Nope, neither is Bouzoukis who I thought would have been useful, I also think Chatzigiovanis of PAO would have been useful in the ethniki, young, fast and can use both feet

Lamprou could have been used even though he is right footed, otherwise Fetfa is left footed and IMO could have been good to utilize with Kolovos to come in if its not working or vise versa

Sadly he's proven to be very ineffective out wide the last few years which is a shame because I had seen him play ok there in the earlier years

Hopefully Kolovos and not Mantalos or Bakasetas out wide, im sure Masouras will be on the other side

Donis out for both games ? big loss for us

Nothing too exciting... looking at couple of journeyman from Sporting on loan now...

Yep def a draw, especially if we don’t win. Far out man. Donis is always injured

Gianniotis, the former OSFP keeper, has signed with Maccabi Tel Aviv...

Not called up. No form

If Zeca goes RB and Samaris is left to lead the middle we will be down 2-0 in the first 20 mins again. Samaris is getting a free pass, he has been horrible in the last few games for us. We are better off starting Mavrias at RB/W and putting Bouchalakis next to Zeca in the middle

Correct

No but really do hope to see a big crowd, anything under 40k is a fail and officials would be to blame given how poorly the domestic game has been managed in terms of crowd control

Since Sunderland

Zeca needs to be in the midfield. Especially if Samaris starts

I really question Samaris inclusion in the 11's... he has done nothing and only made life worse for the team. He and Fourtounis should not have played in Turkey, if I was coach I really would be questioning what Samaris brings to the team I agree about Tachtsidis and Lykogiannis

Thank you @Emperor

Hi guys I need you help for a piece I am writing - Valerianos - has he played CB for Aris at all? I know he is a left footed player but where was he mainly played with you guys? I had read right back a while ago but I am not sure if that is the case, where is his best poistion? I assume Left back? Thank you

With a full team out there we need Koulouris, Donis's strength is creating chances and scoring from deep. Against Bonsia we missed so many chances as we didnt have an out and out striker there which is what Koulouris is

If that was on target would have been a nice set piece

Come on Ethniki, Turkey is in 2nd gear and cruising, we haven’t done anything to pressure them

Mitriglou is not in the squad. That was a very poor half for us. Defence is horrible and Turkey is playing very well with good passing and running right through us... Samaris has been our worst but no one else has done good, Siopis gets a mention for at least hustling but he needs support

Samaris having a very bad game

He is joining the squad on June 3

It’s a real lowlight or the Greek mentality imo. Are they seeking solutions? How did we have Greeks referring European games and now we call on foreign refs for derby’s. Is any extra training happening to the Greek refs? Ridiculous stuff, just how backwards we are going is killing me

I don’t get how FIFA is looking over our incompetent Fed when Vasiliadis, part of the Government is making all the calls... I thought there were some regulations about that
