I didn’t know where to post this so I’ll do it here. I don’t wanna hear we lack in the attack anymore. Our midfield is horrendous and thus stifles our attack and puts our defenses in poor positions. Look at Man U this year for example yes ton of other issues but they have great attacking options and not great but definitely not horrid defensive options and a goalie performing great ( doesn’t all that sound familiar) . Results? Horrible season that would have been far worse without Ronaldo pulling hatricks out hid behind. We don’t have a Ronaldo and even if we did Man U still stunk this year. Today, May 11, 2022 we may have witnessed the most prolific scoring by Greeks abroad in our history. Giakoumakis scored 1, Pavlidis scored a brace, Douvikas scored 1, and Limnios scored a brace also. Without midfield without the heart of the team we are nothing. Not to mention Tziolis and maybe Pelkas (ehh). We shouldn’t be referring to a weakness in attacking selections when discussing our team cuz it’s just not true at the moment.

Giakoumakis back in the starting line up and a goal to show for it. 11 goals in 20 appearances with multiple of those appearances being subs. They just won the league with their draw today too!
-
Limnios with a brace today !! 7 goals while playing on the wing this year.
-
Another goal for our boy !!!!! 9 Goals on the year for the youngster funny enough Pavlidis scored a brace opposite to him in a 2-2 draw Douvikas with the equalizer !
-
2 more goals today for our boy!!! Giving him officially a .5 goals per game tally with 16 goals in 32 games let’s GOO

Vlach
Lyratzis Mavropanos Manolas Tsimikas
Alexandropoulos
Limnios Siopis Giannoulis
Pavlidis Giakoumakis
I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out guys. Giannoulis NEEDS to play. He started most of the year in the Prem and actually played well once he got used to the speed of things. He is too fast and crafty on the ball to not play him and we tried Tsimikas as a third cb and him as the back and that didn’t work I think keep Kosta and him on that side they will terrorize. Limnios would have to play a little further back than usual (and on his opposite side but again we have nothing else in the mid) but he has played well this year and ANYTHING is better than bouchalakis, bakasetas, or even Mantalos. Maybe u can put Masouras there maybe. Also look, we need to be honest. Giakoumakis and Pavlidis would be generational starters in any other Greek side (besides Mitroglous peak) we need our best players playing period same logic with Giannoulis. Slovenia wouldn’t not play two strikers if two strikers were obviously 2 of their best 4 players. We are not France or Italy. You play ur best players same reason Giannoulis on here. Tziolis first pick for sub and obviously this lineups needs Manolas and siopis to come back from their issues with the team.

Jose Mourino has expressed that he wants Tsimikas at Roma. I think this Roma team will challenge for the title next year so that would be nice and he needs more game time and would follow the footsteps of Manolas, Holebas, and Torosidis at Roma. But man, kinda hoped for a bigger club than that? We’ll see what he does

Yet another goal for our boy this time against giants Ajax in a 2-2 draw. Giving our guys 14 goals and 5 assists in 31 games. Good stuff!
-
Giakoumakis subbed on and scored in their 4-1 win this weekend. Brings his tally up to 10 goals in 19 games and the fans are loving him
-
Colak with the assist

Colak deserves this starting spot

I’d be lying if I didn’t say Cruise control feels nice after all of our must win European games and cup games. We can focus on the final and challenging for the title next year

They decided to go with Williams the United loanie instead of our boy and they lost 2-0. I don’t think he’ll stay on so Giannoulis spot shouldnt be in jeopardy next season as they have a ton of other issues

Third straight clean sheet in the league for our boy. It’s not looking like Benfica will get a champions league spot but like I said he’ll hopefully be moving to a better club regardless

Started but was subbed off in a 1-1 draw against Heracles. Love how many Dutch teams have Greek inspired teams
-
Scored what looked to be the game winner against Sparta only for them to equalize in extra time. Gives him 13 goals and 5 assists in 30 league matches which is pretty decent.

It seems he’s fit again but didn’t start and was subbed on for Celtic’s 1-1 draw with Rangers. Hopefully it’s about easing him in and he can finish the season in the starting 11
-
Big game winning goal for Douvikas 1-0 against NEC on Friday. This gives the youngster 8 goals and 3 assists in 31 league games. He’s steadily improving

Exciting stuff, good confidence booster for the guys too. With the money we earned this year, no way our boys can't challenge these bums next year.
-
Very winnable game. Lets hope the boys can take out their frustrations from Europe on the reds and hopefully win some silverware. This team has had too good of a season by Greek standards to end up empty handed. We were the better team in the first game for most of it, however, as per usual we have no finishing up top. Hoping for Kurtic or Zivkovic strike to take us thru to the finals!

Subbed off in the 90th minute as AZ came back down 1-0 to beat Heerenveen. Didn't score but did some nice things. kinda blew a good fast break opportunity, but another full 90 to his name regardless. Currently fifth and 3 points off third (European Football).

Another loss for Norwich against Newcastle 3-0, which pretty much ends any hope for Premier League survival for the boys. Giannoulis played the full game and Tziolis was subbed on, but I was unable to watch the game, so not sure how well they did. Judging from the score line, prob not too great lol. Championship minutes for Tziolis would be far better than rotting on a bench hopefully this will be a good opportunity for them to play him and keep Giannoulis as a permanent starter.

Started and was subbed off at the 90th minute in a comfortable 2-0 win against Sparta Rotterdam. This is also huge because it ties them on points with third place Feyenoord. I don't know why but according to google the Dutch league only sends 3 teams to Europe. 2 to Champions League and 1 to Europa Conference League.

Came on as a sub today as Celtic have been taking turns starting him and this other really good striker. Regardless he scored a brace in a 6-0 thrashing of Motherwell bumping his tally up to 13 goals in 21 games.
