i think dzeko is a better striker than mandzukic but the latter can play in the wings and is more versatile so he can cause more problems. unlike dzeko who will be sitting in the box waiting for his teammates to feed him.
probable croatian squad;
subasic
pivaric lovren vida vrsaljko
rakitic modrid rog
mandzukid kramaric perisic
it will be crucial for zeca to make modric eat his tongue and control the midfield. and of course don't start tziolis because he will be abused.
i hope at least for manolas and karelis to be back, the former because we have built a chemistry on the defensive end and the latter becuase with donis out we don't have much options up front. however probably skibbe will try not to lose in zagreb and will use stafylidis and mantalos as wingers in a 4-4-1-1 formation, with fortounis and mitroglou putting pressure on their cbs and not letting them to build up the play as it happened in the brussels game. if we execute the same game plan it would be perfect, and i think we will have more opportunities to score than we had again belgium. and in form mitroglou will surely exploit them.

Does Croatia have any problems on the injury front?
kovacic of real madrid (midfielder), brozovic of inter (winger) and pjaca of juventus (winger)

i suspect we might not see a 4-2-3-1 formation now. skibbe might try the same 4-4-1-1 he used for the belgium game
karnezis
torosidis-sokratis-papadopoulos-tzavellas
mantalos-zeca-samaris-stafylidis
fortounis
mitroglou
the most probable one in my mind

shocking..our chances are quite slim after the 2 latest injuries..
-
well if manolas will be available for the roma game that sunday then i think he will start for us too in the first game.
from croatia, kovacic, brozovic and pjaca will be out. they also have plenty of players who are yellow card away of suspension.
i think our performances against belgium were a good evident of how we're doing in big games. and i also rate belgium way higher than croatia. but im afraid of skibbe and his dreadful choices, croatian midfield is world class so starting tziolis will be a suicide. if he doesn't, i give us chances of grabbing a victory away. mitroglou is getting back in form while having donis around is a great bonus. we can score a goal and hopefully we'll not conceding more than 1. even a 1-1 result will be great, going back to athens with us having the advantage is what we need.

basically it's premier league u23 and mourgos is starting for norwich, recently he also scored a goal. such players should not be wasting their potential, good thing he's still 18 so he can offer some things in the future. him and spanoudakis could be nice additions post 2020 decade.

he should be around anyways. retsos can be used as a RB as you said. i think that back line would be great to have going on to nations league.
RB; torosidis-retsos-lykogiannis
CB; sokratis, papadopoulos, oikonomou
CB; manolas, siovas, chatzidiakos
LB; stafylidis, tzavellas, koutris

You guys think he Manolas will be back for playoffs?
What's goingon with Karelis?
karelis just came back from his injury and played a game with genk's b team...he is slowly coming back and i think he might crack into the squad if he gets fit in time and gets playing time in his team...currently they're doing s%$#! which means they will have him around to help them a bit in the next weeks.

What you guys fail to understand is that the playoffs are related with the AFOREMENTIONED league. Which practically means EACH league will produce at least one Euro 202 participant. The so called playoffs you are bragging about will be between the best 4 teams of each league with the eventual winners gaining a ticket to the Euros, be it LEAGUE A or LEAGUE D.......
-
wow. i said it doesnt apply for qualifications or eliminations but for games and only that!!! austria for example beat serbia and moldova while scotland beat slovakia and drew slovenia. that means MUCH more points that beating cyprus and gibraltar.
-
lol guys it playing in the playoffs or not doesn't even matter. we had cyprus and gibraltar and took the maximum of what we could which was only 22 points. the other teams played against tougher opposition hence they got more points and they're ahead of us...simple as that.
-
so it will be a 50-50 desicion..
-
he'll keep calling up and starting washed up ex-player tziolis as well as 2nd league players with no playing time such as vellios or diamantakos, gianniotas etc. ofc we shouldn't forget the amazing tzavellas and maniatis duo especially the first who is starting over a premier league defender.
-
going on to the next campaign that's the squad i'd like to be around for the most part.
karnezis, kapino, vlachodimos
torosidis, retsos
sokratis, papadopoulos
manolas, siovas
stafylidis, lykogiannis
samaris, tachtsidis, charisis
zeca, kourmpelis, siopis
fortounis, pelkas
donis, lazaros
mantalos, mpakasetas
mitroglou, karelis
i know this is not possible judging from what skibbe has shown us so far.
-
it will be a huge miss but definitely not to the level of mitroglou for example where his back ups are 2nd league players!!!!! (especially with karelis being out)

looks like manolas got injured yesterday and probably will miss the playoff games.

he scored his first goal against koln today and had many more chances to score a couple more.

no that's not true. you can read it here in greek. http://www.cnn.gr/news/sports/story/98485/uefa-to-nations-league-mpainei-sti-zoi-mas-vid
QuoteΚάθε "πρωτάθλημα-λίγκα" θα έχει το δικό της Final-4 (με τους νικητές των ομίλων σε ημιτελικούς και τελικό) ώστε να προκύπτει μία θέση από έκαστο "δρόμο". Ακόμη δηλαδή και μια ομάδα από τις ανίσχυρες χώρες του τελευταίου γκρουπ, μπορεί να βρεθεί σε τελική φάση EURO.
-
we ain't moving much but if we get past our playoff opponent it means we'll get a major boost. we're the lowest seeded team so whoever comes in our way means it will give us many points.
and hopefully a qualification :D

im not claiming a conspirancy against greece but in favor of italy which means they'll get most likely nothern ireland.

The draw won't be staged. Not as sure about the ref, but I doubt that'll be an issue as well. If we lose, it'll be because we don't know how to score.
it will be in favor of italy for the reason i explained above.
other than that i agree. that's why denmark suits us better as a team with less offensive firepower than rest of them.

Is he stop recovering from his injury or will be available for the u-19 qualifiers in November?

that's why i said in a 3+ year period. if they have managed to establish themselves as bundesliga and premier league players by then ofc.
