fetfa just started starting now. after the last nations leagues games.
bakasetas was a key player for AEKs league win. seems rationale to me. if skibbe doesn't call him up for the next games though THEN I will be on his case.
-
I'm hoping over time form and injuries pending that this becomes our lineup
Mitroglou
Donis Fortounis Fetfa
Zeca Kourbelis
Staf Sok Manolas Retsos
Vlacho
Samaris maybe if he finds his form again.
I don't see this happening but in attack
Karelis
Donis Fetfa Manthatis
that would be really cool / unpredictable / creative / and pacey
Mitroglou relies more on build up play and our NT sucks at that hence why he was so good at Benfica. Benfica is a powerhouse in portugal
Karelis is more suited for our NTs underdog status. His goal vs. egypt was a breakaway
-
Samaras I think had a great career. He was a vital part of our NT post euro 2004 and was an important part of Celtic when they were actually a very good team. Barca even considered getting him at a time and he almost buried that goal vs. Argentina to get us into knockouts for first time of history and was responsible for us getting into round of 16. If you look at world cup 2014 we were actually close the final if you look at how things panned out (every single team on our bracket the games ended in pks and the final in extra time)
fetfa might redeem himself and become a late bloomer.
I think fetfa is our best winger when in form. Donis has the potential to be our greatest.

Lmaooo. You guys are thinking he’s the next Mpabbe. Tell me what he’s done in the games he has played? How many goals has he been involved in? This team lacks scoring. If you want good foot work and dribbling there’s an acrobat on every street corner that can do that for spare change. Results count. Not style points.
watch Bayern vs. Stuttgart Donis and you'll get a glimpse of what he's capable if he reaches his full potential.

result wise we basically performed at the level we should. we came 2nd to a group with Belgium and lost to World cup finalist in the playoffs. No shame there really. I'd put it in more of having a tough draw. After we won the Euro we were top seed so we had easier draws for almost a decade until we blew it euro 2016 campaign. That was an easy group Romania, Northern Ireland, Finland etc.
-
fetfa has been looking decent and seemingly won a starting spot at oly now ?

I seriously doubt Germany would call him. They're the most stacked country for keepers lol.
there is this though and the fact that he represented germany for a lot of under 21 and lower divisions
-
I like Staf second to Holebas. I like Tsimikas more than Lyko.Tsimikas has insane work rates/pace
-
my ideal line up if everyone was playing and in form (this mostly applies to Samaris right now)
mitroglou
donis fortounis fetfa
zeca samaris
holebas sok man retsos
karnezis
currently form wise I'd probably go with this
mitroglou
donis fortounis lazaros/pelkas
zeca kourbelis
holebas sok man bakakis
barkas
-
I think alefantos would be good still. If he's good enough for olympiakos he's good enough for the NT

me and my buddy discussed who could take over if skibbe is gone
he suggested Conte, Morinho (if he gets sacked), Zidane or Wenger
I think Mourinho would be great but I think all of the above are too good for our NT sadly. From the above I think Mourinho would do the best job.
Portugese highly respect Greece and Mourinho is heavy on the defense. He'd probably start Siovas Manolas Sokratis Retsos Kpaps in the starting 11 and we'd be a wall.
-
the netherlands win was quite good. (friendly but still)
nearly beat belgium in the 1-1
-
olympiakos had the more dangerous chances though, about 3. despite betis have huge swaths of possession.

England do have speed but they play the kick and run style which suits our defense fine. I would much rather face the English then a great technical side such as a Belgium or Spain.
England has always beaten Greece though. While we have gotten results against Belgium and Spain.

alef sucked so hard. shows how good galanopoulos is though. he was a huge reason why AEK looked good first half
-
livaja lopes bakasetas out
then in the summer losing lazaros vranjes johanson araujo
7 key players in the squad.
AEK a shell of their team last year and missed out on a chance to really build a dystany. possibly because of cheapness/finances
-
AEK looking good but need to get shots on target. Ponce all over them but needs to be more clinical. I think Livaja would've at least challenged the keeper.
-
Alefantos for me would be ideal. He's passionate about greek soccer. knowledgable. has a proven track record and available.
I think he doesn't rate staf tho but he'd get holebas back into the picture and he's not that stubborn. he didn't rate pelkas either but pelkas won him over.
we'd also get siovas back into the picture and he also understands that toro is on his last legs. he clearly just understand the game well.
skibbe seems more concerned in making sure the camera catches him doing a blue steel pose at the right moment to capture that cougar demographic

Surely no one thinks Toro, being captain pirate, will be dropped mid-tournament. C'mon. Bakak has to come back from injury first, be a sub 2 or 3 times and by then even Tziolara together with Toro, will ride off into the Mykonos sunset.
lol I spit out my water when I read this.

We are not a team made for more offensive football even tho i would love to see it.. Lets think about this logically, when we were a defence first team we were averaging roughly a goal a game and not conceding, We try to be more offensive and we are STILL averiging a goal agame but now we are conceding more then before... I hate the boring defensive minded football but i feel that's the only way this team is going to get the wins.. By defending and then scorning a goal and sitting back.. I hate to say it but that is the reality of this team.. Think about it, we have 1 striker that is slow, we have a below average midfield and our strongest position is defence...
not even strongest point is defense. our strongest point is cb. our fullbacks aren't that great... staf and bakakis I guess but I don't think there's ever been a game where they started. Holebas is our best fullback and is not even in the picture.

^^^think of it this way..we should aspire to look for berg like quality strikers to come to panathinaikos...id rather have mantzios back then that guy :lol:
we were spoiled with cisse and then berg. and tbh he was a bit of a dud till he came till us
only other striker that I was jelly of from the other clubs was mitroglou circa 2012-2013 oly
you could make a case for blanco too I guess tho
actually prijovic is very good as well.
if fulham didn't get promoted there was a good chance mitrovic would've come to greek league. if pao wasnt a broke joke we could've got him or maybe paok cuz he's partizan.
would've been cool if we got dusan tadic. I'm gunna try to sign him as cam to berg in my pao dynasty squad on fifa lol

Stafylidis for Lykogiannis and Donis for Pelkas. Pelkas for whom you guys argue to play in the wings proved he can't play there.
how? he seemed great there to me. his first touch game elevated a lot. was able to control really hard passes out wide.

Why cant we play this:
Mitro
Pelkas lazaros
FortounisKourbelis Zeca
Lyko Manolas papa Toro?
Barkas
probably the ideal lineup. just first game he played mantalos and second he played tzavellas aka mr tsabouka. zeca I think was a bit injured that's why he didn't start.
wouldn't mind bakakis over toro

fetfa nearly won the game for oly in the 1-1 draw vs. aek
forotunis with a beauty goal and bakasetas great header goal to equalize.
