Alphonse

Although very young, he has had a fair bit of European experience including UCL so kid is def ready

Ok great news that he wasn’t injured

One way traffic

You have to try Crete. On other hand, look at the football & results of the current Ethniki... hard to get people to go watch that on any National team, our football on the field is absolutely abysmal

Who is Elena? Lol Great place there, great food & ambiance

Teams go through ups and downs all the time, right now it’s hard not to say we are not at a minnow stage, look at the results last 4 years and teams we have played plus our average goal per game with these teams. Its tragic and of massive proportions. On top of that, we can hardly create chances and finish like amateurs. This is actually way worse than pre Euro 04

This campaign is brought to you by AEK management Don’t think I’ve ever felt so at ease that I couldn’t watch much of a UCL match with AEK in it. When you can’t hardly create a chance and watching the other team pass the ball around and pressure you... game in game out, what’s the point. The penalty looked legit to me and Livaja did they handle the ball all he with his shoulder? It was a silly thing do but it’s Livaja, I’m not surprised. We will go 0/6 in a campaign I’d rather forget TBH

Yea... and for free too ?‍♂️ unless Meli decides to actually splash out some Euros

Not sure what Meli is on but more poor management by him. Simoes, Bakasetas and Lambropoulos, ostracised from the team as they won’t renew the same contracts they were on... can’t see Melissanidis’s logic with this and it’s really murdering our team

We’re you like me and thinking “look at us then and look at us now...” It was bit depressing looking at the football we were playing and then looking at what we have to put up with now

Right now, who we draw means little imo. We need to focus on our team and the football they produce. We are deadset horrible again, I actually watched highlights of the Costa Rica game at the gym last night and I have to say, night and day to today. Lazaros was a beast on the wing, taking on players and getting past, up front Salpi and Gekas caused problems whilst Mitro was too slow (even then) to trouble the defence. Samaras was also dangerous wider. Point is, you need to have a balance and we need to stop this slow central players (Mantalos & Bakasetas) on the wing or horrible passers (Pelkas) out there too. We have wing players, use them, and watch an improvement. Finishing our chances is the other issue, massive opportunity for an up and coming striker to make a name for themselves

England would have a field day with the slow and completely lacklustre Greek team, not sure how and why anyone would want to draw them

Did you miss the Euro 2016 qualifiers? Also FYI, Ninis plays more thank Tachtsidis atm. Taxi has not played a minute this seaso

I disagree with this strongly. The team can’t create decent chances because we are so friken slow. Fetfa and Donis would really help us be faster and offer much more creativity out wide than the crap we have seen from Mantalos, Bakasetas and Pelkas.

Holly smokes! Another very bad sign... land of the dumb I swear...

I don’t believe we will be fine at all now days. Since the end of WC in Brazil our actually football has been atrocious, I mean we look like amateurs out there most games. We now lose to minnows on a regular basis, we can’t score goals, I believe we average 0.50 goals a game which is very very bad when you look at recent opposition and the best we can do now is SQUEEZE out 1-0 wins at home... We have a federation that has taken the game backwards when we have every opportunity to go forward BUT nothing will change... I feel hard to knock Anastasiadis so early on but I just wonder when our players will stop looking so silly when they put the ethniki top on... it’s like all club form and football IQ just goes out the window... I dunno, I just see no light at the end of the tunnel with the current EPO and the lack of funding to anything worthwhile for the future. Budgeted coaches for the ethniki for example is not a good sign We have now dropped to pot 4... Wow

I’m away in work trip and was bit disappointed i wouldn’t be able to see this game thinking we win... lost 0-1 to Estonia... F*** me... Forget who we draw with, this team is as bad as it gets, get Postecoglou in there. Everyone talking about leadership like it will change everything, get a serious coach in there who tells them how it is

Thanks dude, highlights did not look good at all... that’s disappointing

Anyone watch the game? Poor result... I was confident we would win

Good point Argy. I watched second half at work and what stood out was the very poor finishing by us. Im so disappointed in our front 4 today, it needs a big shake up as these guys have sucked for consecutive games

Pelkas final pass is proving horrible!!

Our attack has been horrible tbh. Tell you what though, Koutris has a wonderful cross

We sure as hell won’t be scoring 3 today... just saying lol

Pretty ordinary 10 mins, Finland nearly up 1-0, terrible give away by Zeca or Kourmbeli

Spot on @ausgreek
