can use them ie. positional changes, formations, during qualifiers. Are we still playing Russia in a friendly as Gibraltor is in our group I'm reading?

Starting a petition to get Tzioli to A League.

Aide lets get Fetfa to Popovic's Western Sydney, Lazaros to Adelaide, Tziolis to Perth, Moras to Sydney FC and Kone to Melbourne City. Make it happen FFA/EPO!! Get in before China does.

As Greek Spartans, lets all talk tough and brave. Say your undies are of metal, tears are like blood, hands like sandpaper and we don't use hair gel!!!

The old comedies where Vengos kept running to get to things., That is what Skibbe needs to show Mitro so he can get inspired to run a lot more.
