The point against Belgium has given the power back to Greece for 2nd spot (possibly 1st). Bosnia 'MUST' beat us if they wish to advance, otherwise they will have to rely on us dropping points elsewhere. They'll come out and attack so team selection is tricky as Skibbe has to decide whether he wants to play on the counter, or treat the game as you usually would, needing to win. Personally, I feel we should go out play somewhat conservative when required, but with a plan to win (NOT DRAW). If we can beat Bosnia, then their fixture against Belgium will literally become a must win (otherwise no chance for WC18)... If they can then snatch a point of Belgium it may just open a door for us to look for auto qualification.

I'm watching the game at the West Adelaide Hellas club in Adelaide. We need to be better at retaining the ball when we have it!

I don't think formations are anything to get caught up on. A 4-3-3 offensively will transform into a 4-5-1 defensively. A 4-2-3-1 offensively will transform into a 4-5-1 defensively, well should anyway. The team selection is 95% predictable apart from 1 or 2 positions. It's important that Gianniotas, Fourtounis & the 'other wide man' stay very close to Mitroglou when in attack. If we play predictable boring, hit the '9' bullshit with no one around him then Mitroglou will become a liability.

I'm really hoping Zeca doesn't get the gig. For starters I don't think he's anywhere near good enough, & even if he was he's been with the NT for 2 weeks... I think it would be tragic to throw him in against Belgium. If he does start, I hope he proves me wrong.

Geia sas.. My first post! If I was to be realistic I think it would be a steal to get something out of this game,but in saying that I don't feel it's impossible to snatch a draw/win. The most important aspect is a good performance both defending & ATTACKING, because sometimes we seem to lack creativity. This is how I'd set up & my reasoning for it... Kapino Toro Sokratis Manolas Stafy Samaris Tachsidis Fourtounis Mantalos Gianniotas Mitroglou Kapino - Karnezis ektos. Toro - I wouldn't want him going forward too much. Has slowed down,but still experienced. Sokratis - No explanation required. Manolas - No explanation required. Stafy - Is in good form.Can go forward & has pace + work ethic to get back if we are caught out. Samaris - Decent on the ball and breaking up play. Sit in and bring in front 4. Tachsidis - I know he's slow but he'll be able to use that dangerous left foot to find pace out wide. Fourtounis - We have all seen what he's capable of. The rest is up-to him. Mantalos - Will work both ways and isn't foreign in-front of goals. Gianniotas - Little mennace. Quick.Hard work ethic. Dangerous running at players. Passionate.Came from the the Great ARIS. Mitroglou - In great form, but will mean nothing with no supply. Could become a liability if he's not played into the game early. Thoughts?
