Greece looks good. Want to see them play like this in the qualifiers.

The link works great - thanks!

The line-up he put out on Saturday seems to be his preferred line up. This seems to me like it would be the second team.

This year he improved. I also think playing with Tzolis and Karetsas makes him better. They seem to have found a rhythm together.

I feel like Pavlidis doesn't fit the playing style of the kids. I believe that in the future he will be replaced by either one of Tzimas/Kostoulas The next three is set, can't argue with that line Tzolis/Delias/Karetsas Zefeiris/Mouzakitis and Kourbelis Giannoulis (seems to be favored or Tsimikas) Retsos (seems to be favored over Mavropanos) Koulierakis Vagiannidis Tzolakis (Mandas depending on form)

3-1 DOuvikas

Overall - entertaining game. Lots of chances, we look fast, Tzolis/Delias/karestas are something we never had. Defense looks very shaky.

What a stupid pass!!! Mandas saved it though

Mandas looks good though - nice save

Almost a goal for them

Good goal

1-1

Another Pavlidis miss

He wants that goal - funny how Kostadelias (the 22 yr old veteran) consoles the kid after missing the chance (Karestas)

How nice is it to see us playing like that…and how many chances can Pavlidis miss???

Using his back

Delia’s 1-0

Delia’s!!

And the save!!!

BS penalty

Oh - and Bakesetas on the bench.

Interesting Retsos over Mavropanos. Wonder if that is something he would consider during real games. Mandas getting a shot. Can’t wait for Tzimas or Kostoulas to start getting games.

Regarding the Starting 11... GK - Tsolakis to lose now. CBs - Mavro/Kouliarakis have cemented their places. Maybe Restos can replace Mavro from time to time. LB - Tsimikas or Giannoulis can go either way. RB - Same for RB. I prefer Vagiannidis over Rota but not sure if Ivan definitely will choose Vagiannidis. In the midfield - I think he showed us that he liked the two kids over Mantalos. Siopis/Kourbellis still have a shot but the kids played well. RW - Karetsas cemented his claim, no going back. LW - Tzolis for the next 10 years. From strength to strength with him. AM - Delias or Bakasetas may depend on the game. Delias is the better option/should start but we shall see what Ivan wants to do. It's just the Delias and Karetsas linked up so well!!! ST - Neither Pavlidis or Ioannidis really stuck out. If Tzimas or Kostoulas get a shot, they may keep it.

I think he will give the kids a chance...He sat Tsimikas who was healthy, Vlacho and Rota as well. He's not afraid to do what is necessary. I think most of us are used to coaches keeping the same guys no matter what..

I think that was Delias that it did that. I believe that he played better bc of the link up play of Karestas. I think our draw is difficult, we don't have a traditional powerhouse but Denmark/Greece/Scotland are all on the same level. I can see us toping the group or being third. I will say that after seeing our team play on Sunday - we can play with anyone on our day.
