Hopefully they can refocus for the Europa league later this week and get a win vs F91 Dudelange.

I am relaxed, the team is having major troubles scoring goals and could not create much vs an OFI team that has conceded the most goals in the GSL.

FT OFI Crete 1 Olympiakos 0. No Fortounis, no real threat and there title hopes take a huge hit.

They are playing very well, I definitely was not expecting this kind of start at the beginning of the season. Donis is doing an amazing job with these young players! He should take over the ETHNIKI!

FT Aris 1 PAOK 2

Prijovic goal!!

Big save on the penalty!

If he cant get us to first in the Nations league group which looks highly improbable then he MUST go! The EPO gave him a second chance after the WCUP qualifiers and he has obviously failed, there is no way that Greece shouldn't be a top of this group.They said he would be out after these last 2 games if he didn't get wins and now the EPO may keep him on through the Euro qualification??? WTF. If we do fall further down the rankings and then have 3 tough teams to go through then we will most likely be out of another major tournament!

Greece are going to be in tough if they continue to let Skibbe stay on. I am worried about the draw they will get in December. The team has missed the last 2 tournaments, I still cant believe how they did not qualify for the last Euros after being handed an easy group with Romania, NI, Finland, Hungary and Faroes it should have been a lock to finish in the top 2 in that group and even 3rd would have been good enough to qualify as Hungary made it. Anyways after making the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Euros and 2010 and 2014 World Cups its so tough watching the hard times the Ethniki are going through ATM.

Another Win for PAO today what a start to the season!

I had a feeling they would keep him on those idiots at the EPO! If he sets the team up as he did at Finland were going to struggle and I could see us only getting a draw. The home match vs Estonia should be straight forward but the last time they held us to a draw in the wcup qualifier. Dam we need wins to stay out of pot 4 or worse!

Sinisa Mihajlovic the former Serbian player/ coach is also on the EPO's radar. I really liked his style of play a beautiful free kick taker and I enjoyed watching him at Inter and with Yugoslavia at the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000.

I read the article the EPO may keep him on for the last 2 games so they dont have to pay him any compensation for termination of his contract. I wouldn't be surprised if we see him until the last match with Estonia and will most likely see the same poor results!

Alright, at least we have a glimmer of hope left through this path.

Lets say if Greece finish 2nd to Finland do we still have a chance to go through Nations League via playoffs?

According to the Sydney Morning Herald the EPO have Postecoglou at the top of there short list? How do you guys feel about Ange?

Yes that's how it was explained on video at UEFA site.

AVB wont come cheap that's for sure and the EPO is cash strapped, currently paying Skibbe around $500 000 per year.

Definitely, he was involved in so many big games for the NT after our Euro triumph.

Cyprus should have got a result vs Bulgaria as well.

I would lean towards Villas-Boas...

That's the bright spot but looks like we will have a difficult group to navigate through. Get Rid of Skibbe already don't let him stay on for the last 2 Games we need results to not drop in the rankings.

Yes we are going to see a pot 4 team qualify for Euro like a Armenia, Malta or I hope to God not those skopians. Already from league 1 poland and Iceland have been relegated.

Ever since the day Ranieri took the helm the NT has gone down a very tough road. Finishing last in a cream puff Euro 2016 qualifying group was unimaginable even without the services of karagounis. Now we just saw another similar crap show vs Finland maybe one of the most disjointed losses since the losses to the Faroe Islands.

Good point we could get a Mourinho and they would control him like a puppet. We would still see Tziolis selected ?
