Btw we need to figure out why Tziolis started over Samaris. I'm reading that in case we make it to the world cup skibbe's contract will be automatically renewed. I don't see us scoring a go even against the lokes of Estonia so we have no chance. That's better so skibbe can go and fcvk himself along with his pathetic selections..
-
where did i cry for tachtsidis not playing...are you delusional or what? i'm complaining about vellios who can't crack into nottingham forest's bench. regarding samaris he is not playing because 1) he is suspended and 2) benfica look to sell him. not because he unskilled like your crush vellios. and stop insulting me, you must be obsessed. if you don't like my posts then don't read them...

zeca and bouchalakis have never played together, i'd put samaris there instead of bouchalakis. he's a better player and i think him not playing lately isn't a reason of concern, estonian midfielders are not too much of a threat. samaris also needs to start because he'll be needed for the belgium game. i expect torosidis not to start and some key players like fortounis or mantalos who had a full schedule latelty to be subbed off if we have a decent lead, closing the game

whatever you say. friendlies? lol. what about actual games. he's not been in the squad for a 5th game in row in the league, doesn't even play in the cup. stop defending him like he's done anything worth bragging. he doesn't even earn his place here, he should be thankful we have no strikers. and i'm not clueless, that's you who thinks vellios is important for the team while he's not. same as last year, after januray he wasn't even making their squad. hopefully he and skibbe's buddy diamantakos will be the last choices in the selection if there are no absentees. sokratis also injured. he would miss estonia game anyway but he's a big loss if he can't play in the one against belgium. tbh i don't see bosnia coming close to even beating them in an empty stadium, with their crap defence they'll concede 2-3 goals easily. so us losing to belgium won't hurt, if we take care of estonia and then cyprus-gibraltar.

and vellios once again not even on the bench..he's not worth anything now, i'd gladly take some superleague striker instead of him. same for diamantakos, basically 2 out of 5 players in cf position play in b divisions and basically they don't even make the starting 11..i hope athanasiadis finds his form, he's more useful than both of these unskilled nt materials.. on other news torosidis seems to be injured and i think he'll miss the games. probably tzavellas will start in front of him but i'd prefer lykogiannis
-
i think papadopoulos will start since he's better in the air than retsos. also nt usually uses a 4-2-3-1 formation, i guess we'll see something like that karnezis torosidis manolas papadopoulos stafylidis samaris zeca (or tachtsidis, kourmpelis) mantalos fortounis donis mitrogloy (or vellios) as i said athanasiadis would be a welcome addition if he finds his form
-
karnezis is expected to move in watford or crystal palace, samaris to west brom or newcastle, stafylifis to hamburg. you don't nobody when he's about to get a transfer to minimize the chance of an injury that would ruin it. tachtsidis was not 100% healthy but will probably be ready for the game tomorrow and mitroglou is also injured but with less chances to play in these games.
-
it was played but it had no coverage and fans, it was a scrimmage game and greece won 72-68
-
durdjevic is a done deal, he will land to athens after the partizan-red star game in 27th. and from what i've read ben will be utilized more as a winger. anyway the point is that vellios should move from nottingham sooner that later. but i don't see that happening so at least when karelis is back, he can be a reliable second choice after mitroglou, donis too under circumstances but i see him more as a winger in the nt. in that case vellios wil be third-fourth option in the rotation and that wouldn't bother me as he won't be playing if all out strikers are healthy. ps. athanasiadis moved to maccabi haifa after rejecting konyaspor. hoping for him to find his old self, that would be a big boost for our cf position.

Greece country coefficient
Boxou replied to kolokotronis99tripoli's topic in Other Soccer Topics and Issues
if olympiakos gets past rjieka that would bring greece in the 12th place right away since the qualification in the cl group stage guarantees a bonus of 800 points to greece. moreover we should expect olympiakos to win in croatia and paok in sweden which would bring 400 more points. i hope aek finally manages to score a goal and progress to europa league too, but it would be hard as they have livaja and giakoumakis out, mpakasetas is coming off an injury and their only striker is almeida.. but i think they will find their way to el. i'm speechless about panathinaikos thouhg, they blew out such a lead in a very typical manner, now i just hope they will not give up in spain and take at least a draw (don't think it's going to happen though). from austria, altach is almost out after losing to maccabi at home but austria and red bull are in..viktoria plzen from czech republic has the egde over the cypriot aek but they'll have not to lose with a 2 goal lead in order to get in the group stage. another czech side, slavia, is alsong facing a team from cyprus and they're almost out after losing in cyprus but they have guaranteed at least the europa league group stage. as was pointed above i don't see neither of them making any noise in europe apart from red bull but that wouldn't be enough to save them if from greece, olympiakos paok and aek manage to progress to their respective competitions. -
i hope he comes to olympiakos even if he's a 3rd option behind emenike and djurdjevic. at least he'll be playing in the greek league quite often with the rotation that will be needed during the season. and that's a logical thought since ansarifard will be gone soon, and that leaves olympiakos with 2 strikers. ben will me moved to the wings, so vellios could come here.
-
btw needless to say that vellios is not even in the squad for nottingham forest lately... that guy is dumb. after a bad experience with everton he found his old self in iraklis and instead of greece's big-4 he chooses to play in a relegation side in championship where he's not even in the bench..he's lucky we have a very poor striker selection and still gets called up in the national team. he should move somewhere else ASAP. what a tragedy...

Superleague/Football League/Greek Cup TV Coverage
Boxou replied to Blackhawk's topic in TV, Radio, Video, Gaming & Media
antenna is dead at the moment, only mega is in a far worse situation.. -
for me it's more embarassing to go winless in the group stage rather than getting hammered by barca and atletico..you'll not be neither the first nor the last one to suffer that.
-
i just can't see how we can suffer such a loss. ideal group would be: spartak moscow / shaktar donetsk porto olympiakos beer sheva/maribor/
-
what we need to finish first in the 4 remaining games: 1) greece-estonia = greece win cyprus-bih = draw (belgium comfortably beats gibraltar) 2) greece-belgium = greece win (bosnia gets an easy victory against gibraltar) 3)cyrpus-greece = greece wins (possibly cyprus lays down for that) bosnia-belgium = draw or bih win, both results are in favor of us 4) greece wins over gibraltar final standings greece 24 belgium 22 or 23 (depends on whether they lose or draw bosnia) bosnia 3rd, etc. we're lucky we play belgium first to know what to expect from their game against bosnia.

he's currently injured but there's a chance he's ready in tuesday for olympiakos game so by 31st he should able to start. also i don't like gianniotas, i don't get what people see and rate him that highly, mantalos over him any day because he's better in his defensive tasks and a more creative player. the fact that a mid-table spanish team is second division is interested in him says a lot..hope olympiakos doesn't unload him to them. and don't worry about retsos, there's no way he's going to pick south africa over greece. that news were up about a month ago, basically their nt's coach just came in greece to talk to him and that's it, if he was going to pick south africa we'd already know that..also if you don't mind take a look at his instagram, half of his photos are from his games with youth nts which speaks volumes about that.
